Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina all relegated to the 2nd Division.

Juve stripped of their last two league titles and given a 30 point deduction at the start of the new season. Lazio given 12 point deduction and Fiorentina 7.

AC Milan remain in Serie A but have 15 point deduction at the start of next season.

All teams are banned from European competition. All teams plan to appeal.

If appeal fails, a mass exodus of players from the three relegated clubs and those Milan players wanting European football is expected.

Thoughts?

Well, Cheva left just in time. Though I don't see why other players from Milan would leave, they only miss one year of CL, it's not worth the transfer. For Fiorentina, Juve and Lazio, can't really say what will happen. Lazio players are not that wanted, so I expect them to move to (small) Serie A clubs, or, maybe somewhere in Spain. I honestly think there's quite a good chance Lazio won't make it back to the Serie A in just one year, and the players know this too. Then there's Fiorentina, and it seems obvious that Luca Toni will leave. He's having a good time at his club, but he's ready for the big business, and this is the best time to leave. However, I can't think of a club where he would move to, with big players (mostly striker) I always suggest Real Madrid, but they got Van Nistelrooy already. Then of course Juventus, who will not make it back to the Serie A very soon, since they need about half a season before scoring points (and the Serie B isn't that weak). So, massive move-out. Trezeguet and Thuram might move (back to France?), Mutu is already sure to move to Fiorentina (replacing Toni, probably), Ibrahimovic never minds leaving a club (but isn't as wanted as ever, didn't play well at the Worldcup), Nedved is getting old, so might want to return to Czech Republic (Sparta Prague?), Buffon woukld love to stay, but the probably best goalkeeper in the world can't play Serie B for two seasons (so think of any club in need of a good goalkeeper). Captain Del Piero will stay, and Cannavaro to Inter?
Actually, I don't have a clue on what's going to happen.

Don't change these.
