Sasa_Papac_No1_Fan 605 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Parma forced to call off Udinese match as cash crisis worsens Last Updated: 20/02/15 6:12pm 0 Alessandro Lucarelli, Raffaele Palladino and Zouhair Feddal look dejected as Parma lose again Parma's Serie A clash with Udinese on Sunday has been postponed as a financial crisis continues to plague the club. Sky Bet Parma v Udinese Parma 2/1 Draw 11/5 Udinese 7/5 Football Betting Bet £5 Get £20 Free Players and other staff have not been paid since the summer and new owner Giampietro Manenti has failed to make the minimum payments against debt which were due on February 16. With cash levels dipping to dangerously low levels, the club asked to play Sunday's match behind closed doors as they were unable to fund matchday stewards. But players and coaches from both clubs have "expressed discomfort" over that proposition, leading the Italian Football Federation to order a postponement following a meeting held in the northern city on Friday. An FIGC statement read: "The president has taken note of Parma's request that Parma-Udinese, originally scheduled for February 22, take place exclusively behind closed doors. "He has heard from the Italian Footballers' Association and the Italian Association of Soccer Coaches who have expressed discomfort of players and coaches from both teams about playing behind closed doors. "Decision: the rearrangement of the game to another date which will be decided by the Lega Serie A." Players losing patience Frustration is also growing among the playing staff, with training cancelled on Friday, while team coaches and vehicles were seized from their Collecchio training base earlier this week. They have won only three games all season and are 13 points adrift of safety. Captain Alessandro Lucarelli said: "We've had a meeting with the president (Manenti) and what has emerged is the difficulty in bringing the money to Italy. "He has reiterated that he will try to give us some guarantees in the next 24 hours. But our patience has a limit. We are a united group and we have given the club an ultimatum. The time is running out. We need facts, not words." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 if they've been relegated with immediate effect, I take it the rest of their games this season will be cancelled and they will start next season in the 2nd tier?

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Reports coming out of Italy suggest that Parma have been dissolved, just a day after the cash-starved club was forced to postpone its Serie A game with Udinese while an 11th-hour attempt to save the club was underway.The club have reportedly racked up a debt of €197 million and were forced to call off Sunday's game because they couldn't afford to pay stewards to attend the match at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.Owner Giampietro Manenti hasn't paid players or staff at the club, currently sitting rock bottom of the table with just 10 points, for the majority of the season.But now that cash reserves have finally run out, the Italian Football Federation has been forced to dissolve the club and automatically relegate them.According to Parma youth team coach Hernan Crespo, the situation has gotten so bad at the once proud club that they can't even afford bottles of water during training sessions.While no official confirmation has yet been given, it is understood that all of Parma's remaining games this year will be recorded as 3-0 losses.

Italian bankruptcy law seems a lot more fluid than over here, football clubs fold and reform very frequently. Normally the name is slightly different but the history transfers over pretty seamlessly.

Shortbread 28 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Italian bankruptcy law seems a lot more fluid than over here, football clubs fold and reform very frequently. Normally the name is slightly different but the history transfers over pretty seamlessly.Parma have been through this already. This one might be harder for them to bounce back from. One thing I've never understood about Parma is the fact they must have the biggest playing squad in Europe. It's mental the amount of players they have out on loan at other clubs.
