When every day is potentially a good day but doesn’t become one, anxiety rises. This also applies to the sale of Reggina, for which there were those who already imagined things could materialize yesterday. At least with a first signature on a preliminary contract. None of this happened and today we remain at the point of yesterday and the day before yesterday: the group led by Matt Rizzetta and the selling party have found an agreement, but there is nothing written yet. All the conditions set by the selling party would have been accepted after the counter-proposal arising following the last offer negotiated last week. According to what is filtered, the Italian-American group led by the president of Campobasso is already ready to start the new adventure. Complete with an outgoing bank transfer as a deposit for the agreement, but the green light has not yet arrived from the emissaries who are following the negotiation in Italy.
As anticipated for days, there would already be a new organizational chart defined and already in charge of starting the technical project. What we are experiencing is a stalemate phase in which twists and turns cannot be ruled out. Everyone reads the wait in the way they prefer. There are also those who hypothesize that this time window could become useful in leaving space for new potential buyers to come forward. In fact, Rizzetta’s is not the only interest that has arisen in recent weeks for the Amaranth club, but no one has chosen to expose themselves and move concretely like him. The usual silence that accompanies the current ownership of Reggina in the crucial phases remains almost a trademark and it was difficult for things to change in these days. So much so that perhaps only the communication strategies of this three-year period appeared worse than the unsuccessful results obtained in the field in an amateur dimension.
While waiting to understand whether the white smoke with Rizzetta will arrive or not, the certainty is that time is running out. When we have now reached June 4th, in the collective imagination the main concern concerns the construction of the team.
From the outside, however, there is a tendency to underestimate the possibility that Reggina is experiencing a phase of total organizational immobility as a sports club. There is, for example, no news regarding the organization of the pre-season training camp. It could be held at Sant’Agata as in recent years. But what will the conditions of Sant’Agata be in a month’s time? Is there any certainty that the facility will be affected by the same routine maintenance that it would have had without an ongoing change of ownership? Is there a risk that in a few weeks the fields will not be ready to host training sessions? Since this is a sports center owned by the Metropolitan City, it is hoped that someone will also take care of it at an institutional level.
