Lozano was a good guess, but I must admit I never thought he could be this bad, I just do not understand why he is performing like he has never seen a football in his life
Atletico got lemon (Simeone) so they kept making lemonade. We had lemon too (Sarri) but we chose to throw away the lemon and give the fans CoronaWater instead. Sarri was the foundation for success on the sporting front, now we don't even have that. Let me ask people a question? In this situation, what could ADL have done differently? He chose Ancelotti and invested a good amount of money on him but that leaves us with what? I think the man is out of options and the best thing he can do with the club is to sell. I don't see what ADL can do to turn this around(Other than bringing Sarri back).
We simply don't know. I think he has shown he cares by spending to patch the squad in a winter window. Does he actually have the money?
But the stadium is a pain in the ass, not just for us. The city council is to blame for a good portion of it. I don't really blame DL for hiring Ancelotti, as even a blind man can see the good intentions behind it, but it simply did not work. Maybe we would have screwed up with Sarri as well, these things are guesswork, but I guess the fans need to do sth...
Thankfully ADL also owns Bari, unfortunately I can't see him selling Napoli and focusing on Bari until they've at least made it to Serie B. I hope his plan is to sell Napoli and bring Bari back to Serie A. He can do great things for them and keep them as Serie A regulars. He can't bring us to regularly compete for the scudetto. It makes perfect sense for him to sell Napoli when Bari is in a good position to come back to Serie A.
He does not care long term. But Napoli is worth jack shit without CL and fans not showing up. Pappone is just panicking.
Stadium is difficult. But ADL does not even try. Other clubs have plans. Our old sporting director said that ADL never wanted to even look at plans because he was not interested. Ancelotti is not suited for Serie A and many of us called it. He is not tactical. He has one Serie A title with Juve and the best Milan team of all times.

I share your thoughts, but I do not necessarily subjugate my judgment to their will, as I have learned in life that things are often rather more complicated than less, though sts they appear to be complex yet are actually very simple and straightforward. On top of that, aside from investigative journalism, we cannot rely on everything we read; therefore, we are doomed to eternal conjecture and guesswork, unless we possess the means to penetrate deeper. I have seen only one team competing for the title regularly these years, only one team going anywhere near anything that can even be called competing for the title. Can you guess this one? Which one do I mean? From my point of view, taking into account the obvious fact which I have just stated, and lacking any and all reasonable sources of evidence or even real data provided for analysis, I do not want to dismiss our owner who had/has done quite a lot as soon as there is a little storm on the horizon. If I had been given a certainty as to the success of some new owners, all of whom had not come even close to what we had done, I would have easily agreed with you and opted for a change in ownership, but I just don't see it in pink colors; the gaiety that you seem to expect with ownership change simply has not yet knocked on my door. I just don't get it, nobody has really competed with Juve regularly except for us, for years... Even the traitor Sarri has enough brains to objectively praise DL for pulling him up, notwithstanding all the nasty words the president has said before, after his own manner... Who can? So far, whether you like to admit it or not, DL has been the closest to any such idea. So who should we adopt? On top of this fact, DL can't hold a poker face when we score a goal or win a game, he's there in the stands being happy. Let's sell to some Chinese half-bankrupt bastard, contract an intimacy with the Corona virus, and end up like AC Milan. This changing the ownership of the club and winning for years is not as easy as it seems. I will commend you if that's how it is and if that's what we need. But I just don't see the signs right now. We've had a satisfactory run, indeed, considering our circumstances. Indeed, we had kind of refused to stay in our place before this episode came, while all the others had!
If Bari were to eventually make it back to Serie A, he'd have to sell 1 of the 2 teams. By selling Napoli he can invest enough in Bari to keep them as regulars in Serie A and make the fans of Bari extremely happy
Insigne/Younes-Mertens/Milik/Llorente-Politano/Callejon/Lozano Zielinski/Elmas-Demme/Lobotka-Allan/Fabian Rui/Ghoulam-Koulibaly/Luperto-Manolas/Maks-DiLorenzo/Hysaj/Malcuit Meret/Ospina/Karnezis Next Year Insigne/Lozano-Mertens/Petagna/Milik-Politano/Lozano Zielinski/Elmas-Demme/Lobotka-NEW/NEW NEW/Rui-RRAHMANI/Maks-Manolas/KUMBULLA-DiLorenzo/Hysaj Meret/Ospina/Karnezis
Orsolini will be taken by Juve to reinforce their sitters, I am certain of that. I also like Musa Barrow, he seems to be quite skilled with the ball, but even more importantly, he seems to know when to play individually and when not to, which is a very valuable skill, added to his individual prowess.
We need multiple players. I hope if Fabian and Allan go that we get a top striker (then I don’t mind Mertens going), at too left back and midfielder.
Lmfao ADL won't buy any top players, more Petagna and Politano type signings are what our future holds.
Next season: Insigne/Younes - NEW/Petagna - Politano/NEW Fabian/Zielinski - Demme/Lobotka - NEW/Elmas NEW/Rui - Rrahmani/Maksimovic - Maonlas/NEW - DiLorenzo/Hysaj Meret/Karnezis We can sell Koulibaly 80M, Allan 40M, Lozano 25M, Milik 25M, Ounas 10M and make 180M.
Fabian is likely leaving as well. If he starts for Spain in Euros (which he used to) and they make it far, he'll be Barcelona or Real bound...
Fabian needs to do more. He hasn't been quite as good as he had been before lately, so I expect him to step it up. Lately my best memories of him are clumsiness in general and shots into defenders, maybe powerful, but that's even worse when you just make it ricochet off the man in front of you...
Insigne/Younes - NEW/Petagna - Politano/NEW Zielinski/Elmas - Demme/Lobotka - NEW/NEW NEW/Rui - Rrahmani/Maksimovic - Maonlas/NEW - DiLorenzo/Hysaj Meret/Karnezis Koulibaly 80M, Fabian 70M, Allan 40M, Lozano 30M, Milik 25M, Ounas 10M and make 255M. Add to that, that Ospina and Callejon will be off the books too. We have a lot to spend. A top striker, midfielder and left back would be great. Maybe add Boga and Kumbulla too.
