Two decades since the southern Italian team of Napoli lured Diego Maradona
into its ranks and won its first two Serie A championships, a supporters' group has come up with a plan to revive the club that now plays in Italy's second
division.
Napoli has no means to land a major international star, such as Ronaldinho,
whose Barcelona buyout clause is 134 euros ($117 million). But the Partenopei's faithful have a scheme: they're trying to raise 2 million euros to place a 67-1
bet that Napoli will sign the Brazilian -- a wager that would yield 134 Euros.
