Like many others, I have become reluctantly accepting of the ineptitude of our board and manager. This last four weeks have been one of the worst I can remember as juve supporter. And if I feel like that, I am sure the feelings are mirrored across the world of juventini...I have never been so desperate to see a manager leave. Either Juventus or Gillingham ( i also follow the league two battlers Gills as was born in Kent).
I have never felt so strongly that the clubs problems on the field are down to the coach, more than any other factor.
When we are struggling to grab a draw, at home, to lecce, I know that there is something deeply wrong with our club. If we can feel it, so can the players, so can the management, so can the board, so can the owners...And something must be done.
Is there any real chance that Cigli and his deputies will go back on their word, and sack him?
Its a battle. On one hand, they want to maintain their integrity, and in some warped but understandable way...> sticking to their word, continuining to back Ranieri.
Still, their allegiance should be to the club, not to their egos. Elkann, I hope, is right now turning the screw and saying BASTA.
I read a rumour on goal about ferrara taking over for the final four games of the season. Probably bullshit...but I like the idea. I don't see how he could do any worse than Ranieri, and he knows the youth team extremely well, so perhaps we could blood a few youngsters...Leaving him in the Job now, if theya re to sack him in the summer, is useless, and damaging. Its clear that he has lost the fans, and also, lost the players. What reason is there for him stay???
Can this situation seriously continue, indefinitely, until the end of the season when Cogli will say 'we are dissapointed, we understand the fans frustrations, but we have a 5 year plan, we are 3 years into it, and doing ok'...
I was pissed off to see us losing, in the first half, to Lecce. But the idea of defeat was tempered by a certainty that Ranieri would have to be culled. That is not the same as wishing defeat onto Juventus. Far from it...it is merely my heart crying out for the Shit Cloud to be lifted from our club.
Is there a chance of him being sacked this week? Or in the Summer???
If so, who will come in to replace him???
I like Gian Piero Gasperini. He has done wonderfully this season...and has history with our club.
Conte needs to cut his teeth with a decent team, in a decent league, before he should be given the chance to run Juve...I dont question his heart and determination, I just would prefer someone more experienced. You need more than heart and spirit, to do well at Juventus.
Other than the Gian Piero Gasperini...who else is there??? And would he come to us???
“How could I ever say no? Juve represent about 20 years of my life,” Gasperini, a few weeks back.
