much rather documentaries preferably on modern football in admittance, than those stupid vids like the 7 people in the Crystal Palace wall when Payet scored
As a Sicilian-American, I’ve been a supporter of Palermo for a long time. I streamed all of their matches when they were still in Serie A. Really glad to see a vid on the Rosanero’s downfall, I followed it closely, but found that it wasn’t covered very much outside of Italy. Great vid as always. Forza Palermo.
I'm from México and I remember actually considering buying a Palermo jersey back in the Cavani and Pastore years because that team was so fun to watch and looked very elegant. I miss Palermo in Serie A, they added a lot of flavor to the league.
This modern day Atalanta side went 1 better than that Palermo side I do wonder though if Atalanta will decline rapidly now seeing they're out of Europe. I hope they hold firm though
How about something on the Pozzo family. They own udinese and Watford. Especially considering udinese we're good 10 years ago and are now neglected because of watford
As a huge Serie A fan since 2009 I loved this video. Zamparini truly made every calcio fan hate Palermo, even though we always felt bad for the fans. As I got into Italian football the atmosphere at night games in the Renzo Barbera was insane. A real shame how one man can ruin a club.
I started watching palermo around 2011, I was amazed by their fun way to play. I was one of the very few norwegian fans, I had to read every news article in Italian (with no pre-knowledge of the language, except google translate). And I can tell you this, hell it was a bumpy ride. Watching Zamparini destroy everything month after month, I think the turning point for me was when he sacked Pioli, then I understood there was no way back. I watched them play Serie B/A on severly crappy illegal streams for years, when they finally hit Serie D, I was finally happy again. Lets hope they can rise from the ashes. Also, I lolled when you mentioned Ezequiel Munoz as a dependable centerback. Hell he turned out a decent player, but he made more penalties than anyone in the start. Guy was so buff he pushed down anyone, all the time. I do love him tho, but you never knew if he was gonna win you the match or make you lose it (most likely the latter).
I'm from Palermo, thank you for your support, here in Palermo there is an air of rebirth and we are very confident that Palermo will sooner or later return to the old values of the past.
These documentaries on great fallen teams are what makes this channel unique.You can find a video on the "Premier League's XI of the season" elsewhere,but only this channel produces videos like these.Keep this up Alfie, absolutely enjoying these!!
When Palermo’s relegation happened in July 2019, it saved the losers of the Série B playout from relegation. That team was Venezia, the first club Zamparini ruined, who are now on their third Phoenix club since Zamparini left them bankrupt in 2002.
i have been stuck home sick for the last days and have had a hard time sleeping and i have been watching your channel almost none stop. This is the best of the best footbal channel on youtube!
Kristian Butterworth pretty sure, i know that the 2000s was the best era for the club placement wise. Honestly I feel like a lot of the reason that they only got 5th is because the teams above Palermo were just so ridiculously good
@@isaisabellaisa you're correct, that was the last time serie a was the best league, it looks like it could be making a comeback though! But the early to mid 2000s is when Juventus AC Inter etc were all still powerhouses
So I've been following this channel a couple months now, since I first started getting into soccer a year or so ago. This video perfectly encapsulates why this channel is fantastic. Where the hell else am I gonna get a lesson in art history and soccer in the same place? Beautiful, man.
I followed the story and Luzenac really got shafted there. They sued the LFP and a judge ruled in their favour, saying that Luzenac was unfairly stripped of their Ligue 2 spot, but it was too late for something to be done tho (2017 IIRC).
I didn't know the fact that the current Atalanta and AC Milan manager were both in charge of Palermo before. Good video. Sad story of what could have been.
More, more, more videos like this buddy. I don't mind your occasional glitching, your work is incredible which is why I have been asking for you to make a video about 7 last Chelsea signings before the Abramovich takeover even though I could read it all up myself.
That was one of my favourite videos of yours, all of which are very good, I honestly can't believe you're from Yorkshire though as you're much more eloquent than anyone else I know (I'm from Yorkshire) or anyone from Yorkshire except maybe Patrick Stewart
So many people forget about Barros Schelotto's time at Palermo. Rightfully so, mind you, but it led to him going back to Argentina to manage Boca Juniors, a huge move for him.
So, a team that languished in the lower leagues for many years before it's granted fortune by an ambitious owner, raising the club to an unpredecented height in its history... only for that same owner to sunk them to the ground. Seems fair to say that this is Italy's version of Watford, except Zamperini is even MORE trigger happy than Watford's owners (and just flat out insane), and Palermo was arguably much more succesful. Good video as always.
In this and other worlds,I am a 53rd liker of this video and Palermo are an extremely so fantastic team forever in their respective lives and every generations that we would be born even though,they have fallen but I am still only following this team even if they are in their lower division,good friends!!!:-D
I want to get into Italian football. I think I’m leaning towards a Serie A team like Roma, and a team in Serie A right now but mid table like Fiorentina or Torino, but Palermo seem interesting to me. I saw some videos and they look like a club with history and culture which I like while also trying to find success in Europe and even Italy. I hope to get more into Palermo and football in general.
I'm a sucker for Palermo shirts. When a good one comes up on ebay, I'm always there. I currently own twelve and usually wear them in the gym. The one I'm desperate for is the third shirt from a few seasons back, black with pink pin stripes.
A video on the legendary Independiente forward line of Arsenio Erico, Antonio Sastre and Vicente de la Mata on how good they were and what they achieved together at Independiente during the late 1930s and early 1940s. Or a video on the halcyon days of Argentine football at both club and international level during the 1930s and 1940s with the many great players, teams and successes achieved during the period.
These documentaries are top class and really compliment the channel
I know
Thanks
complement*
They are the channel as far as Im concerned.
I actually wish more people would watch videos like this
And then you go into the comments and people are just suggesting their worthless video ideas.
Wish more people would actually discuss the video.
v ABHI ikr
Actually yeah?
much rather documentaries preferably on modern football in admittance, than those stupid vids like the 7 people in the Crystal Palace wall when Payet scored
v ABHI you can't really blame them because not many people know about the subject, so they can't add anything in the comments
I miss those pink shirts...
Those pink 👕 have a lot to do with why I clicked on this video quickly when I saw it.
they got promoted from Serie D to Serie C, so keep an eye out, they may be back in Serie B very soon
Hopefully they will get back-to-back promotion same as Parma do.
@@jacksonmacmanus1001 and they are

