Maybe we should begin entertainig the idea that Juve returning to Serie A through the appeal courts isn't as good a prospect as we think. For one, the looming shadow of the scandal hasn't lifted and the demotion of Serie B is more than a mere punishment; it represents a clean break and a new beginning. Secondly with a heavy points deduction we may have to consider the security of a new season in Serie A; a fair assumption would be that the penalty would outweigh the initial 30-point one we we slapped with. Seeing that an immediate return to the 70 points-a-season routine is highly unlikely I wouldn't even rule out relegation.
