A nightmare is a form of dream, I suppose.

QUOTE Baggio: 'FIGC project a failure' By Football Italia staff Roberto Baggio has angrily terminated his job with the FIGC. “I am leaving because they haven’t allowed me to work.” The Divine Ponytail was brought in after the 2010 World Cup as part of a renewal process and given the role of President of the Technical Sector. He was meant to help revamp the youth team process to create more home-grown talent. “I am leaving because they haven’t allowed me to work,” slammed Baggio on the TG1. “I don’t care about keeping seats of power. I tried to perform the role that had been given to me, to renew the foundations of football training from children to teenagers in order to grow good players. “I was not allowed to do this and am no longer prepared to carry on. I presented my project in December 2011. It was a 900-page plan and remained a dead letter. “As President of the Technical Sector, I had no right to vote in the Federation meetings and there was no point going to meetings that had nothing to do with my work. “For example, when I presented this plan I spent five hours waiting outside to then have a 15-minute presentation. “The FIGC had set aside €10m for this project and I am grateful to President Giancarlo Abete for what he has done, but so far I have not received any funds to proceed. It all remained on paper. “This is why I must sadly say goodbye. Is it definitive? I love football and my country, so I remain ready for any interesting proposal.” Italian football is sick and beyond saving. |

Beyond saving? Hmh, yes it has grave problems but I think we shouldn't give up yet.

Come on, it's a matter of time before Serie A loses it's 3rd CL spot as well.

QUOTE (Zed.D @ Jan 24 2013, 05:52 PM)  Come on, it's a matter of time before Serie A loses it's 3rd CL spot as well. Yup. There's no money, old and empty stadiums that clubs do not own, no big names in the league any longer (the remaining ones that were Thiago, Ibra and Sneijder all left), no project for the future. It's just sad, really. |

Hmh, interesting. But even so, SES and Pazzo play totally individualistic. There's no chemistry, no real relationship between the two.

Cavani > any partnership on that list combined. Hope he stays in Italy for a long time.

QUOTE (Zed.D @ Jan 24 2013, 06:52 PM) Come on, it's a matter of time before Serie A loses it's 3rd CL spot as well. Seems like it is the inevitable .. Germany has a better football environment all-around, something that rivals the PL if you ask me. It is all tied down to FIGC's ability to improve the football environment in Italy, coupled with the Municipalities privitizing the stadiums. Not much holding the football in Italy back, except the Government itself which can not afford to let go of these income generating stadiums for its current fiscal state plus the bureaucracy. Inevitable. |

Only City and PSG spring to mind, maybe Real, but I don't think he'll want to go to PSG. So either England or Spain. I think De Laurentis already said something along the lines of how it will be very difficuilt to hold onto him for another season.

Inevitable. But isn't teams leaving the stadiums and doing what Juve did ultimately worse than just selling them? At least if they're not getting the rent income from the clubs they'll make the money from the sales of the stadiums. I know Juve built over the Delle Alpi, but I don't know how that got worked out with the city. Did they just pay for the land? |

With the forwards they have, I just don't see him going to City. Even if they did sell Balotelli, I don't know you can really have 4 elite strikers. I hear that both Argentina and Uruguay are like the 'Italy of South America' so maybe he feels somewhat at home in Seire A and hopefully he stays. |

Don't know why Juve are bringing Anelka of all people. He can barely score in the Chinese league these days.
