Tavecchio says not only results count

(ANSA) - Milan, October 20 - Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC) President Carlo Tavecchio said Thursday that he wants promotion to Serie A to no longer be dictated solely by results on the field.
    Tavecchio said he envisions a reform that would see clubs get a rating taking account of several factors in their sporting and financial health.
    "If you have a stadium, managers, a youth sector, the ability to get credit, turnover, the ability to go on the market and a lighting system, you can play in Serie A," Tavecchio said.
    "Otherwise, you play in another division".
    Serie B President Andrea Abodi said that, if the reforms were in place now, Crotone would not have been admitted to the Italian top flight this season.
    The Calabrian side have been playing their home games in Pescara so far this term due to problems with renovation work at their own ground. This weekend Crotone, who are in Serie A for the first time, will play their first game at their Scida Stadium, against Napoli next weekend, after winning a special dispensation from the league.
