Reus suspended from professional football for three years LaLiga 123 Catalan club in severe financial difficulty

Reus have been handed a three-year suspension from professional football and a 250,000 euros fine by the judge of social discipline at LaLiga.

The LaLiga 123 side are in severe financial difficulty, with reports suggesting players had not been paid.

Reus will now be automatically removed from the second tier of Spanish football and their remaining players are free to sign for other clubs.

From this point in the season on, each of Reus's scheduled opponents will be given an automatic 1-0 win and three points, but the results from the games that have already been played will stand.

Furthermore, only three other teams will now be relegated.

The Catalan club are at risk of going out of business, but, should they be saved by their new American owner then they will be able to appeal the punishment handed out to them.
