I would almost say the opposite...
Secco did the improbable by retaining Buffon, Trezeguet, Camoranesi and Nedved. Essentially, the core of the team. Not to mention convincing Nocerino to stay. I have a feeling Del Piero, Palladino and Chiellini will be extended soon too. Every one of his contract negotiations had some reported drama.
His signings have been disappointing though. Iaquinta, Grygera and Salihamidzic have been great additions so far though. Andrade was starting to rise to form, but the expected long term injury hit at exactly the wrong time. Almiron and Tiago were very, very expensive substitutes. For the combined 20+m euro, Juventus could have snagged an elite midfielder like Diego, Van der Vaart or even Lampard who could have shaped the midfield. Right now, the midfield is on Zanetti's shoulders. Thankfully he seems up to the challenge so far.
