To those unhappy with the video, I'll repost a previous response for clarity.

I appreciate the passion of your response, and you clearly adore Juventus in a very special way.

Covering a topic like this, with such sensitivity, is never easy. It promotes a variety of differing opinions, as I believe the comments proves. My remit was very clear and defined, and I made sure to run it by a prominent Juve fan I respected to be sure of them. Unfortunately, when it comes to including all of your other suggestions it just becomes impossible.

I had a very specific brief and I adhered to that brief. I think even you can see a lot of your suggestions pertain to opinion, or speculation, which in a video like this would be unfair, both to Juve fans and non-Juve fans eager to learn more about the situation.

I can accept some poor wording may have mislead you here, and for that I apologise. I'm always trying to get better. However, I also firmly believe this video will have sparked curiosity in a lot of people and likely sent them on a journey to read about some of the theories you outlined here. In that regard, I feel this was a success, and although you may dislike me right now, I hope at least you can respect the answer I'm giving you.

Thanks

Kris

i remember when that happened. it was a surreal experience. Italian football was the top league for decades, and this scandal was its suicide.

AC Milan were initially removed from the upcoming Champions League campaign, but were re-instated after an appeal. They went on to win the Champions League that same season, beating Liverpool 2-1 in the 06/07 final.

it's mad that when all of this was happening Italy won the world cup. the lowest and highest moment of Italian football happening so quickly

[TurboxRicksta]

Playing two games behind closed doors don't sound so bad in 2020

Italian football: incredibly gifted players, unbelievably crooked management.

[urorazbojnik]

Old women want to read about all scandals no matter what it is lol

[bigdaddy]

A very similar case is going on in portugal right now, except no one as been arrested or punished or even found guilty nor will they, because the corruption goes higher than football
Would love a video about that !

Some players like Buffon stayed with Juve, good for him.

3:18 - "Exodius of players"... Yugi Moto must be informed.

[alessiobianco]

This is one of the reasons Juventus is so hated in Italy

[lorenzoditommaso]

I love Reading butthurt comments of juventus' fan in the morning. I hope that thanks to this video also people from foreign country will understand who juve really is.

"I miss my soul" what a quote lol

Could you do a Brief history of the rise and fall of Sheffield Wednesday? From the Boxing Day massacre to the highs of the 3rd place top flight finish and the league cup win. To falling to the third tier in the mid to late 2000s. I think it would be really interesting

Don't see how anyone could dislike one of your videos

[kiwikicker]

Juventus mentality: "Oh crap we got caught." points finger straight at Moratti, "it was all his fault!!!"

[alessandromalinverno]

the c word that all juve fans hate. Its the best way for them to stop bragging.

"And now I've collected all four teams of corruption, allowing me to summon the legendary Exodias of players!"

[RiskuBusiness]

Loving the butthurt in the comments. It means you made a good video.

people forget, the leaks from TIM, the first newspaper that published about calciopoli, the only team that was exempted from punishment, the only team that didn't get punished about EU passports. Inter Milan, there was atleast one board member in every step, every company that exposed the scam in the first place, they played chess and got away with absolute robbery in the long run
