Alessio, when we were winning against Real Madrid it wasen’t cause we were that much better. It was because of Del Piero.
Under the two years of Ranieri the first year was supposedly the year where the team needed time to “gel”. Well this year the players should have formed some sort of understanding which they clearly didn’t.
When was the last time anyone saw Juventus play with any sort of character or identity? When was the last time you saw our players complete more than 5 passes to each other? Never not even on our best days did we achieve these things and our last 7 games were disgraceful.

I just want to say that i just watched the Zanetti goal on the highlights, and i have to say it’s a contender for goal of the year in my opinion. What an amazing goal. Similar to Essien’s against Barca, but even better.
And it looks like Amauri is getting his form back. Certainly doing better than post-Xmas, though still not on the form he was pre-Xmas.
Back on the Ranieri topic, yea, it might not be enough time, but remember what happenned with Scolari-Hiddink. Chelsea IMMEDIATELY rebooted as soon as Hiddink took control. Would be great for that to happen here with Ferrara.

By the way, by enough time i meant for Ferrara to make a difference, with just 2 games remaining.

Ranieri is definitely the reason why you guys never really challenged Inter for the Scudetto. How is ADP starting over the likes of Giovinco.

Giro the question is how are guys like Salihamidzic and Marchionni starting over Giovinco.
Words cannot describe how happy I was when I woke up and saw “OFFICIAL: RANIERI SACKED” on channel4.com.

From guardian.co.uk:
Ranieri’s sacking was the “last resort”, according to general manager Jean Claude Blanc. “We have taken this decision as a last resort when the team is not playing well,” explained Blanc at a press conference in Turin. “We are convinced that this will deliver a clear message to the players: these final two games are fundamental and need to be played to the very best of their ability. Everybody has got to take responsibility.”
“After the recent results, we find ourselves just one point ahead of Fiorentina and that is why we have decided, evaluating the whole season, to relieve Claudio Ranieri of his duties,” added Blanc. “It was a decision shared overwhelmingly by the whole club.

Blanc is full of shit. A good CEO, but he needs to stick to the finances and quit his job as the GM.

I feel bad for Claudio, as if he was going to be fired, it should have been done a few weeks ago. Anyone could have seen by the Inter match that Ranieri had lost this team. The board and the players are not without blame for this mess also, but I hope that Ciro can kick some butt and get two wins in these last two matches.

Andy, you’re the classic, classless hater. Juventus is the most decorated team in Italy and even after being stripped off a cpl scuddetti thanks to Calciopoli, La Vecchia Signora still has close to 3 fucking stars you imbecile. Now feel free to suck on ADP’s dick while you read the above mentioned information.

i dont think its necessarily classless to sack Ranieri at this point. Perhaps the sacking will turn your form around, it happens pretty often.

Does anyone know what kind of football Ciro Ferrera Likes to play and formation? I hope he dosnet play like a Giovani Trapatonni or some sort of Catenaccio football!

i don’t undrstand why everybnody is jumping for conte ??? the man hasn’t proved absolutely nothing yet!
ferrara maybe to,but he’s directly from the school ofthe absolutely grandmaster LIPPI i much more prefer that.
if ferrara doenst continue i would like rijkaard to coach juve.
but besides a new coach they need besides diego at least 3 more signingsPosted from

This is why, incredible.
http://juventus.theoffside.com/team-news/antonio-conte-the-next-great-italian-manager.htmlI never want Rijkaard at Juve. He’s overrated and he would never fit into the Juve philosophy.
I think it was classless, and I’m glad other Italian managers and directors think so too. Our management has no brains.
Sam, given that he’s only coached at the youth level and as Lippi’s assistant, I don’t think anyone will know that, and he probably varied his formation based on his talent.

Alessio, our management is made up of liars that break promise after promise. But sacking Ranieri was the right thing to do, the only problem that I see with it is that it was a few months too late.
Ofcourse other managers are gonna think it was wrong to sack a coach what manager wants to be sacked?
I don’t know much about Rijkaard other than he led Barca to a Champions League and 2 straight La Ligas. His last season there was pretty bad though. I’m currious about your opinion on why we shouldn’t get him though.

His career at Milan and Barcelona was all about attractive free-flowing football. Juventus is about results and ugly wins.
Plus, I’m not terribly impressed with his work at Barcelona. Yeah, he did well, and I’ll give him full props for winning the CL, but either him and Guardiola are geniuses or Barcelona just has an obscenely stacked team.

ever think that Secco is idiot because he bought so many flops? think again. even moggi made a mistake. A top-ten flop buying by Moggi in C4.

Should I add Thiery Henry?

Tom, its true Moggi did mistakes, but if you read properly, none of those flops stayed for more than a season, they were then sold, unlike what Secco is doing with the current flops, how on earth can you put Secco and Moggi on the same page?
and im with Alessio, simply terrible to sack Ranieri now, he deserves much better, have we forgotten that Juve had the best results in the games of Milan, Inter and Roma last year, and this year we only lost to Inter through a lucky goal they scored….i am with him being sacked by the end of the year (maybe), but to have his name as the first manager in 40 years to be sacked before the year ends…..he deserves much more respect than that because the players are to blame just as much as him

HolyMann, thanks. Indeed, Secco would never be in par to be compared with Moggi. My Bad
Bottom line is, even the HolyMoggi did mistakes.
