AGNELLI NOT PART OF IT CROWD

JUVENTUS chairman Andrea Agnelli has again tried to justify the Super League proposal by talking about football’s financial crisis. ‘It was not a coup but a desperate cry of alarm,’ he said. ‘Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid are determined to achieve a complete reform of the competitions.’ Just as the rest of us are determined to run Agnelli and his crummy power grab out of town. If he can’t make ends meet having been given the biggest club in Italy, maybe it is time he stood aside and let someone competent have a go.

Incidentally, there is a wonderful piece of footage doing the rounds of a gentleman from a British national newspaper on a Zoom conference with, among others, Agnelli. The journalist is having computer issues and mysteriously believes machines can be coerced by swearing at them. Unfortunately, this coincides with the host unmuting his microphone to ask Agnelli a question. So the Juve chairman appears and is told: ‘You f****** useless c***.’ Of course, we’ve all been there. Although my laptop works perfectly.
