How Long Can He Last?

So Juve lost again. At home, again. This time they fell 2-1 to the resurgent Roma under former Grey Lady mister Claudio Ranieri. I know Ciro Ferrara seems to have an unending store of votes of confidence from the club but it feels like at some point he has to get sacked. They have taken only 3 of the last 18 possible points and are effectively out of the title chase. Add to that the embarassing debacle at home against Bayern Munich that took them out of the Champion's League and this is looking like the worst season post-calciopoli.

The squad isn't at the calibre of some of the powerhouses in Juventus history but it certainly has enough to be able to compete. Given the quickfinger culture of Italian football I am shocked he isn't gone yet. So much so that I think maybe he sticks out the season so they can bring in a big name over the summer. Or maybe not, who knows.
