But this board won't fire Ranieri because like somebody already said, he's the dog of the board.
I don't know what's the reason they won't fire him but i know that they won't fire him.
Unless we fail to qualify for CL you can all expect to have Ranieri as our coach next year.
Our board wouldn't have splashed 12-13m euro on Sissoko, the player Ranieri asked for, if they planned to fire him, would they ?

Ranieri had much harder job than any other coach this season. He had new, young team with few senior players who did not perform up to level. Remember Neddy & DP. Just last 6-7 games they are playing as they should. He had so many injured players, he had to fight against referees too. Now against journalist as well.
He gives interviews in Italian mainly and many of them are misinterpreted.

Thing about Sissoko is that Rafa did not want to sell him at beginning of season, and its only natural to put price up in that case.
Now Rafa wants Mascherano who is bit different player, but they would need £17 mil to keep him, and i dont think they would have him. But their midfield is so crowded as they have Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso, Babel, to mention few off.

Also I am really surprised to read that some of you cheered up for Inter after 2:0..
He would not loose his job even if it stayed like that, as our 11 is not even close to Inters at the moment. Shame on you.

In regards to new coach, lets wait until end of the season , and if we achieve what we planed than there is no reason for changes. If not , well..
I don't agree with many of your points. I don't believe he had the hardest job this season in calcio. He did have senior players on his team as well as up and coming talent. Its a coach's job to bring out the best in players. He consistently played players out of position. He had a transfer budget which was not used well as well as his mistakes on the pitch. I don't see how he has made the most of his situation. Oh and I also understand Italian and have seen many of his press conferences as well as his interviews in Italian. I still think he has said many stupid things. So no language barrier there between Ranieri and me. :p

Also if we are to get a position in the CL, I think it is still necessary to fire Ranieri at the end of the season. We need a winning coach not a loser like Ranieri.

Also, I know the whole Liverpool situation so I don't need the explanation. I follow Liverpool from time to time as I like many of their players. I was just being sarcastic. Sometimes I just forget that people don't understand sarcasm on a forum.

Im not a Sissoko fan,but that doesnt say anything about his quality,or the lack of it,as a player.VDV could go for 1m after June,and he's worth around the 10m mark right now.But he is worth the money.The point is,the value of a player does not define how good/bad he is everytime.
As I stated above, I'm sorry if you took that seriously but it was merely me being sarcastic in that regard. It obviously doesn't translate into a forum well.

Sacking Ranieri now wouldn't make any sense and would be the most pathetic thing to happen. We'll just turn into another Inter.

I think the problem would be to find another coach that is capable.
Lippi? Mourinho?... I doubt they want to start at any team in the middle of a season, we are stuck with Ranieri whether we like it or not

Sure he's much better than Nocerino, is that what we need right now? 'A much better' players to each of our players? Let's get a much better Del Piero, a much better Trezeguet, a much better Nedved... No, we need defenders now. We don't need to fork our 12 million euro's on a much better Nocerino.

Well you're probably right, but when he decides to bring in Sissoko in January it sends out a bad message.
We have enough DM's already.

Rafa is great, and look at him now..He is loosing plot and might be lucky to get Lpool to 4th place.
For stability u need long term investment in players as well as a coach..Eg. Alex Ferguson.I think 21 years in MU and Wenger ...
Alex Fergusons squad looked decent from the off. He had less to do than Ranieri does because we have just had a season in Serie B. Like said before, Ranieri has won jack shit before he came here, so why did the board think he was going to be the man to bring us back up?

Seriously there should be a smiley for sarcasm or something.
Ill agree. I hate putting [/sarcasm] after each post which I want to be sarcastic.

TBH, I can only think of Lippi or Mourinho, other than these two? whom can we get?
They are the best so they are the only two you would want to get now we have seen how much of a risk it is getting a second class coach. Most successful side in Serie A deserves a great coach.

Thats what I was thinking, If we can't replace him at the end of the season with someone such as Lippi or even Mourinho, then I'd probably stick with him than take another coach who will drive this ship somewhere far. And then we'll be crying for real.


