Ha fatto il giro del mondo il gesto clamoroso dei tifosi del Torino di cospargere di letame l’ingresso del Filadelfia. Una notizia che, alla faccia dell’acufene, è arrivata dall’altra parte del mondo, raccolta in Usa dal New York Times che ha dato ampio risalto a quanto accaduto l’altra notte a Torino. Questo è quello che scrivono e pendano gli americani del Toro, l’articolo che noi mettiamo in lingua originale è firmato Jessica Hopkins 

‘Sh– like Cairo’: Torino fans leave manure outside training ground in protest at owner

Fans of Torino left manure outside the Serie A club’s training ground under a banner criticising the owner following a poor run of results, which has left them three points above the relegation zone.

Torino’s 3-0 loss to Genoa on Sunday, in which they had midfielder Emirhan Ilkhan sent off before half time, was their seventh of the calendar year. A day after the defeat, the club announced they had sacked head coach Marco Baroni, replacing him with Roberto D’Aversa, having only appointed the Italian in June.

This followed the appointment of former Roma sporting director Gianluca Petrachi in December after Davide Vagnati left the role following a five-year spell at the club.

Videos emerged on Tuesday of fans appearing to shovel manure onto the doorstep of the training ground, under a banner criticising the club president and owner, media mogul Urbano Cairo, which read ‘merde come Cairo’ (‘sh– like Cairo’).

Cairo, a 68-year-old businessman, acquired the Serie A side in 2005 after a period of financial and on-pitch difficulty which Torino’s website refers to as ‘the hard years’. Supporters of the Italian club have long wanted him out, however, believing he doesn’t have sufficient ambition.

Torino finished 11th in Italy’s top tier in the 2024-25 term, and ninth the campaign before under former Southampton boss Ivan Juric. This season, however, they have lost 13 of their 26 games, winning just seven.
