Talk:ACF Fiorentina/Archive 1

Correction
In the text the author wrote that Soccer teams in Italy don't fail. This isn't true, Fiorentina is failed in the summer 2002. Actual Fiorentina is a new, reborn society, founded in 2002 (when the old AC Fiorentina was under failure after controlled administration). Fiorentina was refused in Serie B because it doesn't own necessary money (was not failed yet.. only three months later)

I don't change that because my english isn't perfect.

Anglo-Italian cup
Actually Fiorentina did not win the Anglo-Italian Cup, as it is saind in the page.--Panairjdde 16:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Fiorentina won the Anglo-Italian League Cup in 1975. [california viola] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.247.23.92 (talk) 05:50, 14 August 2007

Associazione Calcio Fiorentina
"Associazione Calcio Fiorentina" was the old failed society. ACF was his acronym and was part of the team logo.

The new society (of Mr. Della Valle) took the name ACF Fiorentina, where ACF does not mean anything, as it was just a way to mantain the old football logo. So, by now, is not correct to state ACF is an acronym of something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.41.180.23 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Help
I am expanding the voice but I'm italian and my first language is (of course) italian. I can speak a good english but I can also do some mistakes. If someone could stand over my work, it would be better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.18.136.83 (talk) 09:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Tomas Usfaluji No longer plays for Fiorentina

 * He is contracted to Fiorentina until June 30, so he must stay there. --Angelo (talk) 07:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Not at all slanted towards recent events
For some ludicrous reason there is a Wikipedia guideline message suggesting that the 'Delle Valle era' section is slanted towards recent events. He took over the club as new owner in 2002, where the section starts! The section only covers recent years because he has not been in charge of Fiorentina that long. Could someone remove that incorrect tag that is sitting on top of the section? p.s. I didn't write the article, nor do i even support Fiorentina, i just find the criticism made grossly incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.59.70 (talk) 18:50, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Huge update?
Holy cow, the recentism is gone at last! Mighty fine work, people! -- Fractious Jell (talk) 20:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Talking of huge updates, I emended the whole article earlier for grammar, so hopefully it reads somewhat better now. Perhaps someone could review it?


 * In so doing I shortened a small paragraph under History that didn't make sense: "The club reached Serie A for the first time in 1929. After a rough beginning and three seasons in lower championships, Fiorentina reached Serie A in 1931." It would appear that there was some sort of change to the Italian league structure around this time, but this was not clear; perhaps someone who is more familiar with the league's history (or knows enough Italian to work it out from the [equivalent Italian page], which contains far more detail on this) could expand this section to make it easier to understand. 24.22.208.181 (talk) 05:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Can we mention the fact that Fiorentina are in the process of building a new stadium and maybe talk about it a little bit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.164.33 (talk) 00:20, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I've been supporting Fiorentina since birth (the 60's) and Florence has been in the process of building a new stadium ever since. By the time Fiorentina will get a new stadium, the Internet will be obsolete, so I wouldn't bother with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.233.69.68 (talk) 00:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Data and History - This should be separated in two different entries
AC Fiorentina and ACF Fiorentina are not the same club. They are two different and unrelated societies, and as such, their data and history should be separated here in Wikipedia.

I don't understand why an historical club in Spain, Málaga, happens to have its data and history separated here in Wikipedia in the entries of CD Málaga and Málaga CF, while Fiorentina, which have the very same fate, has everything merged in this one single entry.(Mr Wesker (talk) 10:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC))
 * ACF Fiorentina is officially and legally recognized as the direct heir of AC Fiorentina. There are no AC Fiorentina fans and ACF Fiorentina fans, there are just Fiorentina fans. I don't know about Spain, but here in Italy it's not so uncommon to see football club declaring bankruptcy and then starting all over again, then returning back to the top flight (I can quickly remind of current Serie A teams Palermo, Napoli, Catania, Torino and Fiorentina all sharing this fate). --Angelo (talk) 10:10, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

The article should be titled "Fiorentina" since this is what the team is normally called by all, fans and media alike. The article on Marylin Monroe is not titled "Norma Jeane Mortenson." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.233.69.68 (talk) 00:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Chairman history
What happened after Della Valle family banned from football in 2006? It is odd that adding Andrea Della Valle resign. Matthew_hk  t  c  23:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * After 2006, nothing really happened: the ban was later significantly reduced to 8 months for Diego Della Valle and 13 months for Andrea Della Valle, but this did not prevent any of them from serving as club chairman, as far as I know. Andrea Della Valle resigned yesterday instead, but because of completely unrelated reasons (the family mentioned about a restructuring process in the Tod's family-controlled company, and disagreements with the Florence administration regarding the plans for a new stadium and a new training camp). --Angelo (talk) 07:19, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Embarresment 
In the early 90s they had their shirts designed on computer and had to change them when a German viewer of Serie A football noticed that from a certain camera angle the white dots formed a swastika pattern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.19.67 (talk) 11:39, 4 May 2006

It would have been around 1994. Would it not be encyclopedic to note that a team had to change their colours owing to them using a symbol banned in Germany? 20:21, 21 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.110.186 (talk)

What about the Pizza?
Just for reference, I went to the Fiorentina page (which redirects here) looking for info about the pizza... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.143.18.224 (talk) 15:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
