Juventus sporting director seriously ill

Juventus sporting director is seriously ill after falling from a window at the team head quarters. But was it really a fall or did he jump? Maybe he was pushed? Maybe the mafia was out to get him.

Full story on the BBC

Probably offside.

This is why we need video replays!

Clearly a dive.

Like the bloke found hanging under a bridge in London after getting caught up in his shoelaces...

Nah. Not the Mafia. They are getting well sloppy in their methods. A fully functional Mafia would have not allowed any of this match fixing stuff to surface and any possible informants would have been dealt with accordingly.

How I long to return to the days of good old family values

Was that covered in the sponsership deal ?

suicide attempt ... you know, scandals, all the usual stuff.

Roberto Calvi? Nah! This has all the hallmarks of a self-defenistration. I reckon it says Juve are guilty up to their eyebrows in the match-fixing scandal. No smoke without fire and all that.

Incidentally, me unc. Gerry helped Thames Division cut Calvi down. Blackfriars was a bit too high for them to reach off a Police launch, so they got the nearest pleasure boat instead and stood on the solid awning.

EDIT: That self-defenistration bit just made me think of Dario Fo's Accidental Death of an Anarchist. Brilliantly funny if you ever get the chance to see it on stage.

he wasn't implicated in the match-fixing scandals, according to all the reports i've read
he'd been suffering from depression according to his wife
poor guy

there but for the grace and all that...

i wonder why...

The Sporting Director not implicated? Bit funny that.

he only took the job in May, so he's only been doing less than 2 months

still, i'm sure everybody on this board has access to more evidence than the tribunal that's looking into the whole affair - bound to be guilty as (not) charged, innit

Or a defensteration.

OMG! I made a spellin' mistake. Where's the nearest windo...AAAAaaaaaaaaa

I feel your pane.

Absolutely shattering!

That is transparently obvious.

Steady on chaps. He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.

Smashin'!

and today we're going to go through the round window . . .
