Parma chief Pietro Leonardi is adamant they won't go down.
Parma are bottom of the table going into tonight's game with Torino.
"We are not going into Serie B," insisted Leonardi. "There are years when everything goes great and years when it all goes wrong. Football is enjoyable precisely because it gives you joy and suffering. I am accustomed to suffering and we won't let go.
"Will I leave Parma? People have been saying that for six years and I'm still here. I am too fond of this place and I'm no coward."
