How boring will Serie A get man? And considering the amount of money (or the lack of it) they will get from playing in Serie B for at least 1 or 2 seasons, they can't afford to keep their players. Even if they have the money, would the egoistic players stay to play in Serie B? I just can't foresee Buffon, Cannavaro, or Nedved playing in Serie B. They'll leave I guess. Just like what happened to Leeds United after they were relegated. Alan Smith, Rio Ferdinand etc.
