Johanna, I agree, they deserve a clean slate, although just cos they served their punishment it doesn’t help heal the wounds tho. Same can be said for my Milan I guess

Now now, Juve have paid their debt to society as it where. They may be the embodiment of icky, but they deserve a clean slate.

And yes, Ibra is nice. I hope we keep him for a while.

Juve is classless and corrupt. Still, I must thank them for Ibra

lets not forget Juve were doping when Zidane was there. Thats how they found out about the matchfixing. They were tapping Juve to build evidence against them in the doping case and heard them “match influencing”

The doc at the club took the fall and said no one else knew he was doping the players, yeh right!

why talk about lippi/moggi when we can watch this about aguero to inter instead?

Moggi was at Juve from 1994 until 2006. That is all the information *I need* to base suspicion.

There is evidence of inappropriate referee contact in 2005. I believe that I have a reasonable case for suspicion in his actions before 2005. Not that the FIGC would ever look into it. They took enough of a beating for just the 2005, 2006 seasons.

Do I have evidence? No. But I have a better basis of suspicion regarding a convicted felon fixing matches than blaming a team with not a wiff of inappropriate behavior in 100 years?

Yeah, I think Moggi’s actions, Calciopoli and Lippi getting the hell out of dodge at *just* the right moment is plenty for suspicion, in my opinion.

Like the 1997 season for example, in which Juve would win the Scudetto 4 points ahead of Inter. Including this game – a pivotal matchup in April:

Re: Lippi

First, none of his titles were ever threatened by Calciopoli, so if you accuse him of cheating to win the Scudetto, you’ve got the same evidence Romanistas do against MancInter 2007-2008.

About the amount of teams he’s coached? That’s not really a fair comparison, because all but 2 of those teams are “small” teams. I don’t care how good of a coach you are, you’re not winning the Scudetto with Atalanta, Lucchese, or Siena. He’s only really coached 3 big teams- Juventus (with a massive degree of success), Inter, and Italy. I think his failure at Inter was probably due to Moratti’s galacticos era signing the wrong players.

The over/under question I posed wasn’t necessarily based on what Moratti may or may not do. I do think Mourinho has a lot to prove.

Albeit, that was a goal.com article, I would hate to see Crespo at Roma. I have always liked his ability and thought he was a great player. I was in awe the 1st time I saw him play live as he netted two beautiful goals. He deserves to be somewhere better. I am sure he wants to play, but send him to Samp or Lazio. I would love to see him net a few more before he goes, just not for Roma. I don’t even think he would be a good fit for them.
