Sampdoria are carrying a huge debt and have ownership issues, matters which might come to a head this summer now that relegation has crystallised things. Far too big and good a club to be in Serie B for long. I hope.know that Samp are losing currently and going down but they haven’t shown anything that suggests they’ll be back soon. Such a shame.
Atalanta’s win today was good but I’m sure they’ll be frustrated as if they won the games that they honestly should, they’d be in the top 4. I say this but Lazio and the lot of them messed up in their winnable games.
Think we’ve all been in agreement that everyone, save Napoli, in the top third of the division is hopelessly inconsistent, which has certainly added to the excitement but it’s made predicting anything a mug’s game.
Have to tip the hat to Monza this season. They only came up via the playoffs last year but sit well ahead of both Lecce and Cremonese, who came up automatically. They could yet finish 8th, and while I know they’re Berlusconi owned, I’m particularly happy for Pablo Mari, once of the CFG. He’s recovered from that horrible stabbing incident in the autumn and has been a mainstay in their defence since he returned; they’ve only lost three games in the last twenty-one.