And now they own a championship club lmao
@John Mitchell brought upon by their own actions though
And now Watford's star players are joining Udinese 😄
So thats why all Watfords players have been sold to Udinese?!
One of the best channels on RUclips hands down .
My favorite club in Italy. Hope they can reach the Serie A again in the future🤞🏻💪🏻

I would like a video about Pescara. They are in lower Serie B, and once had players like Immobile, Verratti, and Insigne
and the great Valeri Bojinov
Immobile & Insigne were only loans mind you

Palermo's former owner is a nutcase. I remember that year where he hired and fired 12+ managers in one season.

One of the great and unique kits in world football - would love to see them back in Serie A
The club actually disappeared in 2019 and was re-founded in Serie D.
They are actually Palermo FC now...
@Tommy Tunes how is it confusing? Or are you that stupid you think it stands for United States?? 🤔😂
We are back 🩷🖤
Thanks so much for this! Just this year I fell in love with Palermo and they’re sure to be my team in Italy from now on. One of your best videos!
i have been stuck home sick for the last days and have had a hard time sleeping and i have been watching your channel almost none stop. This is the best of the best footbal channel on youtube!
Palermo was great when they had dybala
Edit: I forgot to mention Cavani, Pastore and more
i’d honestly say that the mid 2000s Palermo was when they were at their best in recent times
@@isaisabellaisa true
@@isaisabellaisa is that when they had pastore etc? I remember watching highlights they were great to watch

Sicilian from Palermo here. Support Palermo is pain, the problem is that it was not even the first "Rise and Fall". I hope it will be the last!
Mafioso
Schalke 04 semi finalis 2010/11 Champions League. Where are they now...

Talk about a different form of mismanagement indeed. All those players that left on a free or on the cheap.
the gut old times...
They are relegated... what a shame
this video aged very well, thank u for your work. Forza Palermo

