TheTetteyRole 0 Posted June 22, 2015 Parma have just been demoted to 4th division Italian football. Any of their players worth a look in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted June 22, 2015 Is it too simplistic and / or obvious to say if they have been relegated that low, the answer is probably no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted June 22, 2015 I think due to the bankruptcy and no one had been paid for around a year, they don''t technically have any players anymore.This has been rumbling on all season and anyone worth sniping had agreed to move to another club before the end of the season.

E questa la parte bella.. PARMA sarà sempre la mia seconda casa, anche in D tiferò per te.. Io non posso fare niente ma la gente che ti ha rovinato deve pagare.. Non e possibile rovinare persone, famiglie e soprattutto sogni ! Il mio era uno.. Quello di giocare tanti anni qui, di fare tante presenze e perche no usare la fascia 💪sogno rovinato 😔 !

mrs miggins 0 Posted June 22, 2015 Jose Mauri (CM) is worth getting, must admit I''ve only seen him as a sub but he must only be about 20 and is highly thought of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One figure struck me, though, especially as it was meant to be shocking. Namely that the combined debt of Serie A clubs last season was $1.8bn. To put that in context the latest figure for the combined debt of Premier League clubs is more than £2bn - or well over $3bn. It seems, as exemplified by Manenti, is that the Italian definition of a fit and proper person is even looser then ours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted June 23, 2015 [quote user="PurpleCanary"]the Italian definition of a fit and proper person is even looser then ours.[/quote]Speaking of Italians and fit and proper persons, how about the latest coming out of Leeds?........http://www.espnfc.co.uk/leeds-united/story/2501906/leeds-owner-massimo-cellino-fined-over-car-tax-evasionYou have to wonder what sort of tests are put in place to decide who is "fit and proper".

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,204 Posted June 25, 2015 Purple,Don''t know if you read the "Mings" thread, but the figure being quoted is £8m.This figure is comprised (apparently) of x cash and two Bournemouth players going in the other direction.In Italy, there had been a hugely prevalent culture of part ownership of players.My point to you is this: Given the above statements, what is the value of the players in question? How might the numbers be accounted for? Who might benefit from an accord between parties on the above..?Let''s lead the witness a little... In the case of Mings, the only real issue is the net amount handed over to Ipswich by Bournemouth. If this is agreed at (say) £2m, then the accounted figures could basically be £68m for Pitman/ a.n.other and £70m for Mings.On such valuations can Italian players (asset) valuations be made...e non solo l''Italia...Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a certain amount of lattitude there for creative accounting. But I am shocked, shocked (as Captain Renault would say) by your implication that such underhand practices might extend beyond Italy even to England, acknowledged by the discerning French as the home of "le fair-play"...
