The Italian club, Parma, who have seen numerous matches postponed due to
insufficient funding have been sold twice already this season, with
players and staff not being paid in months.
The former
UEFA Cup winners feared they may have had to pull out of the league due
to their debts estimated at a value of 100 million euros, but after
the vote the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) have agreed to give the
club a loan of five million euros to cover their outgoings until May.
"The resolution was adopted confirming the willingness of the league
to help Parma continue in the championship," said Serie A president
Maurizio Beretta in a statement.
"If the club is passed over to a
bankruptcy administrator on March 19, we shall intervene. We'll decide
how exactly to intervene along with the administrator."
He added
that Italian football federation president Carlo Tavecchio would travel
to Parma to put the proposed plan to the players.
Sixteen
out of the 20 clubs in Serie A voted in favour of Parma being granted
the emergency funding to keep them playing until the end of May.
Cesena,
sitting one place above Parma, were the only club in the league to vote
against with three clubs abstaining from voting at all.