Didier wouldn't be a bad choice, but I doubt he'll return.

Cronios you probably know me more than the rest here how I am patient with managers and players. While everyone was against Capello, I was probably the only one to argue with everyone to support him. It was the same at Ancelotti time. You said it yourself, and I agree with you, that bringing Ranieri was a crime from the first place. And it is justified now, so what is the point in keeping him if he is the wrong guy? If we had balance, consistence and a good performance, why would I want him go? People are bullshitting me that taking Del Piero off from Sampdoria game was the reason he did good against Inter. That move cost us two golden points from serie A, what is this bullshit about? Is Coppa Italia our new Champions league?? is it our primary target to play careless in Serie A?? Everyone is forgetting that we played a shitty performance against Inter, and Del Piero's goal was totally an individual skill, not something Ranieri taught him to do. We were playing pathetic against a 10 men reserve team, and were down 2-0 down, that's is not an acceptable! and above that you add another defender to the team?? Everyone is claiming that that was a good move, doesn't know what football is about!


What balance? what teamwork? what stability?

We (Juventus) are now risking future. Look what Ramos did with Tottenham!! miracles are not needed. Just common sense. We need vision, concrete idea of how our teem should look like. Most of people here stand by and have a vision (even Lampoard). The man at the side line right now is clueless and is not limited at all with players at disposal and injuries. He is the one who let them out of the team, and YES, managers have "some" responsibility.
Guys dont make me defend CR, i hate it, as i m one of his main bashers,
no need to convince me of his non-value.
But the concept of changing the coach at mid-season has been repeatedly proven as bad idea and i m against it!
One way or another, CR hasnt got disastrous results as of yet and it is not a necessity.
We have already made a mistake, by bringing him, from the very beginning and trying to correct it now, would only make things even worse, its too late.
Thats why i was against this move from the beginning, because i predicted this moment and because i know there is no easy fix, using a radical solution!
Our noob managers should have given a second thought to this, but they found CR's salary too tempting to pass on...:pumpkin:
I accuse our incompetent managers for CR's mistakes!
Thats what managers do, they are always a few steps ahead and make the right strategic decisions.

Teamwork isnt build within a day and we still lack of it, the more we change our starters and our coach, the more we are getting away from it.
If we bring another urgent solution now and change it for a better permanent solution within a year, we lose more and more in the long run, for sure!
At this very moment we need stability, as much as we need results.
We are building a new team.
As long as we are third and we have no internal problems, a new risky move woulnt be a wise choice, since we have more to lose than to win.
Our managers could bring an even worse coach that could lead us to uefa positions,
or someone as stubborn as Capello, that would provoke problems within our team and players, a sector, where CR keeps some balance. There is no guarantee that things will work any better,with a new coach and we are not that desperate just yet. I m not any confident that our owners would do any better than CR.
CR's team, is only 3 months old and they managed not to lose the derbies and keep up with the top teams, even surpassing giants, like the CL winner, Milan.
This is not smth we could call a horrible performance and it can not easily surpassed or repeated.I was expecting much less from CR.
A draw with that Inter is much much more valuable than a draw with the older, weaker Inter and us having in our disposal, the Capello's team, instead of this pitiful team with starters like Molinaro.
Capello had the better team and he didnt manage to gain from than superiority,
CR has an inferior team and manages to cope with them. For my standards CR has done a better job than Capello,(in the derbies at least), considering the circumstances...
For a coach to make things better now and present a miracle, covering all the lost time would be, a task almost impossible to do, even for the best coaches in the world.
So unless we have the chance to bring one of them and keep him as a permanent solution, i m against of any coach changing, that would unbalance any kind of balance we have, or we may have in the near future and is currently growing up day after day.
Just look at the Milan clubs, they have average coaches but keeping them so long time, are now benefit of great teamwork and a certain gameplan infused in the team's spirit.
This cannot happen within a day.
Its unfair to expect from CR to present the same performance and compare his work to theirs, when he had only 3 months and a summer to build his team.Not to mention the material he has.
And its entirely impossible for any coach that would bring now to do that within a week's time!
If we had the option on Mourinho, even if that would compromise the rest of the season, i would agree with that move,
but any other coach of CR's caliber or worse, wouldnt help us now...

