Breaking news:


And much bigger news:

AC Milan have had their points penalty cut from 15 to 8.
Fiorentina have been reinstated in Serie A with a 19 point penalty
Lazio have been reinstated in Serie A with an 11 point penalty
Juventus have had their penalty cut from 30 to 17 points

Milan for the league, then.

Those are great great news!
my Juventus now have a better chance of making it back to the Serie A in one year since they need 13 points less and they dont have as much competition without Lazio and Fiorentina. It also increases the chance that players such as Camoranesi, Buffon and Nedved will stay or will be loaned out for one year.
It also means that now there are more strong and entertaining teams in the Serie A, will make it worth watching.
