Parma handed further points deduction

The Italian Football Federation has announced Parma will be deducted a further four points in relation to its financial irregularities.

Parma's faint hopes of surviving in Serie A this season have been dealt a huge blow after suffering another points deduction.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced Thursday Roberto Donadoni's side will be docked another four points as part of its punishment for not paying its players and subsequently being declared bankrupt with debts of 218 million Euros.

It is the third time this season the beleaguered club has been punished by the FIGC and makes its relegation to Serie B almost inevitable.
