Was giving this some thought, when I realised I had to float a thread about this. Two abysmal seasons with two clueless people running the show at this beleaguered club. Alessio Secco. Giuseppe Marrotta. While we now have pretty clear ideas about how both of them have worked (or not) at a club of this standing, I wanted to know from you who you think is more incompetent and has proven to be a bigger malaise of the two, now that we have the benefit of hindsight. We could opt for both since its so glaringly obvious that they don't know what it takes to be at Juventus, but if you had to pick one for messing us up assuming the last two seasons as comparison, who would it be?
Alessio Secco vs Giuseppe Marrotta.
I'm gonna start by sticking me neck out and saying I think Giuseppe Marrotta has proven to be the worse of the two. Not only for his lack of vision, but also his unwillingness to look beyond Italian talent. He defined half hearted seasonal objectives. Brought in fourteen new players, often contradicting his reasons for the same. Luca Toni came on board with a contract to die for. Letting go of Trezeguet, Diego, Giovinco among others - probably the reason why we've been so abysmal in attack, save Quag's contribution - who despite being a Marrotta pick wasn't even his first choice. And to top it he brought in Del Neri.
Secco on the other hand, didnt have half the experience Marrotta did, and wasted a lot of money but hired Ranieri who I think is better than Del Neri. Gave Ferrara a chance, and identified targets that were worthy of Moggi's Juve. It's another thing that for every Xabi Alonso we got a Poulsen and Tiago. Of course, we can't forgive him for getting us Amauri. And even though he spent as much if not more than Marrotta at least he did on players like Melo and Diego, who may not be worth 25m eventually. But when you compare that with how lavishly we've spent on this season, you'd think it couldnt get any worse.
While I wouldn't blame an individual alone, for where we are today, I would lay a large chunk of the blame on people filling the role once held by the legendary Luciano Moggi. So who would you pick between the devil and the deep blue sea?
