Rossoneri fans have been accustomed, for years, to spending the summer season without certainties about the future of their team. Between bankruptcies and courts for various appeals in Foggia it is now a seasonal cliché that repeats itself every year, sometimes making you spend the whole summer without certainties about the future. There is now plenty of time to build a competitive team, but is the club present? Even what is about to begin will probably be yet another troubled season. It’s time to take stock of a rather disappointing season, for the promises made and for how it went forward, made up of ups and downs, risks, even for salvation, avoided playouts and missed playoffs with the burning defeat in the derby against Cerignola.
Canon who upon his arrival in Foggia had promised Serie B in three years, raise the white flag and he said it to the four winds. «You can no longer continue to play football in a polluted environment that has gone far beyond simple protest. If no negotiations materialise, the club’s registration for the next championship is highly at risk.” The protest in the square, with the relationship with the fans now broken, so much so that the supporters of the north curve followed Foggia only away and the significant drop in attendance in the stands of the “Zaccheria” could be the causes of the separation and this time there could be truly the divorce between the entrepreneur from Bari and Foggia. Given the premises, we could really witness Canonico’s disengagement.
The Rossoneri president seems to be firm on the decision, and could probably hold a press conference on May 6th to clarify the situation. As always in these circumstances, “Radio tifo” broadcasts hypotheses and rumors about alleged negotiations. In fact, in the last few hours, the rumor has spread that a negotiation is underway with a US group that deals with corporate finance, Mergerscorp of New York, a rumor confirmed by president Nicola Canonico, with a note on the company’s official website.
«I have always declared – declares Canonico – that I would be willing to open a dialogue for the sale of the club when, in my place, someone serious and reliable came forward. The news that has emerged in recent days, regarding a negotiation that has been going on for some time for the purchase of the Rossoneri club, corresponds to the truth and confirms my intentions to leave the Foggia project in solid and safe hands, adjectives that are synonymous with the company interested in Calcio Foggia 1920, namely MergersCorp M&A International, a brand specialized in Corporate Finance and corporate finance activities. I am therefore pleased – we read at the end of the note – to announce that advanced negotiations are underway and that the parties are working to ensure there is a positive conclusion”.
