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

Today juve have 75 points and gonna win another title. Just goes to show cheating is way more hassle than it's worth and not needed.

Risk says:

I am a Juve fan. I loved the team for the players and the managers that represented the club with passion, not the personalities like Moggi. I still am a proud Juventus fan, after the relegation we started from the bottom and now we are on the top for 7 years and we are the ones keeping Italian football on the european map of football. Italian football will be on top as I see other Italian clubs getting better and better.

Praveer Jain says:

And then people ask why there are empty stadiums in serie A

Rulinator says:

"exodius of players". Exodus, mate. Exodus.

warren Ledgard says:

Milan and juve both robbed Leeds and derby in the 70s.
No doubt there has been some great Italian sides, unbelievable players in the league but it's a league of cheats and always has been

warren Ledgard says:

Not exactly the first time these two clubs were involved in this type of skulduggery

FrakintheboX says:

Pathetic how the cheaters try to pin blame on victim clubs. Inter cheated? There's no evidence. What's clear as day is that Juve and Milan were the proven cheaters. Misery wants company and it's pathetic.

The lesson? Don't cheat.

DarKzz Widow says:

I hate Italian football fans.
They are full of racists.

Boominaughty says:

The team that has won 8 straight scudettos is also known to be the biggest cheaters in club football lmfaooo. The state of this shit league. Inter napoli eliminated in ucl groups, ac milan eliminated in europa group, juventus and Lazio soon to be eliminated by Atletico and Sevilla. Italian football is boring and the best players all play in Spain or England. Tough

Lumpy Bisquick says:

Inter Roma and Napoli only Teams i Respect ✊ ?▪️?▪️

Huipo says:

This scandal embarrasses my club Lazio

Dmitry Shepel says:

I remember in my childhood I watched Seria A and always knew that it was something between the referees and Juventus 🙂

MrTechGamer2000 says:

Love how there is no mention of Inter…..

Adam Tate says:

It sparked an Exodus of players, not an exodius, that's a Yu-Gi-Oh card
