The hypothesis of a possible postponement becomes reality. Yes, because the start of the playoffs is postponed (first round Tuesday 7 May) due to the appeal presented by Taranto against the 4 penalty points inflicted by sports justice in relation to administrative failures. The possible retouching or reversal of the verdict would evidently change the face of a ranking which currently sees Taranto fifth with 65 points and involved in the first phase of the play-offs against Latina. But in the event of a revision, the Apulians could climb positions by calling into question the position of the opponents who are currently ahead of them, with Casertana and Benevento interested spectators. In light of this, Lega Pro has opted to postpone the start of the play-offs waiting for the ruling of the Coni Guarantee Board (scheduled for 4 May), which has received the appeal forwarded by Taranto against the sentence issued by the Federal Court of the FIGC which confirmed the -4 in the ranking inflicted for administrative violations (more specifically the failure to pay Irpef withholdings and INPS contributions for the two-month period September/October 2023). Penalty that the Ionian club, defended by lawyer Eduardo Chiacchio, aims to cancel or at least halve. And while waiting for this, the board of directors has decided to postpone the start of the play-offs by three days, which initially expected to start on Saturday 4 May. We will therefore have to wait, as happened last year for the Siena ‘case’, starting when everything is crystallized and avoiding messes during the work.
