Why Juventus are in crisis

In November 2022, Andrea Agnelli, the Chairman of Juventus, and the rest of the board announced they were resigning. Agnelli had been the Chairman for 12 years. They had decided to leave following an investigation into Juventus’ finances.

Why were Juventus’ finances being investigated? What did the investigators find? Why did it cause the board to resign? What happens to Juventus now?

James Horncastle explains. Philippe Fenner illustrates.

UEFA are good at banning smaller clubs from Uefa competitions for corrupt accounting but when it comes to Barcelona, Juventus, PSG and Man City they apply different rules .

[ESCtdyerwestfield]

Signing Higuain and Ronaldo for a combined £185m can't have helped matters, and the swap with Arthur and Pjanic could well be the dodgiest high profile transfer of all time as it was clearly a act of balancing the books and purely for financial reasons at a hugely inflated price.

[aaronmalpica]

If Barcelona was one half of a suspicious transfer, should Spanish prosecutors investigate them as well?

[vecterpls]

Can Italy go a world cup without being a football scandal? I mean they weren't even at Qatar and they STILL made headlines with this

[quituccio]

First of all, as an Italian, i want to express my congratulations for how complete and flawless this video is. Secondly, I hope that these disgraceful people, if proven guilty, finally pay for their crimes..

[PhilliesNostalgia]

Aaaand they got docked 15 points for this. Ouch. They may not even get a Europa League qualification. Yikes

[Chris-ozqx]

It's not a coincidence that the only 3 clubs holding out for the super league are the massively in debt Barca and Juve as well as Real Madrid.

[adamu]

It's not 100% accurate about Transfermarkt. The conslusion was, there is no way to establish a 'real' player value. The only real value is the one two clubs managed to agree on, so even Pjanić's transfer is 100% legal.

[Jamie-yefu]

Can't believe prosecutors used transfermarkt 😂 – A website that's discouraged from being used as a source on wikipedia ffs.

[oldskoolmusicnostalgia]

A very shallow crisis then, compared to 2006. It's extremely unlikely there will be any sporting sanctions, people need to make a distinction between their fantasies and the legal reality... Anyway, Agnelli leaving is a good thing given how rotten his leadership had become. He managed to destroy his legacy in just 4-5 years.

[mikeisthelunawolf]

Can you do this about Porto and Benfica and their legal cases in the last 30 years, please?

[WilliFR]

it is incredible how every day the Italians anti-Juve, invent an excuse to harm and stain the name of Juventus without realizing that they are also damaging their own league that is already in decline.

[cricket_football]

15 point deduction, no CL football next season as well

[robintaberner]

‘Juventus suffered their biggest crisis since………. ‘ how often do we hear that?

[yashtalaulikar]

Whose here after juve got a 15 pt deduction in the serie a

[HC-knsq]

I love how the punishment for most financial issues is for the guilty party to pay fines.

[eskeeeet]

Annoying how such serious investigations only happen in Italy.

[marwenb]

what i understood is juventus will be penalised for delaying the payment of their players during covid.
But because they're the only team on stock excange they did something wrong comared to other teams who did the same thing. this is a huge blunder from the people who run the finances at juve and it's them who should pay for it.
another thing i got from the comments is that successful clubs get more hate like juve real, madrid, bayern, psg etc...

[RakanRabih]

- there is no rule for “ prices on players” (Capital gain BS)
-Everyone makes capital gains
- Turin prosecutor who investigated PRISMA was found incompetent to investigate and the ordinary justice case was to move to Rome.
- salary maneuvers were made during COVID in good faith. ( situation never experienced before/pandemic)
The fuss behind all of this was the Super League
Oh P.S
A leaked video of the turin prosecutor clown who started this investigation was saying “ As a prosecutor i hate Juventus” (you can find it on YT .. his name is Santoriello.
-Consob never reported false accounting unlike The prosecutors.

Easy to build attacks when you only read 1 side of the story.

[jdamourep]

Favorite team still getting into bullcrap, and still not doing all that well. Italy hasnt even made it to the world cup almost a decade.
