Italy - 12 November, 2007
Adjust font size:
The TV rights plan for Italian football was not approved by Serie B. The league turned down the rights deal, with many of the clubs terming the deal insufficient.
It's a blow for Italian football members, many of whom thought they had struck the perfect share-the-wealth accord. Instead, the league may ask for government intervention.
"We did all we could in order to meet the requirements presented by Serie B," AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani told AGI news. "But the Second League thinks that our effort was not sufficient and therefore we ended up with nothing."
Galliani called the Serie A pact still valid, but did not know what would happen without Serie B agreeing to the deal.
