To be frank, there's a little bit of covert racism in all this. Italian champions for however many years in a row, consistently in the latter stages of the CL, the biggest club in Italy and a global name, and with a coherent financial plan....but they must be at it, aren't they? Because you know, they're Italians and Italians are dodgy.
Maybe, just maybe, they know what they're doing?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it racist when Man City are called out for it?
Or when Chelsea receive a transfer ban?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Umm...what?
Man City and Chelsea - found to be operating outside of the rules.
Juve - have a business plan but English people think it's 'dodgy' because....umm....it just looks it?
Are we considering them to be equitable?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you considering the fact every poster on this thread has said Juve are likely acting within the rules before calling the thread racist?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apart from the OP, where the original comment was aimed.
Also, it is not because they are "Italian and Italians are dodgy". It is because they are Juventus and Juventus have been guilty of being "dodgy" more than once.

Golacs, they certainly know what they are doing,and they have been doing it for a long time !,ask any Italian and they will open your eyes maybe,and it's not racist at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is racist if you insinuate that only the Italians are at it, particularly if you're willing to turn a blind eye to the corruption at home.

Read the wild speculation which is based on who they are rather than what they are doing.
And if you base your decisions on who they are rather than what they are doing, then what does that make you?
I will reserve judgement until the resident JA606 accountants go through Juve's financials.
"To be frank, there's a little bit of covert racism in all this."
Maybe if you specifically directed the claim at the OP it would have been clearer.
Also, it isn't racist to single out a club. He didn't say all Italians are at it, wild as the accusations are.

Juve are a huge global brand themselves, to be honest they should be able to afford the best players.
the club arent up to their necks in debt which also means more money could be used for transfers.
also they do bring quite a few youngsters through
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I realize that. But the sponsorship deals surely aren't on our level. Their matchday revenue is nowhere near as big either. It can't be for reasons I gave above. And their TV deal is nothing like as good as ours.
It just looks a bit dodgy to me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They are in the CL every year as champions and generate 100s of millions there.

1. How can it be racism? Italians are not a race.
2. Wow, talk about taking something out of context.
As DJ just explained, its about Juve, who might be dodgy, because they have proven to be dodgy.
It is racist if you insinuate that only the Italians are at it, particularly if you're willing to turn a blind eye to the corruption at home.
....
It isn't racist in the slightest as being Italian is not a race. Being a Nationalist maybe. But it isn't racism.
