This is about the sort of punishments I expected. I was quite sure Juve would go down and AC would get off relatively lightly.
Will Juve start next season on -30 points or have 30 points taken away at the end of the season? And what will happen to their superstars? I'm presuming they won't want to play in Serie B.

I guess a lot of the big names will go. Word is with the loss of lots of players Juve might struggle to stay in Serie B.

This is pretty funny, but also quite upsetting to see these once great teams have their names and reputations tainted with scandal forever.

Good and bad. Good because it means we could get some big name players in the Premierleague, but Serie A will be pretty boring.

Juve won't go bust, Juve are freakin rich. I bet their game attendance drops even more though, I mean for a top team they don't manage to fill their stadium in Seri A, so god knows what Seri B matches will be like.
I'm more annoyed that Lazio and Fiorentina are relegated. Although Lazio more, mainly due to Channel4's Football italia coverage and during the mid/late 90's when they had a fair bit of success. Fiorentina because they got into europe last season and I quite like the way they play, also Luca Toni was awesome.
I doubt the Premiership will see many firesale players, all the big names will bugger off to spain (or mainly real madrid) then the lesser players will end up at other Seri A clubs.
I suppose maybe Inter might be able to win the league this season with only Milan to contend with, but Milan will have less games to play with no Champions league football so they will probably end up winning the title again.

It's strange how Milan was involved but they didn't get relegated, I wonder if it had something to do with Mr Berlusconi? Or does he no longer have a stake in the club anymore.

So are they expelled from the Champions League forever or just this season?

They'll have players, if any of thier first team leaves (and not all will), they'll get plenty of money for them, and they can also bring players into their first team that they keep as well. The players arn't on free transfers, so even if they did leave, Juve still have plenty of money to buy the better players from Serie B. They might struggle to the lowe middle of the table next season, but I can't see them not having any decent lpayers left after all of this and they'd have to do very, very badly even with the 30 points taken away to not be out of relegation by the end of the season. Also I think AC Milan got away too lightly.

Just because they wern't as involved, they were still involved, which should have left them in Serie B with no points deducted imo. Just being deducted 15 points from Serie A, they could be the champions again by the end of next season.

As far as I know the players didn't know (or at least, allegedly didn't know). However, I think I remember reading that Gianluigi Buffon is soon to be charged for illegally betting on matches, although I assume that's a completely unrelated incident.

If you mean Gianluca Pessotto (Juventus ex-player and now sporting director), he sustained "multiple fractures and internal bleeding" but should be fine.

Who was higher in SerieA Fiorentina or Lazio ?
If Lazio were healthier in pointage it has a chance of becoming a stronger team than it is now if the Club Spirit lasts through one Season. They play SerieB teams who will give them no quarter & if their line-up remains intact they could definitely say they'd earned their place in the top flight if they fight back & do'nt get bogged down in a rats & ship policy.
