A far as Viola-tinted conspiracies go, this fits somewhere between "UFOs visiting a friendly against Pistoiese" and "Etruscan graveyard below the Franchi." You can pick which pole is which. www.violanation.com/fiorentina-h...
Paratici could be the first sign of a Fiorentina sale
Hey buddy, you wanna hear a loony conspiracy theory?

That's very reassuring.
Don't worry. Fabio Paratici will save EVERYTHING.
