Genoa demoted to C1 (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Maher
- Start date
Genoa's president was a crook when he owned Como and he is a crook now. Stupid bastard really. Genoa led Serie B start to finish, there was little chance of them missing out on promotion going into the last match, as they were in second place.
Just play the match, dummy. Even a draw would have been enough.

CONI reject Toro appeal Wednesday 27 July, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Italian Olympic Committee have rejected Torino’s appeal to be reinstated to Serie A.
The Granata failed to provide evidence that they could manage their finances and were expelled from the top flight.
However, despite the CONI rejecting their appeal, Toro can still appeal to Lazio’s Regional Court and then the State Council.
“By August 10, everything will be defined,” stated Torino owner Franco Cimminelli.
“I'm sure we will play in next season's Serie A - we are doing everything to make this possible."
The CONI had already rejected a similar appeal from Messina. They have now announced that they have rejected appeals from clubs in Serie B and C, including Perugia and Salernitana.
Relegated Bologna and Serie B side Treviso will be keeping a close eye on things, as they are the sides who will benefit from the demotions.
The Serie A season is due to start on August 28.

Toro appeal rejected - Messina back in A! Tuesday 2 August, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The verdicts are in from the TAR tribunal and it’s not good news for Torino, Perugia, Salernitana and Napoli – but Messina are back in Serie A.
Messina’s appeal has been accepted and the Sicilian club is readmitted to the top flight after a lengthy legal battle. Theirs was always the most solid position out of all the bankruptcy-threatened sides and supported by the local council.
The Lazio tribunal examined appeals against financially troubled clubs’ exclusion from Serie A and B, but mainly reiterated the verdict given by the football authorities.
This means that Torino are still out of the top flight, while Perugia and Salernitana will not be allowed to register for Serie B.
"We remain confident," stated Granata President Attilio Romero. "We had already been working towards having the right paperwork for the State Counsel on August 9."
Torino registered for the Championship with a bank draft that later proved to be false. The club claimed it was the victim of fraud, but has so far been unable to find financial backing to cover their £27.5m debts
In all 16 motions were handed to the TAR today – five of which were from Napoli in a bid to highlight ‘irregularities’ in the accounts of Arezzo, Ascoli, Brescia, Pescara and Vicenza – but all were rejected. Benevento have also been excluded from Serie C1.
The situation is still in the air, however, as the clubs can all lodge one final appeal to the State Counsel on August 9 - before the fixture lists are drawn up on August 12.
That date could also prove decisive for Messina, as the FIGC will probably lodge their own appeal to the State Counsel in order to have Messina excluded from the top flight.
Football clubs in Italy must prove their financial stability before registering for the new season. If they fail to do so, they are excluded and pushed down a Division to start again under new ownership.
