Fiorentine relagated to Serie 'B', start with a 12 point deduction

Lazio relegated to Serie 'B', start with a 7 point deduction

AC Milan remain in Serie 'A', start with a 15 point deduction

They will probably appeal which could take weeks if they go to law courts and so the season could get delayed

Who won the Italian league then for the last two seasons? Inter?

Also, what happens to the champ league places? Give 2 to England?

[Esulx]

AC Milan have stayed in Serie 'A' because the evidence against them wasnt strong enough to relegate them.

Roma, Chievo and Palermo will take the Champions League spots.

Decision on the 2005 & 2006 titles to be confirmed at a later date.

Still unclear as to who is now going to be Serie A champions , also Italian FA will have to decide who will now be in the Champions league and this has to be done by the 28th so not much time for a appeals to be soughted out.

It said earlier on SSN the clubs have 3 days to appeal to the punishment, but the appeal I would of thought be considered and soughted out quickly, it's only if the clubs decide to take it to the law courts outside of football that it will get interesteing.

Actually what does happen to the CL places, do they let two teams from another two countries into the competition or just give four teams in the third round of the qualifying draw a bye and let them in. If they were to give them to another a league/s / country/ies shouldn't it be England and spain due to us having high Uefa Co-efficients if that is the correct phrase. Not saying that i think this should happen or is even likely to happen but it would be nice if us and Spuds were thrown into the CL instead of the Uefa Cup.

With that 30-point deducation there is no way Juve are getting back up at the first attempt.

...ignore my drivle about the Cl places please....

[Drakefyre]

They let other Italian teams that finished lower in the league in.

[Bobby G]

If Milan havent been relegated, they should be champions but theyll give it to cheap ol Inter...

[philipl]

Juve will lose most of their players for sure- they are not going to overcome a 30 point deduction to get promoted from Seriew B very easily when there are Lazio and Fiorentina keeping them company.

Neither Fiorentina nor Lazio have the financial strength to withstand a season out of Serie A and at least two seasons out of Europe without dumping players.

AC are not that good a prospect for "big club" players. Out of the CL next season and a 15 point deduction means making the CL for 2007/8 will be no formality.

So who wants whom?

[bboy]

that's also good for rovers because now their are some less quality teams in UAFA cup so if we were to go far we will not face Roma est.

[Drakefyre]

Do more Serie B teams get promoted or do less Serie A teams get relegated?

[Flopsy]

30 points??? dear god - whats the chances of them getting relegated?

[Bobby G]

They wont get relegated but I dont think they will get promoted either.

[Esulx]

Roll-Up, Roll-Up

I'm taking bets on the first player to jump ship...

...place your bets!!! (no pun intended)

[stuwilky]

30 points??? dear god - whats the chances of them getting relegated?

Well, in the Prem only the top 5 would have survived a 30 point deduction

The top 6 in the fizzy pop

Only Southend in League 1

Only the top 3 in League 2

So, a distinct possibility they could go down again.

[HertsRover]

Juve plan to appeal according to statement.

[Bobby G]

Not if you consider they will probably have the best squad in there, even if loads of their players leave.

Juventus fined £50,000.
