Great! The new season is starts again! I cant wait to see Diego and Melo in action. I am also really eager to see how the 4-3-1-2 works out too

Will Astro be showing Juventus vs Chievo tomorrow?

Omg.. This result is even more embarrassing than Milan's 4 nil defeat by Manchester United.

This is a disgrace to Italian football and a total disgrace and humiliation to Juve fans....

For once we thought that by having Ranieri gone, things will get better.. The situation took a turn for the worse this season!!!

A great move by our beloved Capitano... But I doubt it will make any difference. Yes the team showed great unity and spirit by wanting to train a day extra... but sometimes passion, determination and unity is not enough.


Our defense is old and disgraceful... Midfield has no cohesion and lacks creativity.. Our strike force lacks pace and are way too static...


With strikers like Iaquinta/Amauri.. we need to be playing a formation with wingers.. not through the middle with Diego...

We should have been playing:


Buffon

Cacereas Cannavaro Chiellini Grosso

Marchisio Melo

Camoranese Diego Giovinco

Amauri

Added on March 22, 2010, 4:56 pmPlayers we should get rid of:

- Chimenti (Contract expires at the end of the season, at age 41, it is high time he retires or join Juve's coaching staff)
- Grygera (An average player whom is fast becoming below average)
- Zebina (An average player whom is getting worse by the day)
- Sahlihadmic (A player way below Juve standard even as a utility man)
- Cannavaro (A legend that is way past his prime)
- Amauri (A workhorse of a striker, but surprisingly lacks the ability to hold up the ball well, contributed to a host of lost ball possessions)
- Trezeguet (Not a player he used to be.. and at the age of 32... his time at Juve is over...)

We should not be renewing the loans of:

- Candreva (Played with alot of passion and determination, but is an average player at best)
- Cacereas (Played with alot of passion and determination as well, but woeful defensively, does not offer great option going forward, injury prone)

Board of directors to be axed:

- Lapo Elkan
- Jean Claude Blanc
- Alessio Secco

Staff to be axed:

- Alberto Zaccheroni (An average manager at best. A sole Serie A title is the only highlight of his career...)
- Medical team
- Some of the scouts

Juventus Call Emergency Board Meeting As Frustration Grows - Report
Bianconeri chiefs are concerned with the growing trend of negativity at Vinovo...

Juventus have taken the unusual step of calling an emergency meeting in an attempt to salvage what is left of this season, and plan ahead for the next campaign.

Tuttosport and Sky Sport Italia claim president Jean-Claude Blanc gathered the board of directors at the club's headquarters in Turin to discuss measures in relation to the future of the team and coach Alberto Zaccheroni.

The high-powered reunion lasted over two hours and the agenda focused on strategies to remedy the team's recent malaise.

Juve's failures across the Calcio spectrum have not impressed those sitting at the top of the tree, and they want a quick turnaround.

No major decisions were taken in terms of restructuring on a football level, but concerns over recent performances were considered.

Chiefs also spoke about the club's new main shirt sponsor, which is yet to be announced, and marketing strategies for the future.

Meanwhile, the team trained at Vinovo ahead of the clash with Napoli on Thursday. Alessandro Del Piero is set to miss the trip south with an ankle problem. Giorgio Chiellini returns in defence.

Some spot on opinion from a fellow Juve fan:

What happened to the '5 year plan' of developing youth combined with having a strong mix of experience when we went down to Serie B? Nothing has worked out, they sold a lot of youth, they blew money on Tiago and Almiron (Deschamps wanted Ribery instead) and other flops, they brought in poor managers and try to do everything on the cheap. They have made the club go backwards in the last 2 years. Directors are supposed to guide the club to greatness, not demise, they shouldn't have that title....

If Juve are officially cleared of the match fixing scandals.. We as Juve fans need to help to disseminate the information. Let it be know through forums... Websites comments... football discussion channels you can find.

Stripping of two titles were shameful enough.. but the relegation is the most damaging to the club's finances, footballing terms and reputation.. Those who done this must pay to the maximum.

I like your optimism.. Let them return us the two titles! Then 1 more win will get us the 3 stars

But it is really depressing to see that the team is at this current state. Kena pelted with insults and now eggs... The management is the one who should go.. who should be pelted...

Juve clear out:

- Antonio Chimenti
- Hasan Salihamidzic
- Fabio Cannavaro
- Zdenek Gyrgera
- Jonathan Zebina
- Paolo De Ceglie
- Tiago Mendes
- Sergio Almiron
- Christian Poulsen
- Amauri
- David Trezeguet

I would love to have former Bayern Munich manager Felix Magath (Won the German Budesliga with unfancied WFL Wolsburg and now leading Schalke 04 to the brink of another title) as our boss next season. Massimilano Allegri is still an unknown quantity. 2 times Serie A manager of the year he maybe, but he is still unproven at a top club.

Surprisingly it is true..

And the defeat to Inter really sums up our season. It is a season to forget. But there are serious repercussions if we cant get into the CL (eventhough I admit we dont really deserve it based on the performances so far)..

Failure to qualify for the CL will hurt us financially, top players and manager will be even harder to obtain. With our already tarnished reputation... I do hope that the Calciopoli can come to light and that Juve will be cleared of wrong doings.. I hope that there will be a day when the term: "Juve-cheaters" will no longer be heard again

Haiz.. What to do.. With targetmen, a playmaker like diego should not have been bought in the first place. A 4-4-2 with Iaquinta and Amauri partnership with wingers whipping in crosses makes more sense...

With a playmaker, we need strikers with mobility and pace to latch onto Diego's through balls. Targetmen are too static.. Diego struggled with no movement upfront to thread through balls to...

The management just buy the players without thinking on whether they will fit into our tactical system...

Yeah... A string of disastrous signings...

This thread got Juve fans outing before?

Yeah.. I noticed too.. Our thread pages is even lesser than ROMA..

I wonder is it becoz of the Calciopoli that Juve are less supported now

Oooo... Yeah.. with our shity form.. I guess most cant be bothered..

Sigh... 4 games to go.., 6 points off 4th place... The club is so full of uncertainties..

It is not about the quantity of the fans, but the quality..

Most EPL fanboys know nuts about football except the English Premier League, and the players whom played there. Heck, most of them either start watching the league starting from 1996 (Man Utd complete dominance years), or during the Mourinho's Chelsea revolution in 2005. What is the point of having a truck load of these type of fans? Some so called Man Utd fans dont even know their club's former legends and icons for eg.. Bobby Charlton.

Hello peeps. Juve supporter signing in. I participated in this thread awhile ago, but everyone as well as me grew cold with the lack of participation... Hopefully the new thread will be better, looking forward to it.
