Following Parmalat's financial scandal in 2003-04, the team announced it was to be bought in 2005 by former Real Madrid chairman Lorenzo Sanz, and was reincorporated at that time as Parma Football Club. However, successively Sanz renounced to conclude the bid. Despite all their troubles, Parma FC played a fairly good season, led by team stars such as Marco Marchionni, Domenico Morfeo and Mark Bresciano, and managed by head coach Mario Beretta, being able to avoid relegation in advance of four matches to the end of the championship. Beretta left Parma after the end of the season, and Stefano Pioli, from Modena F.C., was appointed as his replacement.

On January 24, 2007, Tommaso Ghirardi was announced as new owner of Parma FC, following a public auction sale. Ghirardi, a 31-year-old entrepreneur and owner of Serie C2 club Carpenedolo, became also chairman of Parma FC, ending three years of state-controlled management. On February 12, second-last placed Parma fired head coach Pioli and replaced him with Claudio Ranieri who, against overwhelming odds, managed to avoid the relegation of the team (at the last match of the season).

Formation

As the squad stands now, it will lean towards a domaint 5 man midfield with a lone striker up front.

Ares to Strengthen

First thing is you need quality everywhere. You have $4.8M to spend on transfers, so you will need to either loan some quality in or be very shrewd in the your transfer dealings. I would loan in a striker or two up front and invest in a solid Keeper and Centre Back if funds allow.

Your Best

Daniele Dessena - A stand out player at 20yrs, will be one of teh players who your squad will be built around.

The Plan

Jumping into Parma isnt for the faint hearted, you will need a degree of patience and the knack of managing your wage bill as expansion of your stadium is very unlikely. Therefore you will need to develop your youth players and sell for profit, being careful not letting your star players leave. The plan of bringing the glory days of the 90's back to Parma, is only 2-3 seasons away and with right buys and a little luck could see you in the hunt for Sliverware.

Good Luck.
