Italian Club football in absolute mess

[tifosi]

Well, its getting only worse for them.

Telegraph newspaper online - World Cup 2006

Along with AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina, Juventus are accused of trying to influence the appointment and conduct of referees during their back-to-back Serie A triumphs in 2004-05 and 2005-06. They will have to wait until Friday at the earliest to learn their fate, which could even involve relegation to Serie C. But privately lawyers for Juventus are expecting the club to be banished to the second division which, for a club floated on the Italian Stock Exchange, is a severe punishment as it guarantees at least two seasons outside the Champions League.

Juve, Milan, Inter and Fiorentina are most likely to be relegated by next week, which means they play in the lower division.

ManU is looking for Pirlo and Gattuso .
Real is looking at Buffon and half of Juve side. Really sad state for Italian soccer fans.

Latest news is that only Juventus is being relegated, the other 3 teams will be docked some points, and hence will begin next season with negative points...

Cannavaro & Zambrotta will be following Capello to Real Madrid...

nedved, del piero & cannavaro staying if juve are relegated to serie b & also zambrotta will go to madrid with a buyback clause so juve can get him back anytime when they are promoted.

sad to see what is happening. but once a juve supporte always a juve supporter. times like these you know if you are a true fan of the club or no. unlike many other ppl who watch soccer & just support the teams that are winning that season.

anyways must hope for the best. 1% chance is still there that they wont get relegated.

btw juve also signed their new manager & former juve/chelsea player didier dechamps who recently was managing monaco & had reached the finals with them only to loose to porto. good move by juve signing a young manager & a former famous juve player.

No............

Pirlo Cant go from AC Milan......

Most prolly Kaka will go to Madrid then.

Juve should be relegated to Serie C seeing their role in the scandal.

A points deduction for the other 3 teams shud be enuff.

And I dont think any other team except Juve will be relegated, the others will have a 10-20 point reduction I guess.

But since this is Italian Football, you never know .

Latest News:

Italy's most successful soccer club Juventus were relegated to second division Serie B on Friday along with ex-champions Fiorentina and Lazio after a sports tribunal found the clubs guilty of offences in a match-fixing trial.

Bringing to a head the biggest scandal in European soccer for decades, the tribunal also ruled that AC Milan, although they will stay in Serie A, would have their points from last season reduced by 44 -- ruling them out of next season's Champions League.

Juventus were stripped of their last two title wins -- from 2006 and 2005.

All four clubs will start next season with points penalties with Juventus forced to begin their Serie B campaign with minus 30 points -- almost ensuring they will spend at least two seasons in Serie B.

Milan will start their Serie A campaign next season with minus 15 points. In Serie B, Fiorentina begin on minus 12 and Lazio on minus seven.
