Parma has been officially declared bankrupt. next season they will start the league as an amateur club, in serie D.

All players will soon be granted the release by FIGC and become free agents. Co-owned players will be fully owned by the other team.

scavengers now need to activate stand by mode :pazzini:



such a sad news for all calcio fans :(

There are so many clubs with big support bases in the lower leagues in Italy. Triestina, Parma, Messina, Padova, and now Parma. Yet people are surprised that the crowds suck so much. A big part of it is the shitty stadiums, but it doesn't help when you have teams that have barely any fans like Chievo, or fucking Carpi.

If all the players will leave, then who will play for Parma?

With the right planning and great management hopefully within 5-10 years. It'd be a great movie

They are linked with Juventus immediately. They offered Cerri a contract and a loan at Carpi.

Also, Mauri is being heavily linked with them. Loan to Sassuolo is on the table.

God damn juve they pounce so hard on youngsters. I can't imagine other clubs arent looking into them though. I'm sure they'd be great for a bunch of mid table teams to sign outright

Juventus has clearly become the Bayern of Italy.

Sucks the team for only 20 million euro is a steal. Don't they have a europa league title? I remember Asprilla winning a trophy with them when I was little

I just can't believe we just bought a player for 2x more then this team cost haha

Yup, there was an article in Gazzetta few days ago about their policy of signing young and talented youngster and dispatching them on loans throughout Serie A, B and lower divisions. They've got like 50 youngsters on their list (net-worth around 60 million euros).

@Ronin I wouldn't say so. They are holding the best cards right now, but they are far away from Bayern in terms of domination. Bayern has no competition in Bundesliga. Juventus has rivals. It's not like they can count on the league title from the start like Bayern.

A steal? Not really dude, to build that team back up in terms of facilities and debt would be bonkers. Especially since it dropped to Serie B. Honestly it's probably best they start fresh back in Serie D

The president in Catania has been arrested together with six other officials from the club because of suspected match-fixing. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/23/catania-serie-b-seven-arrested-match-fixing

Catania club president Antonino Pulvirenti and six others were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of fixing matches this year to keep the club from being relegated from Serie B, Italy’s second division, investigators said.

Those arrested including Pulvirenti, who also owns dozens of supermarkets and an airline, are accused of sporting fraud and match-fixing, Catania police said in a statement.

Pulvirenti, through his lawyer Giovanni Grasso, said he was “certain that he can prove he was not involved”, according to Corriere della Sera Web site.

Twelve others, including five players and the owner of a rival club in Messina, are under investigation for manipulating at least five games played in 2015, police and prosecutors told reporters.

The typical payoff to rival players to throw a match was €10,000, police official Antonella Paglialunga said. Police used wiretaps and video surveillance in the investigation, she said.

The latest Italian match-fixing scandal follows just a month after some 50 people, including a suspected Calabrian mobster, were detained on accusations of fixing dozens of matches in the country’s third division and its top semi-pro league.

In that case, investigators suspect 28 Lega Pro and Serie D matches from the 2014-15 season were rigged.

Catania, relegated from Serie A the previous season, finished 15th in Serie B in 2014-15, just three points above the relegation playoff places.

The Sicilian side were previously promoted from Serie B in 2005-06.
