Parma President Tommaso Ghirardi apologised to fans for the points penalty, but promised “we’ll be out of this situation by February.”

The club will be docked at least one point after failing to meet the November 17 deadline for outstanding taxes and wages.

“I admit my share of the responsibility. I apologise to the fans and the team, but I have never run away from a problem and I won’t do so now,” Ghirardi told La Gazzetta di Parma.

“The continuation of the club is guaranteed. I apologise for the inevitable points penalty that will arrive soon.

“We’ll be out of this economic situation by February, caused by a momentary lack of liquidity.”

Ghirardi had been attempting to sell the club by November 15, but the negotiations faltered.
