Inter should have been relegated

Further investigations have led to the discovery that Inter, Milan, and Livorno, should have been relegated in 2006. Instead, it was Juventus who was moved to Serie B after the high profile scandals, while AC Milan suffered a point penalty.

However, no action can be taken now due to the statute of limitations. Inter will be stripped of their 2006 title, though.

Sad stuff. If you're a Juve fan, that has to piss you off something fierce.

I wouldn't go feeling too sorry for Juve if i were you...I watched that case quite closely when it was going on and i have watched an in depth documentary about the whole thing since the judgements were handed down...Juve were most definitely not hard done to whatever the latest findings may be attempting to make you think...They were by far the worst and most pro active offenders, the scale of their attempts to control not only the refs but those in charge of the refs was beyond ridiculous..

I don't know why there has been an attempt to make Juve look less dirty than they are, because the original case showed they were without doubt corrupt as f*ck...My guess is, since the original findings, they have used the clubs power and connections in Italy to make sure the new findings were seen more through black and white tinted specs as opposed to clearly as they surprisingly were in the first investigation..

The Italian League was the greatest in the world in the mid 90's but they messed it up all on their own.
