Well, my level of Schadenfreude doesn't quite match yours, but it's always nice to see fiscal irresponsibility rewarded.

Call me a nancy boy, but I don't really enjoy watching regular fans suffer. Although I have absolutely no sympathy for the fat cats who own and run the clubs.

i think the person who started this thread could do with a stiff slap.
Its is shocking to see such great teams from italy having to struggle. Any real football fan would never want to see some of the games true greats dissappear like fiorentia, And have teams like inter struggleing for cash.

How wonderful.

Whatever. These clubs have only themselves to blame. The Bundesliga has had to pass on the best foreigners in recent years for reasons of fiscal responsibility, while Serie A has (over)spent itself into debt. What goes around comes around.

They're not the only ones with issues. The same thing is occuring in England, Holland, and Germany. I'm not sure about Spain outside of Real having pulled off a one time deal to clear the debts only to start to rack them back up via buying ZZ.

prk166, I can't speak for the other leagues, but the Bundesliga is experiencing problems of a temporary nature. The guy who owns the league's TV rights went bankrupt. The clubs themelves have for the most part been very fiscally responsible and not overpaid for players, in contrast to the situation in Italy.
