Juve to drop appeal?
MILAN, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Juventus might drop their appeal against a match-fixing ruling that demoted them to Serie B in exchange for a lesser penalty, a source close to the Italian club said on Wednesday.
Dropping the appeal could clear the way for the start of the Serie A season, which has been delayed by two weeks to Sept. 9 as Juve appeal to a civil court against a sports tribunal's ruling that sent them down to Serie B with a 17-point penalty.
An accord between Juventus, the Italian Football Federation and the Italian Olympic Committee could be based on a reduction in the penalty points, the source told Reuters.
Details have not been worked out, the source said.
The possible agreement followed a meeting on Wednesday between Juve chairman Giovanni Cobolli Gigli, Olympic Committee President Gianni Petrucci and federation head Guido Rossi.
The Turin club's board could decide the matter in a meeting scheduled for Thursday.
In July, a sports tribunal hearing the match-fixing case stripped Juventus of their last two titles and put them in second tier Serie B with the points penalty.
Juve have argued that the punishment is too harsh.
Three other clubs caught up in the scandal - AC Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio - kept their top-flight Serie A status, but with points penalties.

If we drop the appeal guys!!! HELL will break loose. If we go to TAR we have a GREAT chance to get Serie A and our 2 scudetti back. It's a fact that we paid too much and the other teams got away with it. Like I said before, all in A or all in B. Reggina broke the article one 11 times. That's a lot more than Juve.
They wanted Juve out and got what they wanted. They didn't care about a FAIR trail. We had the right to go to the TAR and our new management can blow it all by not apealing to the TAR.
If "they" accept serie B with no pts or -6pts we should all go to Turin and let Mr. Cobolli-Gigli, Blanc, Sant'Albano and cie know what we think about it.

Juve has a VERY strong case, if we go to TAR we have a chance to goback to Serie A or even get our scudettos back, so IT IS a big deal.
Everybody f·$% with us and we are just gonna accept it?
Even if we dont go to TAR what really piss me off is all the crap that he talk "we will figth till the end" all were lies, we need people that dont be afraid of defending our club, not people that at the first sign of trouble put their head on the ground.
