What On Earth Is Going On At Juventus?

  • Juventus are the biggest, richest, and most successful club in Italian football, yet they’re currently 10th in Serie A, having just been deducted 15 points by the FIGC - Italy’s Football Federation.
    It’s the latest in a series of setbacks for Juventus and Serie A, and it comes less than 17 years after the club was relegated to Serie B in the aftermath of the Calciopoli scandal.
    So in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at the current crisis at Juventus, how we got to this point, and why this can’t possibly be the end of it all.

    The first Italian club to ever build and own its own stadium wasn't Juventus but Reggiana in 1995 (Juventus came second many years later, so this still shows how big of an achievement that was for Juventus). Unfortunately, Reggiana went bankrupt a few years after building its stadium in a very Italian fashion. Reggiana's stadium was then bought by Sassuolo's owner company Mapei (hence, that's why it's now called Mapei Stadium) in 2013 at a bankruptcy auction, so it went back to being one of the very few privately owned stadiums in Italy.

    It's a shame because Serie A has actually been improving a lot in recent seasons. The league has become one of the most exciting and competitive to watch in Europe, with the style of play moving from a very defensive style to a fast counter attacking style, Serie A outscored the Prem in the last 3 seasons. I think the improvement of the Milan clubs, Napoli & Atalanta through smart scouting has also been important in ending Juventus' hegemony over league. Whilst Juventus crashed out of the Champions League, it's important to note that 3 Italian teams are in the Champions League knockouts this season with very favourable draws, it wouldn't be outside the realms of possibility to see one of them in Semis. Also i'm a bit unsure if Napoli will be picked apart, they're a far bigger club than Lille & Monaco, it's why Koulibaly took about 6 seasons to actually move, Kvara and Osimhen would probably command fees in excess of a £100 million too.

Inter are surprisingly strong in single matches so I think they'll beat Porto over two legs, though I don't know how far they can go. I think Napoli are the most well-prepared to do a deep run in UCL out of the three remaining Serie A teams, perhaps we could do something like Ajax in 2018/19 or Villarreal last season.

Eventhough Juventus has been quite desparate to win the champions league, I still would think that the interest to keep up with the top of europe, financially, was the number one concern and reason as to why they spent so much money and made all this shady business. As a german, Borussia Dortmund's transfer strategy is a very fitting example for me as to how far the PL has risen above any other league in terms of money. Since the value for german players doesn't seem to inflate all that much and frankly brilliant players moving to teams for ridiculously small fees compared to PL fees, the strategy to sign english youngsters hoping for them to improve quick enough to later sell them specifically to the PL for a load of cash seems like the only way to survive in the current state of football. Especially with the new and even richer owners in the PL, the only way for clubs from other top leagues to further compete at the top of the game is to do business with the PL to get a slice of the bigger english cake compared with the small domestic cake (if that makes sense)

    On the probability of Napoli’s squad being picked apart at the end of the season:
    While it’s obviously possible, it’s something that has been predicted every year for at least a decade at this point, and barring a few untimely departures in the first half of the last decade it never came close to happening.
    Because of how most of the bigger (and similar) Italian teams are run, people expect Napoli to always be close to insolvency, but the truth is that it’s a surprisingly well run club when it comes to the financial side of things.

Yes Serie A is lot more competitive in the last 3 years but it can't compete with the Premier League in terms of marketing, advertising and financial revenue and 2, bar Juventus and Roma(albeit Roma won the inaugural Conference League) no other Serie A clubs has ever reached an European club final since Inter won the Champions League title in 2010.

Other than that, this was a very comprehensive rundown about the situation at Juventus. Obviously, as a rival supporter I am enjoying their downfall a lot - especially due to the sting of the Higuain deal and the 2017/18 season where we finished second with 91 points to Juve's 95, and I was at the stadium for our 5-1 blowout of them a couple weeks ago, but I am also concerned that this crisis could further set back Italian football as a whole behind the other leagues if the Italian FA doesn't take action and further publicize the league - which is something they are actually attempting to do somewhat, they've recently opened a base of operations in the USA and are allegedly in talks with JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs for billion-dollar investments into the league itself.

      Juve, didn't you watch the video. And again?! If you didn't know, the inflating players thing is something that Inter started in italy, and has done since like 2011. And other countries have done extensively, but yeah, juve right.... I mean the football judge that gave the 15pt punishment is openly a Juve hater and Milan or inter diehard, his wife celebrated and mocked Juve on insta the day Juve was docked 15pts, but Juve right....
      In 2006, and fact check me, the Italian federation demoted Juve but Lazio, ac Milan and others were involved, but Juve right? And years later when an actual justice department prosecutor investigated calciopoli, it turns out that none of the clubs were actually guilty of wrong doing, and the evidence showed that Inter Milan was the only one that deserved punishment, coincidentally Inter is the only club that WASNT punished. But FIGC didn't care anymore.
      Again fact check me, please! It's all true. But Juve right!?!?

It seems like u guys have the potential to be probably the 7th biggest league but yet haven't fully reached that. I am familiar with the fact that libertadores is usually dominated by a Brazilian team or either Boca Juniors or River Plate every year& that probably due to how little funding the rest of SA has. I would say although SA clubs are not as well known in the States as European ones (outside of probably Flamengo & Santos), there is still a significant amount of respect towards the Brazilian league due to the sheer amount of talent u guys produce.

    One thing which confuses many who followed this issue closely and which has angered Juventus fans for apparently being singled out for plusvalenze, (increased capital gains), is that unlike all other Italian clubs (bar Lazio), Juventus is a PLC and a such has to operate within more stringent financial rules. The argument that what Juventus did is done by all other clubs, (the "it takes two to tango" argument), is true, but the other clubs aren't PLC and that is why they get away with essentially the same practice. When two other clubs swap players, they can come with their value, which can be dreamed up so to speak. Juventus did that, but according to stock exchange rules, that is not allowed.

    Welcome to Italy, the land of the corrupt. A company with seemingly infinite money had taken hostage italian football for almost a decade, until they essentially shot themselves. TV deals make watching all serie a matches too expensive for the lower income fans, cutting them out of "the people's game" and forcing them to watch pirated streams (poorly, because italy's internet web is terrible in any city that is not a major one). Racism runs rampage, and it's almost completely unpunished. Refereeing is inconsistent at best, and suspect at worse. Lower league teams fight for every centesimo to survive, with the threat of bankruptcy (i think i've butchered that word, sorry), and with serie b and c full of phoenix clubs.
    If you're from abroad and you support juventus, please look past the on pitch results. It's the bane of italian football, it's supported by a ridiculous amount of racists (and takes no action to stop them), and allegedly gifts tickets to mafiosi.
