“A new group of private investors is arriving, just like the people who are already part of this company. It will hardly be an investment fund. It is perhaps a different way of entering from what we had initially hypothesized, but I would like to say that the difference between having private investors and having a fund is that private individuals are people who also have a very important aspect why there is it is passion and a true, real and heartfelt interest. While the funds look at the numbers and statistics aspect.” The president of Venezia Duncan Niederauer he thus spoke of the next corporate developments in the lagoon house, dismissing the hypothesis of the Cerberus Fund, which would have had to purchase 40% of the club, which had emerged in recent months.
“Between six and eight private investors will enter in place of the fund and will purchase 40% of the shares, while the rest will remain in the hands of the current owners where eight out of ten investors will remain. – continues Niederauer – Maybe we could announce something as early as next week, but more likely it will be in May”.
Then there is room for the sacrifices made and the rumors about one’s economic availability: “In recent days, rumors have emerged about my personal wealth that are incredible and are very far from the reality of the facts. If that figure had been true I wouldn’t have needed other members and other partners. I am happy that other members will join because we need them and I want to welcome them. We have had to make sacrifices and have invested a lot to entice and incentivize the entry of our members and it is necessary that some of the creditors with whom we are talking also do so”.
But what sacrifices is Niederauer talking about? This is the response from the orange-green number one: “All the money that was invested to set up the team will not be recovered. We will never get back the money we have invested up to this point. We ask our creditors to behave in the same way. – concludes Niederauer as reported Tuttoveneziasport.it – Regarding the ban situation we are working with the clubs with which there is a pending situation. We know very well that we have to resolve them before the start of the next championship, but we will close any discussion long before the transfer window opens”.
