Creditors representing Parma Football Club, which went bankrupt last season, are seeking to recoup as much money from the now defunct club as possible by selling their silverware. Among the items being sold at an auctions are the 1993 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup -- won at Wembley thanks to a 3-1 win over Royal Antwerp -- the 1994 UEFA Super Cup and the 1999 UEFA Cup. Interested parties can view the items on the website fallimentiparma.com and must notify the creditors of their bid by Sept. 11. Whoever makes the highest bid will have a month to pay off the balance, with a deposit of ten percent owed before the bid will be considered. In addition to several trophies won by the former Serie A club, training equipment including benches, televisions and even a pool table and 104 chairs are up for sale. The entire fixtures and fittings of the Stadio Tardini and the club's Collecchio training ground are listed on the inventory for the sale, right down to pictures on the walls and the coffee machine in the press room. Parma FC were wound up earlier this summer after no buyer was willing to take on their debts. Their sporting licence was maintained and a new club -- Parma Calcio 1913 -- was formed and approved to begin playing in Serie D, Italy's fifth division. Former coach Nevio Scala, the 67-year-old who led Parma to those three European trophies now being sold, has been named as the club's new president.
