The future of the ACR Messina remains hanging on a thread and the goal remains to find a new property through a fast procedure. In these weeks, assessments have been underway with some potential investors, but doubts remain on the reliability and seriousness of the proposals received. A postponement was asked to deepen the negotiations, while the refusal of the League risks complicating the scenario further. The picture was provided at a press conference by Maria di Renzo, curator of the company appointed by the Court of Messina, who spoke at Palazzo Zanca, alongside the mayor Federico Basile.
The cooperative that supports management has guaranteed economic and professional support, also offering useful advice to start a more stable path. The help of the local sponsors is also fundamental. The next four games will be decisive: they will serve to examine the real intentions of entrepreneurs and to understand if it will be possible to complete the season.
“The crucial node remains that of the reassignment of the sports title. Anyone who intends to acquire it will have to guarantee stringent requirements and concrete commitments, also because the accounting of the company has not always been linear. By 15 September a first certain data should arrive on the investor and the use of the denomination, with contacts already started with the Federation to accelerate the times” said Di Renzo.
The sale will take place for public evidence: without a serious proposal, the provisional exercise will not be able to go on indefinitely. The investor will have to clarify whether the purchase will concern only the debts accrued until June or even the social security contributions due to the League. The aim is to arrive at an irrevocable purchase offer, which will be advertised without indicating the investor’s name: an auction will take place on the base, with the possibility of presenting improvement offers. The procedure, in line with the crisis code, would take 30 days, but given the urgency it is aimed at halving the times: advertising for 15 days and closing in a month or a little more.
“If I hadn’t had at least a minimum of reliance on investors, I would not have started the provisional exercise, which for me represents enormous work,” explained the curator. underlining that the conditions for trying were all there, even out of respect for the city and fans. “The commitment is maximum to get to a useful result, despite the last period has not been very transparent”.
On a sporting level, the players continue to show motivation and a sense of responsibility. “I told them that they are an integral part of this attempt: the positive results could encourage fans and investors.” After October 5, however, each perspective will remain subject to the outcome of the current negotiations.
