Juventus Docked 15 points

[Argyleloyal]

Juventus have been deducted 15 points by an Italian football court investigating its transfer dealings, the national football association said on Friday.

With 20 games left to play in this season, Juve were third in Serie A, 10 points adrift of leaders Napoli. The points deduction would push them down into mid-table, outside the spots for European competition.

Usual anti-Juve bias in Italy.

You mean ‘usual corruption’ in Italy

Not for nothing are they known (and despised) as Rubentus across Italy ( rubare means to steal, in Italian). Like so many bullies and cheats, they choose to wear the word Victim (or Vittima) on their forehead.

This is an excellent read by anyone who's interested in the underbelly of Italian football. Strongly recommended.

They have have seen their 15 point Serie A penalty revoked pending a new trial, it has been confirmed.
The added points will see the Serie A giants jumps from 7th place to 3rd ahead of Jose Mourinho’s Roma.

Excellent!

This revocation has been coming. Juventus is an establishment club, being corrupt to the core is of no interest when the powers that be have your back. Anyone with any sense outside northern Turin should loath them.

I am getting through that book BB. Quite an eye opener. But the author is wrong in saying that the Ultras have little interest in the matches. Another book worth reading if you are interested in Calcio and its warm underbelly is “A Season with Verona” by Tim Parks. Da boi!!!

Oh what a bleddy surprise!
As everyone knows, they are corrupt to the core and should be relegated immediately to Serie Z!!
The only saving grace is it knocks Milan out of the CL places, temporarily at least
