    I know it isn't completely out of the blue, but for this stateside Viola fan it sure feels like it. This could be very, very bad for us. To be honest it feels like we're being manipulated by the DVs to get what they want from the city. In one sense I want them to stay because this has been such a successful, stable period. On the other hand they've shown thus kind of petulance before, just a few months ago.

    It's the unknown, the potential Cecchi Goris of the world, that scare me.

    Imminente l'annuncio dell'abbandono della società viola: alla base della rottura la vicenda-Prandelli. Dopo aver visto che la piazza è solo dalla parte del tecnico, i padroni hanno deciso di uscire con tempi velocissimi dal mondo del calcio, da cui sono stati delusi negli ultimi tempi. La città è in subbuglio

    do you know what that far poster says? i can't read it.

    I hope this doesn't lead to a complete club meltdown where everyone leaves and we get relegated. But I guess thats worst case.

    I'm confused on this whole deal. Is DDV the 'owner' or is ADV too? But didn't he leave last year? Is DDV looking for buyers of the club? Like, he sells everything and leaves and we could be bought by some dude with no money who runs us into the ground. AHHHHHHH this sucks.

    What I'm confused about is ADV, who stepped down late last year after something similar, is still to be involved with the club and so I assume the DV's are continuing to invest.

    What exactly is going on?

    It says "Della Valle presidente uniti dallo stesso amore."

    I guess ADV will still be active in the ownership? I dunno. I haven't had time to really think about the translation of this yet.

    "Scrivo a tutti quelli che vogliono bene alla Fiorentina per comunicare che da oggi non sarò più il Patron della Società. La sottile strumentalizzazione che in questo periodo qualcuno ha tentato di fare nei confronti della Società, contrapponendola ai suoi tifosi, ha superato ogni livello di tollerabilità e qualunque cambiamento di comportamento per il futuro non ne modificherebbe comunque la gravità. Vedere la Società messa da molti sul banco degli imputati senza aver commesso nulla se non difendere con forza i valori e la dignità della maglia viola non è per me accettabile e soprattutto non è giusto. Ai tifosi veri dico di tenere gli occhi aperti e di non farsi usare da chi vuole destabilizzare i rapporti tra la società e i suoi sostenitori; state vicini a questa dirigenza che ha dato e darà il massimo per cercare di farvi sognare ancora di più, e fate in modo che mio fratello Andrea rimanga vicino alla Società con tutta la passione che ha e che ha sempre dimostrato. Pochi come lui sanno dosare cuore e capacità gestionali necessarie per guidare una Società di calcio importante come la Fiorentina. Voi tutti, tifosi veri, continuate a sostenere questi ragazzi che vanno in campo perché sono un gruppo fantastico e generoso e difendete sempre e solo i valori della maglia viola”. Diego Della Valle

    I've been watching ADV's presser the last 20 minutes and I get the feeling he's gonna sell the team.

    Mario Cognigni is our new club President.

    From ADV's presser...

    I'm about to run out the door for work but there's a lot of good stuff in here on Montolivo, making a pact with the fans (and if the fans don't want him, he'll sell) the new mini-sports complex, etc...

    I cannot see the Della Valles still owning the club this time next year. Only reason they would is if notorious Italian red-tape slows down a sale.

    They are doing a very good thing there.

    I think the DV brothers are good people but, let's face it, they're effeminate Milanese fashion guys and I think they feel a bit hurt by some of the turmoil at the club. Especially after all of the money they have put into Fiorentina I really think they assumed that they would be loved forever and they would have sorta an endless honeymoon experience.

    A lot of supporter groups have been coming out in favor of the Della Valles all day. All right. Let's sell some tickets.

    I know that il Duomo has cracks in it, and don't get me wrong I think it's great what they are doing for the Coliseum, but they could have won over the hearts of the Florentine people for good by paying for the restoration of il Duomo. But hats off to them for stepping up to preserve some of the best culture in history.
