And here we are Comolli continues because he did nothing wrong, he did exactly what Elkann asked him to do and we continue as planned, expect more of the same...

I dont think that fanbase here deserves it...the ones who deserve it are those corruptive ultras who dont want to expose because they dont want to lose their tickets on curva sud.

We were against pirlo as coach, paratici, allegri, giuntoli, comolli, arrivabene, cherubini, elkann,... but what can we do

He is exactly what this fanbase deserves

Years and years of failure.
I wouldn’t wish this level of misery and disillusionment even to my biggest enemies, no real fan deserves it, not even @Robee when he blindly defends majority of their mistakes and always finds a positive spin to failures…

But tbh with you it’s hard to argue against it when years after years so many of us have made peace with the mediocrity that has taken over this once great club, the general lack of ambition and drive at being again a genuine big club is disgusting.

You're confusing explaining with defending again. Never said he had a good transfer market on the contrary...

Today there was a news outlet reporting Elkann is running low on patience but he doesn't feel like Comolli should be fired yet after only the first year. That sums it up perfectly for me; you can't plan an overhaul in a few months but money time is now...

The fact that Comolli wasn't kicked out of the club the very day we failed to qualify for the Champions League tells you everything you need to know about John Elkann. At this point, I'm convinced he's the worst thing that ever happened to the Agnelli family.

Indecisive, reactive instead of proactive, constantly late when decisions need to be made. That's fine if you're managing a bureaucracy. It's a disaster if you're running a football club.

Actually, scratch that. The whole "corporate mentality" that has infected everything over the last twenty years is a recipe for failure in general. But that's a different discussion. Need examples? Take your pick: Ferrari, Disney, Netflix, Electronic Arts, Boeing. Everywhere you look, you can see the results of corporate management replacing people who actually understand the product.

We've somehow ended up with a club owner who fails at almost everything sports related. At times he feels less like a family-holding owner and more like a James Bond villain who accidentally bought a football club.

So unless Andrea Agnelli somehow finds his way back to Juventus, don't waste your time dreaming about major success.

At this point, just pray for Europa League qualification. That's where we are.

You should see me on Football Manager. I'm out there winning back-to-back Champions Leagues with FC Rændömskändinâviénklüb. At this point, I'm open to any offer Juventus wants to make. If I ran the club by scouting players exclusively through FM Scout, I'd probably do a better job than Comolli.
