The “Moggi System”

Tue, May 16th 2006

James Richardson in Guardian Football:

Moggi has had to resign at Juve and is facing charges ranging from intimidation to kidnapping and criminal conspiracy. Juventus meanwhile stand accused of sporting fraud, as beneficiaries of what police have dubbed the “Moggi System”. This consists of assigning friendly referees for Juve games, finding unfriendly ones for their rivals, and making sure future opponents were “softened up” with judicious use of the red card.

...Depending on the outcome of the investigations, Juventus, Lazio, Fiorentina and possibly even Milan could be penalised or relegated…

...the chances of the various investigations being settled by August are slimmer than Nicole Ritchie, what with the likely appeals and such. How next season can begin on schedule (on August 27) is anyone’s guess, as we likely still won’t know by then who should be in it.
