Default italian football

from what i can figure out, after the match fixing problems, there are going to be 3 teams relegated from seria a, juve, lazio and fiorentina with ac milan staying up but losing 15 points from the start of the season

whats going to happen to the teams that were supposed to be relegated?
are they still going down?
what about the teams going up?
are they still going up?

is it fair?

Difficult to say depending on the evidence but i bet there will be a swarm of premiership teams amongst others in europe trying to buy the players that want out of them teams

The teams that were relegated i believe are staying up now and teams like Roma who qualified for the uefa cup are now in the champions league instead etc

I also read that Juve have been stripped of their last 2 serie A titles they won also

the ruling, while harsh, were fair as far as rulings went

juventus were stripped of their last 2 titles because the match fixing scam was running in the 04 and 05 seasons
to be relegated AND have to start the season with -30 points is a fairly light let off, but if your players decide that they want nothing more to do with the club then they've only got themselves to blame

mind you, this means they won't be back up for at LEAST 2 seasons

it's like chelski being sent to the championship, it's a massive club and this is a bit of a wake up call for anyone else who's tried to swindle some players getting sent off

for those who don't know the story, the basics were that there were certain officials who wold card certain individuals in certain games so that they would be forced to miss out in playing games against these 4 teams
all in all i think there are 26 people who have been caught and banned from the game for at least 4 years
