The *fudge* is that next to Juventus' name?

Where would we be without the marketing dept?

How many other ways can we screw money out of the fans.

I suspected they'd done something similar, but that's just...wrong. There is no connection to their famed history, no motif that represents the locality that they came from....There's just a nu-modern ultra-marketing inspired minimalistic f*cking 'J' that could easily belong to either Juve or the hipster-filled local nightclub - you truly have no way of knowing the difference anymore.
Goddamn, do I hate the b*stards in marketing who come up with stuff like this. Another great, historic club reduced to a Twitter hashtag existence because some f*cks decided to change something perfectly good and make it an utterly unremarkable piece of post-modern crap.

A) Who says I didn't fulminate vehemently when ours was changed as well? Believe me, I kicked up a fuss then too.
B) However, I didn't hate our new logo quite as much as I hate what Juve have done to their famous crest - because it has at least three elements that kept it roughly in line with our past logos. It has a rooster on a ball, it is navy blue and it has the club's name on it (on versions that aren't on the jerseys, anyway). Juve have *nothing* save for the black and white lettering and the name stuck inelegantly on the top of that stark, lifeless ultramodern 'J'. No animal prancing within a crest, no crown signifying their history...Just a f*cking J.
I know why they've done this - presumably they want to move into real estate and non-football ventures, so they rebranded to make that easier. But it's utterly crap either way.

You conveniently missed out the ones that are similar to our current badge.

Yes, to be fair, chavving up Audere-est-Facere was the only thing I particularly objected to in that rebrand.
I dunno... it incorporated the badge shape and the stripes pretty well. Both of our badges have cut out a lot of the fluff to focus on the core elements.
We may think that it lacks character now, but I wonder - how it will be perceived in 5-10 years time after they have created some history with that badge?
Not saying I love it, but I don't see why it's such a huge problem. Times are constantly changing; clubs' badges change with them.

DubaiSpur likes to "fulminate vehemently" about most things. I dread to think what would happen if his mum gave him jammy toast instead of marmalade.

FFP is the most pointless in football.
Means nothing, will lead to nothing but fines these clubs can afford.
UEFA will not ban a big club from the CL because of it.

Why do we want to limit non British players? football is so much better now than when we had the cap.
