Fiorentina spent more than €120 million this summer trying to stop being a chaotic football club, and three matches in, they're bottom of Serie A with one goal scored, Fabio Grosso has been sacked, and the man replacing him is Paolo Vanoli… yes, the manager Grosso replaced back in June.

So what actually happened? In this one I go through how last season ended and why the club let Vanoli walk, what January did regarding people running this place after the death of Rocco Commisso, what Fabio Paratici did with the transfer window and why the fanbase is split on it, and the twelve hours that took Grosso from "three games to save his job" to no job at all.
