So I’m hearing Eleven Sports are calling it a day already.
Just came here to discuss this.

I hope it does because it sucks but as long as BT sport buy the rights to Serie A again.

Hopefully the Ronaldo factor will encourage them to do so. I don't want to go back to the dark ages of no Serie A on TV.

I’m sure Ronaldo will have a huge factor. Wouldn’t surprise me if Sky get involved.

Possibly to do with the law in the UK forbidding football to be aired on TV for during a certain time on a Saturday, or something like that?

Many a time I switched on a BT stream to watch a Juve game only for it to be cut as the match was about to begin, and notified that it would resume at such and such a time.

Probably not good for ratings.
That law never made sense to me. If people really want to see a game they'll stream it, otherwise for the rest if they don't care enough to stream I don't think they'd be the type to snob the attendance to a lower league game for a match on TV. They're not the same public

Serie A so stronk! Lose 5 of 6 in Europe for the group stage finale. And the club that played a draw in the 6th was at home needing a win against a minnow to avoid crashing out.

Massive results. 1/18 pts

Milan President Paolo Scaroni reportedly had a briefcase containing €10,000 stolen from him on Friday.

According to Corriere della Sera, Scaroni was in the middle of an appointment when the thief opened the backdoor of a car he was in, took the briefcase and ran away.

The broadcaster explains the driver tried to chase the criminal, but a woman, ‘probably an accomplice’, blocked them off and then fled herself.

The thief and woman would have then got on a bus in the Largo Augusto area, not far from the Duomo cathedral, before the case was later found with just possessions and documents belonging to Scaroni and no money inside.

It caps off a difficult day for Milan, who are still reeling from their Europa League exit and were punished by UEFA for Financial Fair Play (FFP) breaches.

**********

UEFA has told Milan to break even by 2021 or have their European ban restored.

However, the CFCB Adjudicatory Chamber added in a statement that €12m of Milan’s Europa League revenue for this season had been withheld, while they could not register more than 21 players in their UEFA squads for the next two campaigns.

The statement read: “The Adjudicatory Chamber of the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) has taken a decision in the case of the club AC Milan following the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) panel in CAS 2018/A/5808 AC Milan v. UEFA to refer the matter to the CFCB for the imposition of a proportionate disciplinary measure for the club’s breach of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, in particular the break-even requirement.

“Accordingly, should the club not be break-even compliant at 30 June 2021, it will be excluded from participating in the next UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify, in the two seasons 2022/23 and 2023/24. The club will also have EUR 12 million of its UEFA revenues from the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League withheld and will not be permitted to register more than 21 players for participation in UEFA competitions in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons.

“This decision may be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, in accordance with Article 34(2) of the Procedural rules governing the UEFA Club Financial Control Body, as well as Articles 62 and 63 of the UEFA Statutes.”

The Rossoneri were first refused a voluntary agreement and a settlement agreement, before being barred from the Europa League for Financial Fair Play (FFP) breaches, as well as doubts over then-owner Li Yonghong.

The club then appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and their change of ownership whereby Elliott Management took over from Li proved decisive.

However, the case was referred back to UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body to impose a new sanction, leading to Friday’s verdict.
