I hadn't even thought of this, but is there not every chance that Juve could now suffer a subsequent relegation? I don't know what the division below Serie B is in Italy (logic would have it, Serie C), but given that the two teams that played off for the last relegation place in 2005/2006 were on 46 points, that would mean Juve would need to find 76 points.
So basically, if they want to survive next year, they would need promotion form throughout the season (which sounds strange enough). I think that is ridiculous and far too harsh. Given that it wont be easy for Juve next year, with all the controversy surrounding them, the poor morale, and the exodus of players, I imagine that even if they'd started on 0 points, they still wouldn't secure promotion. The Italian Federation has effectively sent them down two divisions, which is OTT in my opinion. I think making it so that it was unlikely they'd go straight back up (by deducting, say, 10/15 points) is more rational, and certainly enough punishment to act as a deterrent to others.
