In light of the demotions and points deductions imposed on the match-fixing four in Italy, I was wondering: what is the most severe penalty ever imposed on a club for match-fixing?" asks Melane Sauce.
Fiorentina were forcibly disbanded in 2002, but that was for bankruptcy, and all anecdotal evidence suggests that Juventus's punishment - relegation to Serie B, a 30-point deduction for next season (reduced to 17 on appeal) and the loss of their 2005 and 2006 scudettos - is the most severe to be handed out for match-fixing in the game's modern history.
Marseille were stripped of the French title that they won in 1992-93, and later relegated for financial irregularities, while AC Milan and Lazio were demoted in 1980 for their part in Italy's infamous Totonero scandal.
But none of them started the next season on -30 points, or with Mauro Camoranesi: and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in their squad. Anyone know of any more severe punishments?
