MORE NEWS ON PARMA or HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN Bankrupt club Parma will have to play in the FOURTH tier of Italian football after no buyer was found by the deadline. Parma's hopes of avoiding demotion to the amateur division were all but ended when former Major League Baseball player Mike Piazza pulled out of talks to buy the club. In March, Parma were declared bankrupt with debts of more than 200 million euros. The club finished bottom of Serie A last season. Steve wrote the above in 2015. Well, whatdyaknow.... 2015-16...Parma gain promotion to the THIRD tier. 2016-17...Parma gain promotion to the SECOND tier. 2017-18...Parma gain promotion back to SERIE A for next season! That really is some recovery. Well done to all concerned.

Italian third division team Pro Piacenza have been thrown out of the league after fielding just seven players in a 20-0 defeat on Sunday.
All seven players to face Cuneo were teenagers, with captain Nicola Cirigliano, 18, doubling up as manager.
Prior to Sunday's match they had failed to fulfil three successive fixtures.
The club, who are in serious financial trouble and were bottom of Serie C Group A, have been unable to pay their players and staff.
An eighth player could not start Sunday's match having forgotten his identity papers, and the team's physiotherapist came on a substitute.
On Monday, the league's governing body ruled some of the players were not registered and disqualified the team from the competition, handing Cuneo a 3-0 walkover.
Lega Pro also fined Pro Piacenza 20,000 euros (£17,500), criticising the club's "unacceptable behaviour" and describing the match as a "farce" and "dangerous"
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said club affiliation had been revoked because of "serious regulatory violations that occurred at the Cuneo-Pro Piacenza match, in addition to the numerous other documented irregularities".
