Messina, updated priorities: sports debt and market

Having closed the issue of the enforcement of the guarantee deposited last year in Lega Pro, the Racing City Group staff is committed to taking the necessary steps to definitively settle at the helm of Messina, taking over at a federal level from the club in liquidation and concluding the expiring temporary exercise.

Specifically, the working group is now focusing on the balance of the sports debt (290 thousand euros), which could be done with liquidity rather than with surety coverage. Evaluations are underway, so we are also working under the radar on the documents to be defined to meet all the requirements set out in the notice of the curatorship and for affiliation with the FIGC.

CEO Morris Pagniello and President Justin Davis have left town, but will return soon. The former is expected as early as next week for other important events, while the Australian should meet again at the end of the month to obviously also stay for the long-awaited event on December 1st to celebrate 125 years of football in Messina with a special evening, from which the new ownership expects a lot in terms of participation and return of image.
There are many hot fronts, from those linked to the commercial development of the project to the market.

Before leaving, the two greatest exponents met the coach Pippo Romano at the “Marullo”, who together with the sporting director Giovanni Martello is continuing a work of great quality and heart to bring the team to safety. As agreed in the last meetings, 4-5 additions are planned to improve the workforce and achieve the objectives. There are several names in the notebook, but the aim is not to make wrong choices, identifying elements that have certain characteristics on both a technical and human level, capable of integrating well into the group that is doing excellent things. Priority to attack, the department that most needs to be strengthened. Specifically, two profiles have been identified, one which plays in Group I and the other which is located in the centre-north. Both are still tied, so they will eventually have to leave their reference companies before joining the Acr. In the group there is still the winger Ranieri Ruffino, born in 2004 who could soon be registered. Among the ideas, also that of finding a full-back defender.
