Should Beppe Marotta be sacked? (9 Viewers)

[Martin]

I'm dating a lawyer. And there is one thing I have learned relatively quickly in the 2 weeks we have been dating her...never argue with a lawyer. Ever.

We?

People who have nothing to say about the issue at hand like to find some fault with the presentation.

It's this kind of unbiased undivided attention this forum needs.

have to disagree with you big time. Vidal, Bonucci, Barzagli, Lichsteiner, Asamoah, Giovinco, Vucinic and... Pirlo. He has built, along with Conte, the best team in Italy. Just be patient and we'll get a striker. Bilbao have been very greedy with Llorente, and if he doesn't sign a contract then Juventus can get him for a very low fee in January, or nothing.

Come on guys, just because he didn't get that big name striker, doesn't mean, we have to fire him. The rest of the squad is perfect and Gio - Vucinic with Bendtner, Quag and Matri on the bench isn't such a bad bench to have. I am pretty sure we will be active in January to buy Llorenete or Dzeko.

Jovetic didn't want to leave (he said it himself) and RVP would have been way to expensive. From a financial standpoint we are simply not in the same league as ManU ManC etc.

So we HAVE to let him here

From a financial standpoint, we have spent nearly as much as ManShitty and iirc, more than United in the last three years.

Can you actually back that up?

Also, what do you mean when saying "from a financial standpoint".

 

[Dominic]

After he failed yet again to sign his so called promised ''top player'' and made an embarrassment of himself and Juventus by signing utter shit players near deadline day I would like to ask the question should Beppe's contact be extended or not?

Could the mods add a poll maybe?

are you serious ?!

Wages included also?

 

[Dostoevsky]

Of course not. Sadly nobody takes a look at wages.

 

[microbox]

those who want to sack marrotta what is your best substitution for him?

To put it into comparison since Sheikh Mansour took over in 2008 Man City have made cash investments of £930m (€1.18Bn).

PSG have spent almost as much as City net in the past 2 seasons...

Assuming we look at this from the start of Marrotta's tenure, sure City have definitely outspent us from 2008, no argument there at all. But if we don't aggregate these spends and break them down, it makes for an interesting comparison. It's a pretty telling statistic to see the last two years, we've been right up there with them. If these spends were prioritised well enough, we could definitely have at least ONE WC player to show for this (wages included.) I would like to think we haven't spent the transfer kitty yet since the striker has not been nought and it would be safe to conclude we might outspend them by the time Jan comes around, if they don't go for Falcao So off the three, have we outspent them in two?

10-11, the 45m out is am interesting reading. What's the breakdown there? Only remember Diego going for 18m!? Who else did we sell for big money?

Wages is definitely an important consideration, and nobody can avoid that reality. All I'd like to say is, that it's wrong to say we don't have the money.

They've outspent us from 2010 as well, as I've just shown you.

Depends what you are talking about having the money for.