Bringing in a Sissoko to replace Nocerino, wouldnt help our creativity problems, some thing is valid more ol less, for a coach similar to CR's caliber, if we had no option to buy anyone better in the summer, we wont have any much better options now.


Besides, a new coach would only risk to lose CL qualification and destroy his prestige/carrier,
if he finishes at top 3, he would only repeat CR's performance,
to reach in the top with that point+material handicap, would be almost impossible for anyone now.
No sane, high class coach, would join us now under those circumstances!
(only Lippi's affection for our team would, probably)
Having secured the CL position, a new big budget and a summer to adjust the team, would be very tempting though...:eyebrows:

I think you ppl have been too emotional after the Inter struggle,
i was too, but i tried to be rational and i voted for option 2
and then i had to defend it,
later on, i saw i was the first one to do and the vast majority vote for option 1,
but i was sure that, in the second day, things would chance,
as ppl calm down and become as objective as before,
i advice you, never to make on the spot decisions, when you are nervous:p

It's you problem if you can't understand that line, you don't have to be a genius, try reading it again.

I will tell you one last thing, Ranieri takes the blame for having these players in his squad, Didier had character, he refused to manage if the board won't let him do his job with full control. Ranieri preferred to be their "Dog" and obey whatever they say, he can't win this way, but he is the one ends with the responsibility of these, because he could refuse these players if he didn't want to have. If he didn't refuse, then he took the responsibility. That simple!


You contradict yourself when you say raneri is stopping our players from playing the way they know how to and then saying the only thing that's getting us through right now is our players ability. Let me explain something to you, you can't say raneri is holding our players back from playing to their potential and then say the only reason we aren't losing games is because of how good individual players are playing. GENIUS!

    Even thou you are an idiot, but I will give you another chance to understand!

    Let's start from defense.

    1- Chiellini playing out of his position, he is not doing bad, but this is weakening the left back position, Chiellini is not going further anymore with his great dribbling and crossing, instead we are playing with Molinaro, who can't pass or cross but he keeps doing that and loses us balls.

    2- He is playing Palladino at right midfield, where he is naturally plays at left or as a forward, and we saw how he is performing, and everyone wants him out already.

    3- He is playing Marchionni as a forward, with all the forwards we have, and we saw how he fucked it up!

    4- Playing Salihamidzic as a center midfielder, where he never played there before, again fucked it up!

    He has two center midifielders at his bench but he puts Brazzo in, while he could put Almiron in, the guy at least has a little more creativity in him than Brazzo, at least he can pass the ball forward! At the time where we lacked all the creativity, he takes Del Piero out where he was the only creative player left along with Nedved, and put Iaquinta in, and cuts the connection of the midfield with the attack, and we end up with 1 point against a weak side of Sampdoria (that misses it's both top players, Montella and Cassano).

    When your team is down 2-0 against a reserve team that plays with 10 players almost the whole match, you don't add another defender and take out a midfielder. But why we didn't lose? Because Del Piero took the fucking ball out of nowhere and scored a brilliant goal that no one imagined he would even shoot, you see why we won? Because of Del Piero's experience, the man is on fire, can you imagine what else he could do if we had creative players behind him, where they could pass with him and receive good balls, instead of going back to midfield and take his own ball to create his own game and score. But no, Ranieri see everything fine, and he wants to add Sissoko to the squad, who need a fucking creativity, if Del Piero wants to score, then he should move his ass backward take the ball and score! This is what Ranieri wants, he just wants to not take a lose, he doesn't desire a win, that's why he is no winner!

    "How Ranieri is causing the players not to perform to their full potential If you say his team won because of individual skill".

    He says I am contradicting myself in that line, what do you expect me to say to that philosopher? :D

    I had to write all that to explain him a simple sentence, and I am sure it still won't help.. :pumpkin:

    I have a dream that Lippi take us to a 3-0 victory over Inter and blows his cigar smoke in Mancini's face after the match:)
