I know there are multiple threads about the recent scandal in this forum but I haven't seen discussion from this point of view.
The image of Juventus, as tainted as it was before, is even more in the mud than ever before. All the Finnish newspapers have headlines which paint Juve as a cheater and a real mafia team and I'm sure it's the same with other countries as well. Even if we were to be announced innocent the image has been damaged for many years to come. People don't need proof, they see the headlines and that is all that's needed. We were hated before but now even the football illiterate will recognize us as "the cheater team".
The economical side of things is also concerning. Juve could lose the shirt deal made with Tamoil and the TV deal if demoted to Serie B or lower. The other big sponsors would disappear too becaue of bad publicity. Juve's stock is falling. Even Fiat could reconsider the involvement with Juve because they have their own set of problems. There can be a real economical mess ahead of us.
I'll never be ashamed of supporting Juve but the consequences of this scandal could prove to be very, very dramatic.
