've read that Cannavaro is considering staying with Juve if they get relegated.

Rumours, no more.
Other report have him joining Capello at Real Madrid. The only confirmed player to stay at Juventus even if they relegate to Serie C is Alessandro Del Piero. (AFAIK anyway)

 

[Rhye]

No, I just prefer sports played by men.

EDIT: I shouldn't be so harsh, I'm sure there are plenty of players that don't collapse into a crying heap when touched. That's why I support relegating the entire team when players dive (not sure why you think that denotes ignorance), it'll discourage such pathetic behavior.

Why that denotes ignorance?
Because you confuse a yellow card with a relegation/bankrupt.

It is as silly as saying that if Schumacher once causes a crash (and deserves a stop-and-go), Ferrari has to be relegate to F.3000

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina will be relegated to Serie B starting with a 15 points deduction the former, and 6-7 the other two. Milan will stay in Serie A, but it will likely be prevented from playing the Champions League, and maybe some points deduction too.
Juventus will also be stripped from the last two league titles (2005 and 2006), but those won't be assigned to anyone, so the books will read no italian champion in these years.
They can still appeal of course.

Makes sense about not reassigning the titles since other clubs would have a hard time justifying that they really won those titles.

 

[MCdread]

Yep, I guess Inter won't even win those. If Milan begins the league with points deducted, they'll have a golden opportunity to win this season, but I guess they'll still be taunted as only winning it for lack of opponents. Or maybe AS Roma will be a strong contender too.

Btw, those are just information leaks, because it will only be made official this evening.

 

[Dell19]

Another team might spend a significant amount of money to try and win the title if they think it would be their best chance of winning.

Will be a strange season.

I recognize the difference. I'm just saying the yellow card isn't harsh enough. And I never said it wasn't silly.

Calciopoli: The verdicts
* Juventus: relegation to Serie B, revocation of the 2004/2005 Serie A title, non-assignation of the 2005/2006 Serie A title, 30 points of penalty in the 2006/2007 Serie B league.
* AC Milan: 44 points of penalty in the 2005/2006 Serie A league, such to put the team outside the European Cups qualification zone, plus 15 points of penalty in the 2006/2007 Serie A league.
* Fiorentina: relegation to Serie B, plus 12 points of penalty in the 2006/2007 Serie B league.
* Lazio: relegation to Serie B, plus 7 points of penalty in the 2006/2007 Serie B league.



I must say that I am slightly dissappointed that Juve is not going to Serie C, however, -30 points should keep them in B for another year.

 

[BirraImperial]

Milan should have been relegated

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

I am upest by that as well.

 

[AVN]

Hmmm,

Teams have 3 days to appeal, and I guess they will do that.
In the appeal the sentences will probably reduced (as is IMO the case in most football appeal cases).

And in the end the sentences will be laughable.

 

[Shevchenko]

Im so happy Milan didn't get relegated, they didn't even do anything big when you compare it with Milan, just that I hope Milan can overcome the -15 points next season, knowing Inter it will still won't win...its a tradition.

 

[kalif]

so how many teams can promote from serie b to seria a, btw?

 

[BirraImperial]

I guess the 3 extra spots left by Serie A, plus the usual 4?

 

[kalif]

ah ok, so there are no lucky teams from serie b who will replace the 3 relegated sides this season...!? well, if there are now 7 open spots for a promotion and you have a good connection team, i can see all of the punished ones promote directly next year...

 

[Suppersalmon]

Juve starting off on -30 could they realistically get relegated, anyone know how many points you have to get in Serie B to stay up. also if Juve got stripped of there tittles who gets them or are they just Void ?

 

[kalif]

the titles are gone, where no man else has gone before...its just a blank space in serie a annals, i read in spiegel.

Juventus should easily be able to finish midtable although it makes it a massive challenge to get promoted. They will probably all appeal though and that could see the negative points reduced.

Going to be a strange champions league for the next two seasons.
