Allan Jacobsen Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I'm sure it's about time for Venezia to go bankrupt again. Have they started building their new stadium yet? Had a decent Football Manager career with Tritium a few years back. I think they had an affiliation with Atalanta at one point.ย Hope to see them back in Serie C before too long. After Celano announcing that they'd been promoted a couple of weeks ago, it turns out they hadn't quite yet. They had to play a two-legged affair against New Club Villa Mattoni. They won 6-5 on penalties yesterday to definitely seal promotion back to Promozione. They did it the hard way after bottling a 2-0 lead against 9 men and conceding the equaliser in the 96th minute to make it 4-4 on aggregate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman Hessian Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 oooft - perennial, recurring Genoese failureย Ivan Juriฤ is appointed as the new full-time Hellas Verona coach; Aglietti - who somehow blagged his way through the play-offs on a wave of just about doing enough - was never going to get the gig having proved himself time and time again to never really have what it takesย to hold down a job in Serie B, let alone at a higher level; that said, Juriฤ is young, has a finger on the pulse of Balkan football and - well - that's about it if Hellas are not bottom at Christmas, he'll be sacked after a dismal home defeat at the hands of whoever is in last place - if he's not gone by late autumn having been dumped out of the Coppa Italia by the lowest-placed team left in the competition at that stage; he has previous of catastrophic defeats by shite teams with nothing other than one promotion (with Crotone) to balance the books maybe, just maybe he can fabricate a season of unlikely survival based on a centre-back pairing of two as yet unheard-of centre-backs who go on to eclipse Nemaja Vidic in the roll of clearly psychotic but unfeasibly effective defensive genii, but I somehow doubt it oh dear.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 here's one to look forward to next season - the renewal of a rarely contested 'derby di sicilia' as Trapani have just beaten Piacenza in the decisive leg of the last Serie C playoff to earn promotion - fairly cool ground, Trapani... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The San Siro is still a tremendous stadium. OK it doesn't have the corporate facilities that some have (although the suites inside the stands are pretty swish) and is probably too big, but it's iconic and when it's pretty full it can still generate a fantastic atmosphere. It'll be a sad day when it comes down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Footy Accumulatorsโ@FootyAccums The Mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala, has publicly warned AC & Inter that the council owns San Siro and intends to keep it open until 2026, "end of story."

Allan Jacobsen Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Absolute clusterfuck at Palermo where it appears that they have been defrauded byย dodgy Bulgarian insurance brokers. They've also either registered for Serie B with one minute to spare or didn'tย register in time. Long story short, they need to prove that they're financially stable or else it's Serie D for them next season. Foggia are also unlikely to be allowed to play in Serie C following relegation from Serie B last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appealed it last year promising "financies would improve" and won the appeal. Spunked a fucking fortune to get into the CL to cover their arse over FFP, and failed to make the CL, so have no choice but to accept the ban this year. 3 hours ago, senorsoupe said: Italian football is being run with the same fiscal responsibility that Scottish Football was 10-15 years ago Italian football is just Rangers.ย Big in the 90s but shite now, and has resorted to spunking an absolute fortune on glitter to poor over themselves to try and look less like shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
