Juventus....

I have seen they've been deducted 15 points, and rumours are they may be about to go through a time of financial woes. Could we be on the brink of an end of the era for their Italian dominance? It looks very unlikely they'll get into the CL next year, possibly not even Europa.

What do we think....just a bad year this year and then straight back to business as usual next season, or something a little more sinister?

Funny how the 3 most corrupt/dodgy/financially miss-managed clubs in Europe are the 3 that are still clinging onto the "they know best" Super League idea..........

Remember the great juve team of the 90s ? I saw them a few times and came away swearing they were on drugs (I will also say the same about Barca under pep ) sure enough it turned out they were .
Always have been cheats .

Did Juve get penalised several years back for some other dodgy stuff or was it another of the Serie A big hitters?

AC Milan wasn't it?

Yep, it was Juve. Relegated for match fixing.

And stripped of previous league titles.

Yes just been reading up, match fixing that time; relegation and stripped of 2 league titles; ouch. Ironically the article I read praised the players who stayed after relegation including Pavel Nedved, who was one of the board who all resigned around Christmas 2022 when they knew they were caught out.

Blimey I'd forgotten about that. OK, so if they bounced back from relegation I don't think 15 points will do much!

The investigation isn’t over and this sanction is only for some of the allegations so more could come.

Teams of this size will usually bounce back due to their income and appeal.
