There would be the availability of Doudou Cissè to “sell” the company – without having unpacking a euro – to those who want to save it in extremis. This would be the juice of the meeting that took place yesterday afternoon at Palazzo Zanca between the mayor Federico Basile and the president Stefano Alaimo. Important step to try to save the Giallorossi ship from the shipwreck and prevent this corporate crisis for bankruptcy. Already in the day he should know more.
A group ago touched the lowest point of the season, and perhaps also of the last eight years. It was the eleventh day, Messina was defeated with a heavy 6-0 by Avellino, who will find in front of Saturday (3 pm) at the “Franco Scoglio”. It was October 27th and over four months after the Campania formation went up to second place, fighting for direct promotion, even at -5 by the leaders Cerignola, while the Giallorossi are experiencing a situation that seems to worsen week after week.
The collapse of the “Partenio” was a serious blow for a team, then as nowin the middle of the play-out but without a true identity and the character and quality to fight for a goal. The January revolution, corporate and market, did not let it imagine that the situation could further complicate and, instead, the recent events have shown the opposite. Beyond the latest negative results there is a third -last Messina and waiting for a sentence, the one on the penalty, which should arrive tomorrow, thus increasing the gap from Casertana: the current -3 from the Campania (28 against 25 points) could expand to -7 with the possible 4 penalty points after the non -payment of the contributions in mid -February. A distance that would bring Messina closer to a bitter verdict without going from the playouts (they play up to -8), with the further possible points to be removed linked to the exclusions of Taranto and Turris, but which obviously will also be removed from Casertana herself and all the group companies.
Calculations that, at the moment, the Giallorossi cannot afford and have to think only of the field. Difficult undertaking, but it cannot be done differently: the corporate crisis has further strengthened the group spirit of the Biancoscudati, who have compactly and, day after day, are giving proof of character, passion and commitment for the Giallorossi cause.
With the old man (Pietro Sciotto) and new property (Doudou Cissè and Stefano Alaimo) now distant and always silent, the role of manager and representative was touched by the sports director Domenico Roma Which, with the collaborator Francesco Ramondino, is the reference figure, always alongside the technical staff and the team, to make it feel closely and also solve problems beyond their skills. The two ko against Trapani and Monopoli were empty passages, but they did not put the physical and mental energies of the Messina to the carpet, called to a week of fire.
The internal match against Avellino is the first of three close encounters: the one against the Campania appears to be the most insidious and, on paper, it is a challenge learned, but the team cannot start defeated, also driven by the public seen against the grenades and which must continue to support it. It continues on Wednesday 12 with the midweek round on the Cavese field, and, finally, a challenge that comes out of any context and ranking speech, the derby against Catania on Sunday 16.
