The Serie B chaos continues, as the TAR reverses its own decision to allow appeals by Pro Vercelli and Ternana.
The second division has been in crisis all summer, as Avellino, Bari and Cesena all went bankrupt and couldn’t register for the new season.
Rather than replacing them, FIGC commissioner Roberto Fabbricini passed a decree to allow the season to start with only 19 teams.
After an appeal was thrown out, the season started with one side getting a rest day in each round.

The second division has been in crisis all summer, as Avellino, Bari and Cesena all went bankrupt and couldn’t register for the new season.
Rather than replacing them, FIGC commissioner Roberto Fabbricini passed a decree to allow the season to start with only 19 teams.
After an appeal was thrown out, the season started with one side getting a rest day in each round.
There was then an appeal to the Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale, which accepted the appeals of Pro Vercelli and Ternana to suspend Fabbricini's reform.
Now a new decree has been signed by President Germana Panzironi declaring the appeals against a 19 team division to be inadmissible.
That means the TAR has essentially contradicted its own decision in the same section of the court, but with a different President.
It’s not yet clear what this will mean for the appeals, but if they are denied then an appeal to the Consiglio di Stato is likely.
Yesterday the Italian Olympic Committee, CONI, announced that the division would be suspended, but the Lega Serie B then denied that.
