That's a cool name. But I don't have it in me to start another forum. It's like donating a kidney, you can only safely do it once.
Yeah, and take into account that Nick would be a charter member for you.

Keep your kidneys, Martin. He would just end up throwing them in a plastic bag at the Drughi

Check my join date too, Holmes.

Sounds like Martin got some legal papers served by Moggi's litigators. Don't remember that exactly.
On the advice of my lawyer, the honorable Pado, I will make it short. Back then the site was more than a forum, I posted regular news and a bunch of stuff. I also posted pictures from the scudetto celebrations one year, which apparently pissed off someone working for a press photo company, because they had taken the pictures and sold them off. They sent screenshots to my home address with a letter demanding I take the pictures down and pay them. I mulled it over. Eventually I took the pictures down and decided it was probably better not to respond. That's really all.

Seems to have worked for 7 years then. :shifty:
There's more. Back in 2000 I registered the domain juventusfc.net at a free web host, which is the url under which this site was originally started. After a few months my host got a letter from our beloved SpA saying "we're taking it".

Did they at least reimburse you the basic costs of registering?

Grow up you little baby. Waaah, Marotta didn't buy my favorite player. Waaah, Marotta sold Diego. Yes, we are building on a foundation of blue-collar boring players. Exactly what Moggi and Lippi did in Summer 1994, and see how that turned out. Their success was immediate, but Marotta's will take time. Milan have made us look like fools, but why are you fuking crying? I don't see Woverhampton fans crying because Man City bought all the good players.
I hope you're right, but I'd bet on you being wrong.

That's because he has no idea what happened in 1994 and he has no idea how the club was between 1986 and 1994.
I actually started following the club back then, but whatever.

Serge and Pado, you can think I have no idea what I'm talking about because I'm young. But please tell that to Vinni, he probably remembers the history far better than this whiner and complainer.

And I'm sure that Vinni will tell you just what it was like in the years after Platini until the 1994-1995 season. It didn't really start to take shape until Baggio came in 1990, and Vialli and Ravenelli came in 1992, my friend. But the point I was making was that Moggi had a lot more to work with at his disposal in 1994 than what Marotta had to work with.

He didn't have a bunch of players on the back nine of their career making serious wages. I think that Juventus may have had 1, or 2 players, maximum at or over the age of 30 when Moggi took over. A lot of the players on his team back then were just entering their primes or hadn't even reached it yet. He didn't have this huge mess to clean up.

But I just don't see how this can be used as an excuse for signing mediocre players and selling probably our best player. Diego isn't Baggio, that's for sure, but he didn't need to be sold either.

The players we are signing aren't even that young. Most of them are around 27, so it's not like we are building for the long-term here.

I can see how signing blue-collar players is somewhat Moggi-like from back in the day, but the problem is we already have mediocre players. We don't need any more. It makes no sense.
