We players of Bergamo Basket 2014 ask GIBA to publish and disseminate the following press release among the press.
All the players have decided to focus the attention of the experts on their situation regarding compliance with the contractual commitments undertaken by the club towards them.
The Bergamo Basket 2014 team worked hard throughout the year, gaining first place at the end of the championship in their group and then an excellent placement in the play offs, not at all a given given the various vicissitudes it encountered along the way and given the delicate situation in which he finds himself (back wages, problems with players’ housing, etc.).
Now he has decided to raise his voice.
The team asks for RESPECT because it is made up first and foremost of people who have made sport their job and these people have the right to receive their compensation on time, furthermore they expect the club to intervene as soon as possible to fix an increasingly serious situation .
The management has lost credibility in our eyes, given the deadlines given and never respected and given the company’s disinterest in communicating and giving concrete explanations about the economic situation.
At this point the team group communicates that the time for understanding and patience is over.
The team decided to return to the gym to train in order to better prepare for the playoffs after the weekend break which served to recharge the especially mental energy given by this situation.
But it is important that we know what is happening.
Because we need facts, we cannot live on passion alone.
