	The Voyageurs: Canadian Soccer Supporters - Fiorentina in Serie B??
		Catania was relagated to serie C in May, promoted to serie B in June, relagated to serie C again in July and promoted back to serie B in August.
		Calcio is in chaos this summer with the unprecedented decision to extend Serie B from 20 to 24 teams.
		I presume the main reason why serie B teams have a problem with a 24 team league is that it would make it more difficult to win promotion to serie A (more competition) and more likely to get relegated (you would have to relagate at least 6 teams).

	Welcome back Fiorentina! - Juventuz Forums
		They earned promotion and bought back the name AC Fiorentina at auction, but the expansion of Serie B last summer saw them included in the new 24-team division due to “sporting merit.” A sixth-place finish qualified them for this play-off and it is Perugia who go down.
		With 2-1 victory at the Stadio Franchi, Perugia would have won the play-off on away goals, so the final stages were extremely tense, but Fiorentina held on through four minutes of stoppages to seal their return to the cream of Calcio.
		Next year’s 20-team Serie A is now complete, while Cesena and Crotone won their play-offs to enter Serie B, joining League winners Arezzo and Catanzaro.
