Appeal For The Italian Scandal!

stellazio SG

Juventus' demotion to Serie B will stand but Lazio and Fiorentina are to remain in Serie A, the Italian federal court appeals tribunal announced on Tuesday evening.

The Bianconeri had originally been handed a 30-point Serie B deduction for the forthcoming campaign, but, on appeal, that has now been reduced to a 17-point penalty even if the deposed champions' relegation stands.

Lazio and Fiorentina, meanwhile, have been allowed to remain in Serie A, but will start with 11 and 19 point deductions respectively.

Milan have been allowed to compete in the UEFA Champions League in the forthcoming campaign, although the Rossoneri start the coming season with an eight-point handicap.

Lazio, Fiorentina and Milan have all been docked 30 points from their league total for season 2005/06.

That's right. Once a corrupted league, always a corrupted league.

Think Juve is going for a fresh appeal again. Don't be surprised that they will be back up in Serie A after the appeal.

Damn Serie A!! Lost confidence in this corrupted league.

The whole scandal seems covered up by me.
All the political power and mafias seemed to have taken control.
This whole scandal is a joke la.
Scarly they appeal until all bo dai ji, den Juventus will bang the wall for selling Cannavaro, Thuram, Zambrotta & Emerson too early.

The way I see it, the Italian FA lost a lot of credibility by reducing the sentences as a result of the appeals. If you want to punish the teams, just give them the punishment, and stick to it!

The way I see it, the four clubs were allowed the reprieve only because of:

1. The World Cup win.

2. Money talks. The loss of four clubs from Serie A and the Champions League would lead to loss of $$$$.

It sends a wrong message to others by allowing them a reprieve following the appeals. It shows that you can have a chance to get off the hook if you're corrupt.

As it is, the original punishments, while harsh, are already less harsh than the worst case scenario: Juve goes to Serie C1, and AC Milan joins the others in Serie B. If you're going to be corrupt, then you had better pay the price if you're caught.
