Has there ever been a more corrupt club than Juventus ?

[Sharpies volley]

False accounting, had their offices raided for a second time this week and there are calls for them to be relegated and have their title taken away

Oh! Off the pitch. Was gonna say there's a club not to far away from us who've had some dodgy goings on, on the pitch since the 60,s I can think of.

Exactly , was mentioned earlier on and there are other clubs that are yet to be found out on financial dodginess too who will have their top legal eagles getting them a slap on the wrist when judgement is made. I mean, Newcastle, Villa, West Ham and the like are also on my suspicious list, not just the 'big boys'.

are we on it?

Corruption?!

In Italian football?!?!

Heavens, I might need to sit down from the shock of it!!!!

At least Italian football holds investigations and their clubs are genuinely worried about getting caught, English football hasn't had so much of a glance, man u and liverpool tried to ruin the game they bullied man city arsenal Chelsea Tottenham to back them no investigations no questions asked they dont care about getting caught they know its bent in their favour.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Think the title should be are Juve the worst cheats ever. They seem to get caught ever few years for something dodgy, should hire better lawyers like the other big clubs do to make sure mistakes aren't made.

AC Milan bought the referee in 1973 Cup Winners Cup final. Many Italian teams through 60s to 80s in European Competitions were guilty of similar practices . Anderlecht cheated Forest. I think the extensive TV coverage has hopefully eliminated so called dodgy refereeing.

Marseille had a title taken away because of a bribery scandal, I’m sure that if that was nowadays, any big CL club would likely just get a slap on the wrist.

I can think of one we share the city withlollollol

They seem to be the absolute undisputed kings of corruption in world football, no one else seems to even come close to them.

My Lawyer advised me not to comment

We were done over against AC Milan by an East German ref

 

[The Celtic View]

What about Rangers? They had their players on secret side contracts for years that were against football rules, yet weren't even deducted a single point for it.

The club went out of business and a new club, The Rangers FC, was formed in 2012. A backroom deal was done agreeing to allow the new club to assume the identity of Rangers 1872-2012 if they paid the old clubs footballing debts.

Whether you agree or not, in comparison to Juventus, Rangers are saints.

No team has done more in the last 25 years to derail football that Juventus.

Still think the callous spending of the early noughties crippled Rangers. Tore Andre Flo £40k for a player hugely in decline. De Boer, Kanchelskis etc… it was insane money.

Juventus in comparison have cheated in the 2000s and had Scudettos’ stripped, had multiple players banned for PEDs, lead force behind the Breakaway League, recent been raided for illegal activity again.

They’re just run by crooks.

Juventus are vermin and I would agree they're the worst club, that I know of, in world football, but Rangers had players on secret side contracts that were against football rules and the whitewash 'inquiry' simply relied on the SFA's Sandy Bryson's bizarre interpretation of the rules that the authorities didn't know about the cheating at the time, and there was no mechanism to punish clubs retrospectively!

At least Juventus were stripped of titles. Rangers weren't even docked a single point for years and years of blatant cheating. They claimed players like the ones you mentioned were only on two grand, or so, a week and received interest free loans of millions of pounds a year that were definitely not salaries! As I said, this also went well into the 2000's. They also had an anti-Catholic employment policy for 50-70 years.

David Murray's insane spending did eventually destroy Rangers, but again our authorities ignored all previous rules regarding clubs who go out of business and start up again, and allowed the new club to assume the identity of Rangers 1872-2012. Admittedly this would have been done with the approval of all the SPL clubs, including Celtic!
