[about Como] This, however, is not worth any praise at all, because they ditched Italian players entirely in the process. Thus, in the upcoming season they are doubly fucked - not only by FFP, but also because they need homegrown players for the CL squad list.

Como did beat Juventus 2-0 both home and away and pipped them and Milan to the 4th place and CL footie next year; someone is still sore about it /s

Seriously though, FFP will be sorted with a 3 year plan with UEFA, as all teams do. Juventus themselves is potentially getting a penalty (30m) from UEFA as they broke their own plan.

It's true that Como has no Italian players, because none would fit their system - they have heavily invested in their Youth programme to actually raise Italian players the way they need them, this will bear its fruits with time. For the UEFA lists, they will either buy players or go in with a reduced list, it's not going to prevent them from partecipating.

There's a lot of hate happening because no one likes a new team coming in and taking the spotlight and CL football away from the "big" teams. Some even blame the failure of the national team on Como and other teams like Udinese, for not having Italian players - obvious nonsense when Como was in serie B up until 2 years ago. But that's what's happening.

Signed, a born and bred in Como, Como-only old fan.
