Serie A Flop of the year (2 Viewers)

[swag]

It was a truly spectacular collapse.

True. But the collapse was motivated by the owner's personal greed. I'm not sure that's so much a flop as the boss man looking to cash out.

I'll admit, I didn't expect him to do worse than last season.

I expected mediocrity. He delivered on that promise.

Not really.

He would have just sold Cassano for his market value if that was the case. Instead he tried to sack him and force him out.

Pazzini may have been greed, but Cassano was more about Garrone's ego.

that's what you get when you let Del Neri and Marotta go

Maybe.

What I don't understand is that some people used Samp's rubbish season as a reason to criticise those two.

If anything, surely it shows they were very important to the club and did a good job there.

Not Pazzini. But I have to give props for how Garrone handled Cassano. No more babied infants. Good for him.

It's not like Zamparini...

true, but they were still doing OK till Garrone let Cassano and Pazzini go - when you sell your best players, for whatever reason, the message you send to the rest of the team is one of lack of ambition and the rest of the players lost concentration, I think, and the team as a whole went into free fall since then.

It's fine for Garrone to behave like that to Cassano if he personally is willing to fill the 10m gap created by not getting proper value for Cassano.

Instead, he didn't get that, didn't reinvest the Pazzini cash, and got Samp relegated.

While I like to see people standing up to players, Garrone's job was to do what was best for the club, and he failed to do that.

Del Neri.

It was stronger than me.

I am sure all here would understand your weakness

I figured we would struggle for 4th but this season has been a total disaster. We sucked in the EL too, couldn't win a single game.

 

[The Curr]

Garrone, without a doubt. Delneri doesn't even come close.

 

[K.O.]

It got to be Garrone. I hope he enjoyed that dinner, ceremony (or whatever it was) that Cassano turned down, who btw is laughing his ass off.

 

[X Æ A-12]

I doubt it. I'm pretty sure he would rather still be at Samp.

 

[Trequartista]

I doubt it. I'm pretty sure he would rather still be at Samp.

I also think so. He is not starting often at Milan while he was a hero at Sampdoria. He was the club's star and the city's hero.

The fact that he begged Garrone to keep him proves that reality.

 

[K.O.]

Maybe. But he's still laughing his ass off at Garrone.

 

[Trequartista]

Really?

 

[K.O.]

That was in the past. Garrone humiliated the man enough to make him his arch enemy.

 

[Trequartista]

Garrone is an idiot anyways. Samp fans want him to sell the club, as they should.

 

[The Curr]

I think his son is being groomed to take over from him soon. A bit like North Korea.

Not a very comforting sight for Samp fans considering that the late Kim Il-Sung is still the leader of the state(eternal leader) while Kim Jong-Il is merely the general secretary of the communist party.
