    Messina has effectively gone out of business. Saddled with debts the chairman could not attract investors and resigned from Serie B in July. According to FIGC rules all their players were made redundant. On August 1st it was decided that Messina would play in Serie D next season. It looks like this is the end of the Sicilian team that was only relegated from Serie A a year ago. Sad Crying or Very sad

    Agree Tweeds it is terrible, but big problem was stadium. They built a new one that was hard to get to and it put them in debt.
