“If there is anyone with potential for a serious project, come forward” – BitontoLive.it

The disappointment of the last minute defeat in Casarano and the consequent relegation to Eccellenza is still burning for theUs Bitonto Calcio. But this is the time to take stock and take stock of a season that didn’t end as expected because salvation faded away, not on the last day, but perhaps along a project that hasn’t developed in an optimal way since last September. . The green-black president Antonello Orlino yesterday held a press conference – or chat, as he himself defined it – in the presence of journalists and fans, after days of silence.

Was it right to sack Valeriano Loseto in November?

We failed to achieve the goal of salvation, I made mistakes and I take responsibility for them. At that moment, it was right to act like this.

Captain Loris Palazzo wrote on social media that there was “little attachment to the shirt”.

The budget was low and we had very little margin for error. I would do the same route again. Evidently Loris noticed that, he lives in the locker room. We had a positive January and I believed in salvation, which Casarano-Bitonto missed in the 95th minute with Chacon’s post. The sporting tragedy is not relegation but not starting again.

Has the municipal administration become involved?

There has always been a dialogue and discussion on the general situation. The mayor’s concern must be to guarantee a stadium to restart as soon as possible. Everyone who approached this project provided their contribution for the season. Many of our problems come from afar, we reach a point where we have a limited budget because those who had economic possibilities have left. I hope it’s one step back and then two steps forward. If there is anyone who has potential for a serious project, come forward, I reiterated this to the mayor. I’m taking a month to make some evaluations, the title of Bitonto Calcio is available to the mayor in case there is someone who wants to take charge of the project and we would be willing to step aside. Otherwise, we will evaluate whether there are the conditions to restart.

Stadium question

The completion of the stadium works will be important, I need a certain date, it would be an important condition for anyone. We were at the plant today with councilor Giuseppe Santoruvo to see the status of the works and they are at a very advanced stage. Barring any further problems, the stadium will be ready for the new season.

Thanks to the fans

I thank the many who signed up for season tickets despite not being able to go to the stadium in the second part of the season: it will be my duty to try to repay them in some way. Bitonto has many sporting realities and it is right that we feel free to make our contribution to whoever deems it most appropriate. We need to put ideas into play and we need to continue from these, bringing together fans and entrepreneurs. There is no need for social controversies, they only serve to make our sport unpleasant. In addition to football, there are people who have sporting ideas and projects.
