capello , lippi , ancelotti ... etc all managers who coached players or used to play football
yeah, all wonderfull coaches, they have played, they coach, they win.
But Moggi doesn't know only about players, teams and formations. He knows also how to organize a team, how to choose the players, what to say to jounalists, he has the ability to form usefull alliances, he is a talent scout, he (with bettega and giraudo, of course) has had the ability to make Juve (but also Torino, Napoli and so on) win, even without the money of the Agnelli family..
We have to remember that the last time the Agnelli paid our transfer market was in the summer of 1993!
All of our players of the last decade (Davids, Inzaghi, Zidane, Deschamps, Sousa, Ferrara, and many others) have come from Moggi's ability to pay not much the future stars and to sell them for a lot of money, buying younger players, that have done great anyway, with that money...
I can admit that there can be someone that knows played football like him, but u said that he doesn't know anything about it at all!
