Gaddafi's Juventus assets frozen
Mouammar Gaddafi’s assets have been frozen, including the 7.5 per cent of Juventus belonging to his company, LAFICO.

The EU has frozen all the assets of Colonel Gaddafi and his family following the unrest in Libya.

It has now been confirmed that includes LAFICO, a company that owns 7.5 per cent of Juventus.

“The club accepts the move from the Ministry of Economics and Finance,” read a statement.

It is not yet clear how that will affect the financing of the Bianconeri, who are running at a loss.

Fucking Fiat. They should just sell the team already and get done with it. I hope the Italian NT always flops at the WC and EC.

Fuck the NT. We need to sell to some foreign investors who will give a shit about this club and not keep :tuttosport: ing at any Italian talent, whether it be exceptional (very rare) mediocre or downright useless!

'Foreign investors' and 'give a shit about the club', as if those things go together. If they invest lots of money it's because they want to see their purchase pay off, they could be a Sheikh or Abramovich, pure bragging rights. As if Sheikh Mansour was an avid Man City fan before he joined. They don't care about the club, at least not immediately, Juventus would be an attractive proposition to someone however.

Do they realize that now without CL money and losing our fourth spot for CL places means we are going to have to spend A LOT of money this summer? It was hard enough for us to get in the top fourth this year which we seem to have failed but how much more difficult is it going to be to get in the top 3 now, especially after every team ahead of us will continue to spend heavily and reinforce their team even more?

Every team ahead of us will grow stronger and stronger this summer mercato and where will we be? We need answers from our BoD asap on this because I think it's only fair that the fans start preparing ourselves now for one way or the other. I am prepared to play another CL-less season but I am not prepared to have a 3rd straight season like this.

Major reinforcements are needed everywhere in the starting 11 and bench. It is going to be expensive as fuck to catch up.

Lastly, a new coach. Where do we draw the line here? None of us are experts here but do we buy the right players and spend massively and keep DN or do we just bank this summer on a capable coach, give him a lot of money that he demands and give him full reign over the mercato?

Do we just get the great players and hope the best from DN and hope those players just take us up another level or do we get a new coach, start over again and let him bring in the right players? But then again, if we bring in a DD or VB, how can we be sure they would even bring the right players? Maybe their players would flop? We got some shit to figure out this summer, that's for sure...I hope this shareholders meeting is met with a fucking lot of protesters making a lot of noise.

Either spend a lot, or get all of the transfers they make spot on.
Yes, I agree about spending a lot, regardless. An expensive coach and a couple sweet players or same coach and more then a couple sweet players. Either way, prepare to spend.

I feel like we are a developing country taking loans from the IMF/World Bank to break our periphery bubble but do to the high interest rates set by the banks that our dumb asses fell for, we will never reach our goal. Always in debt, always a step behind.

:sergio:

what if we bough the likes of Sanchez/Neymar, Cissokho, Beck, Mascherano, Asamoah, Pastore...etc...how do we know that DN will even succeed with pure breds like them? I don't think he can...

Sell the club, fire Marotta and Del Neri, get an ace coach, 3-4 world class players....

and then I wake up and realize it's just a dream, and we aren't in 2024-2025 and Juventus are about to get their 4'th star and win their 5'th CL crown.

Yet the man invested around 250 millions just a couple of years in a club that hardly many knew about outside of england !!

For the first time in 30 years they're in the F.A cup final and they'll most likely gonna be playing CL football next season too. While one of Europe's biggest Giants are struggling within their own "shit" league to make it to the Europa league next season !!

Come on, are you guys seriously suggesting that we're better off with the current owners who doesn't give a rats ass about the club and rather stick with them while not wanting foreign investors like Abramovich and sheikh mansour who turned pretty much an average (below average) clubs into title contenders...

I used to believe into all that mentality in saving the traditions of the club and keeping the agnelli's as owners forever some 10-15 years ago but not anymore. Look at Roma and how they've parted away with the sensi family after being their for such a long time. Berlousconi who brought milan back in 1986 and turned the club into such a success story in the past 25 years.

Lets keep the tradition while the others are moving forward and doing the right thing for their clubs. Football clubs today are businesses and any business that sticks with their old idea's and refuse to change would die eventually no matter how big that business is. Thats just a fact.

The younger generation of football fans in the world will hardly know Juve in a few years time. Ask any 14-15 years old youngster (not Italian) about this club and they'll tell you that yes we've heard about the club but they're hardly interested in it. We play like shit and we're hardly winning anything (not even in the crap serie A right now).

Unless a new investor buys the club and starts buying WC players in the coming few years, we will be struggling for many many years just to make it to the CL.

And thats not a far-fetched idea by the way, Borussia Dortmund were playing against us in the CL final back in 1997 and since winning that title back then they've disappeared out of the European scene since then and finally after 14 years they're back just this season. Ajax is a Giant club and much bigger club (historically) than clubs like arsenal, chelsea, city and others yet look where they are now !!
