Classy move by the Italian teams. Except for Cesena.
Quote:
Italy's top football teams voted to give Parma a five million-euro ($5.5 million) emergency fund on Friday in order help the club finish the season.
Sixteen of the 20 clubs in Serie A voted in favour of the measure. Roma, Napoli and Sassuolo abstained, and only Cesena voted against the move.
The measure means last-place Parma should be able to play Atalanta on Sunday, after their previous two matches -- at home with Udinese and at Genoa -- were postponed indefinitely because the club couldn't pay for basic services such as security and electricity.
The vote follows Sky television writing a letter to the Lega Serie A demanding that everything be done to ensure that Parma's game with Atalanta, and all of their remaining fixtures this season, go ahead as scheduled.
Parma have been sold twice this season, players have not been paid in months, and a bankruptcy hearing has been set for March 19.
