Parma

Parma, is an Italian football club based in the city of Parma that currently competes in Lega Pro, the third tier of Italian football. Founded as Parma Football Club in Italian Parma Piede Palla in December 1913, the club plays its home matches in the 22,352-seat Stadio Ennio Tardini, often referred to as simply Il Tardini, from 1923. It traditionally plays attractive football and develops players through the club's academy.
Although Parma never won a domestic league title and never competed for major trophies until the 1990s, it won threeCoppa Italia, one Supercoppa Italiana, two UEFA Cups, one European Super Cup and one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Financed by Calisto Tanzi, the club won these eight trophies between 1992 and 2002, a period in which it achieved its best ever league finish – as runners-up in the 1996–97 season – and threatened the dominance of the league's established powers: Juventus, A.C. Milan and Inter Milan, the only Italian sides to have had more success in European competition than Parma.
Financial troubles were brought about in late 2003 by the Parmalat scandal which caused the parent company to collapse and resulted in the club operating in controlled administration until January 2007. The club was declared bankrupt in 2015 and re-founded in Serie D by virtue of Article 52 of N.O.I.F.

Top team wins promotion which is going to be incredibly important, the club is currently just semi-pro. We need to bring in some money quickly and the best way of doing that is turning pro and getting some TV money.


I'll be doing half season updates until I get into Serie B at least to try and fly through the save as quick as possible =)