*football
Big Palermo fan and having lived this broke my heart
They lost Kyle Lafferty. That’s how it happened.
When even the Italians think you've taken the term "Top Shagger" too far, then maybe it's time to rethink your career choices.
@@saintroddy more like you've achieved everything possible in life and you might as well just coast on that for the rest of your life.
7 foot and he plays the flute
lafferty the worse player in the top five leagues history
@@kaitlynhill3292 laughs in Ali Dia
that transition in the intro was the best thing i’ve heard in a while
Imagine a board like this in a career mode , that’d be wild
Peak Roman Empire starting XI if it was reunited today
Basically the whole of Europe
@nicky manaj no
@nicky manaj not really
Let's see who knows History
@nicky manaj Oof
Update: CFG are buying Palermo
You should do a video about Luzenac’s scandal when they should’ve went up to ligue 2
I followed the story and Luzenac really got shafted there. They sued the LFP and a judge ruled in their favour, saying that Luzenac was unfairly stripped of their Ligue 2 spot, but it was too late for something to be done tho (2017 IIRC).
That was a really torrid story would love to see hitc sevens do a vid about it
Work the space did a play through on FM to help draw attention. Absolute disgrace what happened.d
These videos are honestly way better than the lists you make. Cheers
Haven't even watched it yet but we all know fully well its when Kyle lafferty left
I didn't know the fact that the current Atalanta and AC Milan manager were both in charge of Palermo before. Good video. Sad story of what could have been.
Also the current manager of Napoli and Fiorentina were in charge of Palermo. Let's say it's easy when you have a crazy owner like Zamparini.
Thank you for bringing light to the fascinating and tragic story of Palermo!
"You wanna be palermo-manager?"
"Yeah a month in sicily sounds good."
This is the best video you’ve done!
Best intro followed by your best video yet! ur voice fells more in place for these types of documentaries, hope u do more
Now owned by the city group, Palermo is on the up. I have family ties to Sicily so Palermo is going to be the Italian league side I follow
I still miss the old US Citta di Palermo
YES THE FOOTBALL ESSAY KING IS BACK
Another top documentary. Keep them up.
This was a really great video, and I hope to see more, even if the views aren't as high as some others.
Do a part 2! This was one of my favorite videos you’ve done so far! It would also be cool to do updates on some the videos you’ve done before.
One of my favourites videos on RUclips, fantastic
That starting lineup alone in the 09/10 season is insane.
Day 57: every scorer of the 2014 World Cup group stages, where are they now?
Would be great
HiMyNamesLaFlaree thanks mate, just hoping he’ll do it soon!
Can we just appreciate that even after the video were he said he would do less videos he hasn’t missed a daily upload
Recently chose this club to follow in Italian football 😅
This was awesome! Really wanted to know about what happened with Palermo. Thank you
One of your best videos, more like this please.
Love these videos mate. Keep up the great work!
More, more, more videos like this buddy. I don't mind your occasional glitching, your work is incredible which is why I have been asking for you to make a video about 7 last Chelsea signings before the Abramovich takeover even though I could read it all up myself.
This video was fantastic, well done Alfie 👏🏻
You’re knowledge of art and history and how you work it into your videos is excellent, you’re like an English Jon Bois
Such an insightful video and all I can see in the comments is people just cramming their ideas rather than praising or criticising the current one 🙁
Brings back memories
The rise and fall of George Best.
That was one of my favourite videos of yours, all of which are very good, I honestly can't believe you're from Yorkshire though as you're much more eloquent than anyone else I know (I'm from Yorkshire) or anyone from Yorkshire except maybe Patrick Stewart
I love these documentaries keep them up Alfie 👍🏻can you maybe make one on the calciopoli scandal
So many people forget about Barros Schelotto's time at Palermo. Rightfully so, mind you, but it led to him going back to Argentina to manage Boca Juniors, a huge move for him.
Aight im sold with the story of the club, I'll be managing Palermo in Fm20 and 21 then.
great video 💪👌
i’m not a fan of Palermo, but it saddens me to see such a fall from a fellow southern Italy team
My dad was born there and it’s really nice there it’s just sad what happened to their football team
Awesome video!!
I loves these types of vids mate😊❤️
Great vid Alfie!

Actually the story ain't that one at all.
It's not a good video, honestly.
Not surprised that these videos are turning into some italian memes groups
These videos are his best on the channel
these should be your best viewed videos
What a wild ride lmao, probably my favourite video Alfie's made. There needs to be a movie on Zamperini's time at the club
Holy Hell. How much did it cost the club, to sack that many managers?!?
The guy was insane.
Loved this video, hope someday you'll make a video about Cosenza
Great video! Thanks!
In this and other worlds,I am a 53rd liker of this video and Palermo are an extremely so fantastic team forever in their respective lives and every generations that we would be born even though,they have fallen but I am still only following this team even if they are in their lower division,good friends!!!:-D
Love the Rosanero! Good luck! Come back to Serie A soon!
Brilliant Video! Just started a FM21 Save with them
This channel should be called HITC documentaries.
Please do more of these kind of videos

Wild how Zamperini is as crazy as every club's board in FIFA 20 manager career this year.
What an intro!
Zamparini made Roman Abramovich look far less trigger happy. At least Roman only sacks his managers if the team underperforms.
Palermo it's my life and love!
What a video 👏👏
Love the videos like this
I'm a sucker for Palermo shirts. When a good one comes up on ebay, I'm always there. I currently own twelve and usually wear them in the gym. The one I'm desperate for is the third shirt from a few seasons back, black with pink pin stripes.
Alfie these documentary style videos are obviously your calling! 1.6k likes to 17 dislikes, that's a crazy approval rating!
Likes to dislikes ratio is great, just need to get the views up now though!
And I thought Abramovich was the managers nightmare
You should do a video like this on Yeovil Town, I think it would make a good video
They really sank like a stone, didn't they? From the Championship to the fifth tier in four years.
That introduction was poetic...
We will come back 🖤💖🦅
The rise and fall of Red Star next please
