Poison, passion, waiting. Terms that mix on the banks of the Crati in this period in which the ball has stopped and we sigh to experience football in a different way.
The interest of the entrepreneur Vincenzo Rota for Cosenza returns to life. After a first meeting that took place last week, there was a cooling off between the parties but the possible sale of the club to the CEO of Salumificio San Vincenzo is not a closed issue. In fact, in the last few hours, contacts have resumed between the lawyer Francesco Caputo, a person very close to Eugenio Guarascio, and the well-known accountant Luca Di Donna, who is closely following the situation on behalf of Rota.
The talks of these days are moving with a view to organizing a new face-to-face meeting, after some hesitations emerged in the first one from the entourage of the entrepreneur involved in the food sector. The numbers and debt exposure presented by the owner of Cosenza during the first approaches were not convincing. We will therefore engage in dialogue to bring the positions closer together. Also softening Guarascio’s demands.
The figure of the entrepreneur Rota has been linked to football for several years. Its industrial reality, in fact, has accompanied several top-flight companies for years. The CEO of Salumificio San Vincenzo, a company with consolidated exports to various non-European countries, boasts some relevant friendships in the world of football.
Furthermore, these weeks remain delicate with regards to the stadium issue. The Cosenza-“Marulla” combination has been under discussion for over a month. The public municipal council was initially welcomed with enthusiasm by the fans who have long hoped that the Via Conforti club could be deprived of the city facility, which will soon be affected by the restyling financed by Cipess. Yesterday, with this in mind, an interim meeting was held between representatives of the Municipality and the planners. An important stage towards the presentation of the executive project to the Supervisory Commission, at which time the technical body will monitor compliance with the safety conditions.
In the first phase, the works will affect the “Bergamini” south curve, as was already abundantly illustrated seven months ago. The setting up of the construction site and the start of work will not interfere with the sporting framework. It will not, therefore, preclude the holding of internal matches in the event that Cosenza continues to play at the “Marulla”.
