italy football saga Juventus, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina have been ordered to stand trial over match-fixing allegations. Italian football federation prosecutor Stefano Palazzi confirmed the four clubs will face questions over match-fixing allegations and demotion is a likely outcome if found guilty. Palazzi did not divulge the names of individuals, but said a number of sports figures would also be ordered to stand trial in the sports court. The trial is due to start next Wednesday at Rome's Stadio Olimpico, with the Italian federation keen to reach a conclusion in early July - allowing for the authorities and clubs to plan for next term.
another pre season chaos at serie ,last two year in a row there has been disruption to the league will juve be stripped of titles and demoted could be interesting
any bets it involves the season when ronaldo was at inter, there where loads of STRANGE goings on then. keepers throwing balls into nets etc
they could get relegated which would mean possible transfer frenzy surely there players wont want srie b football inter or roma strolling to a title
i think a massive fine is more likely, a relegation wouldnt really effect the club in the long run would it? Juve only get 15k crowds anyway
yeah trezeguet,viera,emersonand probably a few more have stated there not going to play in serie b deschamps has been interviewed for the juve job as juve think capello will leave if they get relegated
its to do with the fact they have taped conversations from luciano moggi to the head of the italian referee's commitee telling him which refs he wanted for certains ,games this is been over the last two years, not six year ago if juve escape relegation it will cause all sorts of kick off's imo there pretty much guilty
The Italian FA has asked for all four clubs to be relegated with Juve being demoted to Serie C. Good possibility this may happen with more people becoming implicated. Should be some interesting transfers going on soon
but they will appeal then go to real courts not just sport court if it does happen del piero has said he will stay and possibly cannavaro
so? what about the reduced tv income and lack CL money! it would fucking cripple them you fool! not to mention inflated wages on a serie c income!
Can you imagine iof they are relegated though ! there would be some top players available at low prices and youd be gutted if you were a chelsea fan paying 30 mil for sheva when you could have had him for next to nothing ! There has got to be something in all of this everyone knows dodgy things have gone on in italian footy i mean even the comentators for Gazetta fotball used to say expect draws near the end of the season as teams agree to help each other out and such ...
I wouldnt be so sure this time as it is something more serious than has seen before. Plus the Italian FA has been quite strick before. Fiorentina, one of the clubs involved in this, has only been back in Serie A two seasons after being demoted to Serie C for fucking about behind the scenes
fiorentina were demoted fpor bankrupcy werent they?? poor financial status but they got back to serie a in two seasons and are already a strong team again so it wouldnt take the others long...if all four were to go to serie b...only 3 would be straight back
some class players, i hope buffon doesn't move to arsenal like rumoured, i worship him but fucking hate the gunners
