Oh come on, it's not like Blanc is actually in England now? As if the English media wouldn't have been all over that by now.


Unless.... he's a ninja!

Do you think the English media has any idea who Blanc is?
Mirror and the Times are running the tuttosport/corriellodesport article. Whatever that means.

Consensus is that Rafa is saber rattling to gain some funds from the Yanks.

Really?

It was an article written about Juve in a negative fashion and you're surprised Vinman agreed with it?
It wasn't so much about Juve as it was about Benitez. But i'd expect no football follower to buy that shit.

The guy actually suggests Juve to keep Ciro till the end of the season and then buy a quality replacement, instead of buying Benitez now.

First of all, the fact that the author of the article suggests Juve to keep Ferrara till the end of the season is a good enough reason not to take him seriously.
Second, he made it look as if Benitez is a no-one, so instead of buying that "nobody" right now we should better wait till the summer to buy a good coach.

Third, the guy is asking himself why should Juve replace Ferrara with an equivalent from the English football.
It's like someone in 1998/99 asking why should Leicester replace their coach with Marcelo Lippi, who is doing equally bad in Italy. Or someone asking in 2008 why should Valencia replace their coach with Ancelotti, who is doing equally bad in Milan.

Ferrara is a big no-one in the coaching department while Benitez managed to win La Liga twice with a team that isn't named Barcelona or Real and managed to play two CL finals in the last 5 years eliminating Ronaldinho's Barca, Kaka's, Ancelotti's and Shevchenko's Milan, Mourinho's Chelsea, Ibrahimovic's Inter, Capello's Juve.
Even if the author was comparing the current situations, it's an insult to Benitez to be compared to Ferrara as a coach.

Like I said few days ago, sometimes both the coach and the players get sick of each other and nothing works. The same happened to Lippi in 1998/99 and the same happened to Ancelotti and Mourinho in these last 2 years. But all that is needed for these top class coaches is a change of environment.

We have fucking Ciro Ferrara as a coach and our options to replace him are Zaccheroni, Gentile or some other Italian no-ones, but more than 100 people say no to freaking Benitez :howler:

We really deserve what's happening to us.

Benitez isn't ragu enough for the Italien Stallion.

Why bring in a good manager when you could have an Italian one?
Yeah, if Benitez was Benitti he'd have been rated much higher, at least by Vinman, and the article I quoted would have never been written.
