Long interview with the former general director of Siena last season, Ernesto Salviniwho spoke during the program Al Club con la Robur, produced by Sienaclubfedelissimi.it: “My history with Juventus must be divided into two halves, I hold dear the first, in which I lived five fantastic months. There weren’t many fans but they were polite and were far too patient. The team started very well, then a moment of decline occurred and it was probably clear that there was something that went beyond the technical discussion. Everyone who passed in Siena just thought to the present but no one has thought about leaving something lasting, whether it was a property system or a corporate organisation. Ownership passes, but if there is a minimum of structure, that allows the clubs to self-regenerate.”
On the final failure: “It is useless to list the culprits, because after what happened last year, there are so many culprits and people who should take responsibility – including me -. Starting from the political party which was established at the time, but also to people who were part of a former owner entity who probably were unable to be clear and sincere at any time. Then a property that was not well understood, as I do not understand now, what purpose it has took the club if there were no characteristics to be passionate about what a path to manage a football club must be. A football club has nothing to do with a normal club, because it deals with animated things, each person has their own head and one’s vicissitudes. In football you play with the hearts of the people.”
