Title: Lazio & Fiorentina in Serie A - Juventus still in Serie B
Post by: TheDeli on July 25, 2006, 12:30:28 PM
Lazio & Fiorentina have been put back into Serie A following their appeals, AC Milan have had their points deduction reduced to 8 from 15 while Juventus remain in Serie B but now have a 17 point reduction instead of 30

IMO the Italian FA have bottled this by reducing all clubs punishment on appeal

LAZIO AND FIORENTINA BACK IN SERIE A

Lazio and Fiorentina have been reinstated to Serie A but Juventus remain in Serie B following their appeals against the sanctions imposed on them as a result of the match-fixing scandal.

The Rome and Florence outfits were originally relegated to Serie B and docked seven and 12 points respectively for the new season, but they returned to the top flight following an announcement by federal court president Piero Sandulli on Tuesday night.

Fiorentina will start the new season with a 19-point deduction, while Lazio will start with an 11-point deficit.

Juventus, the club hardest hit for breaking Italian Football Federation (FIGC) rules, remain in Serie B but have had their 30-point deduction reduced to 17.

But AC Milan, who avoided relegation under the original verdict, have seen their 15-point penalty for next season reduced to eight.

Italian FA have just bottled it because they were afraid of the affect it would have on the league to have any more top players moving abroad. AC Milan in the Champions League qualifiers is a joke, how mistreated is the team they knock out going to feel, when they could theoretically been playing Palermo instead.

Indeed but the arguement is who should be to blame? The actual people that did wrong or the fans?
