I think that the current situation with football in Italy is very well connected with the title of one of the most popular films of the last period: “Multiverse Madness”. This is because there is no reality that works for everyone, games with the same rules at all levels.
We are going through a registration deadline for various leagues and in Serie C, as usual, we have spent hours waiting to see how many and which of the 60 eligible clubs would miss the chance. However, to date, none of them has failed this appointment. Also Messina, Teramo As well as Triestina, the most discussed ones (even by me) did well. Is everything quiet then? Let’s turn the page and focus only on the transfer market and next season, shall we? No. Obviously. Because it’s one thing to ask to register for a sporting event, it’s another thing to get it accepted. And here attention falls on the three that we talked about earlier. With special attention to Teramo, who, despite the intervention of the ex-patron in extremism Franco Yakini he could not fix the liquidity ratio. Doubts remain about the other two, but so far in a milder form. The ball now goes to Covisoc, who are tasked with reviewing all documentation and giving the green light to each of the companies in question. Always with the obsessive thought that there will be a new Catania, or a company that regularly registers, but then, in fact, runs out of money right at this moment.
You may wonder why I talked about the “Multiverse” earlier when we are talking about series C as usual. The quote comes naturally if we expand the horizon by continuing to talk about the topic of inscriptions. As the president rightly noted in the count of hours Francesco Ghirelli: “12 million euros against 4 million 300 thousand. The first is the amount paid by presidents to Series C companies for their recapitalization and adjustment to a liquidity ratio set at 0.7% (which also applies to Series B). The second, equal to approximately one-third of the first, is the amount paid into the treasury of Serie A clubs for participation in the next championship with an index equal to 0.5%. Aside from the obvious disproportion, it is clear that football like Italy, which brews a frightening deficit of one billion and three hundred million euros every year and refuses to adjust even to a figure of just 0.5%, is distant football. … away from those recovery and sustainable development goals that are a prerequisite for restarting it.”
Translated: but the point is not that if Teramo, given that the focus for the red and white club is precisely the liquidity index, would be in Serie A (hence in the same bad position in terms of ownership, but with higher fees), would he quietly sign up for next season? And how is it possible that companies that manage to invest 40, 50, 60, 70 million euros in the market do not comply with these rules, going so far as to resort to sports justice to block them and postpone them over time, as it was done by the big names in the league?
Questions that, frankly, amaze not only me, but probably many of you. Unfortunately, the reality of the system operating in our beautiful country is this. So, in a few days, we’ll find ourselves giving enough space to the possible dropouts from Series C by labeling the third series as the only sick one when instead, as always, the fish stinks from the head. But woe to say this, it would be a sin of treason.
