January 14, 2011: Serie A Deducts More Points from Bologna over Financial Problems

2011-01-14

The Serie A disciplinary committee deducts two points from Bologna after the football club again fails to pay its players’ wages. In addition, club president Sergio Porcedda is suspended for six months and chief executive Silvino Marras for two months and 20 days. The previous month, Bologna was docked one point for failing to pay players’ wages in May and June. The points deduction means Bolonga falls from 10th to 15th in the league, and is now only four points clear of the relegation zone. [SoccerNews(.com), 1/14/2011]
