Teams

Three of the five relegated teams from the previous Liga I season, Timișoara, Gloria Bistrița and Unirea Urziceni, did not apply for a Liga II license. The latter club was dissolved, while the first two appealed the relegation decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and did not to apply for Liga II licenses. Previously they were denied Liga I licenses for the 2011–12 season and were relegated, despite finishing on non-relegating spots. Their cases were dismissed by the CAS on July 18.[2] (See 2011–12 Liga I licensing controversies.) On July 8, the Executive Committee of the FRF decided to accept Timișoara and Gloria Bistrița in this season of Liga II despite not requesting a license, arguing the decision as taken in consideration for their respective cities and supporters.[3] Also relegated from the first division, Universitatea Craiova was temporary excluded by FRF from all internal competitions.[4] Juventus București were spared from relegation instead.[1] Additionally, Timișoara would not have the right to promote, falling the three-year rule of the Financial Fair Play Regulations.[5][6][7]

gollark: I'd hope it is a mod interaction issue and they've at least reported it to the modpack author, but who knows really.
gollark: And if it's fixed by disabling the mod... well, it's at least a mod interaction issue; has this person *never* heard of responsible disclosure?!
gollark: I would like to talk to this person and complain at them.
gollark: Anyway, what version?
gollark: Also argument to authority is really annoying.
