ALEXANDRIA – “We expect the property to be presented here to the Municipality with a serious projectmaking us understand if the resources really exist and how they intend to move forward“. The latest reassurances from the Alessandria Calcio club have not convinced the mayor Giorgio Abonante. The first citizen of Alexandria he wants to see clearly: yesterday the letters of urgent summons addressed to the top leaders of the greys, the president Andrea Molinaro and the general manager Giulio Maione. The administration of Alessandria, in fact, wants to know the business plan on the future of the company, in the times that the ownership itself had undertaken to respect in the face-to-face meeting of last April 12th.
“I’ve been waiting for a project for more than a month” Mayor Abonante underlined on Radio Gold “a non-rhetorical project but very practical and concrete. The Municipality of Alessandria has a concession contract with Alessandria Calcio e there are costs to bear which, if there were no stadium manager, would fall on the entire Alessandria community. In this case, therefore, in addition to intangible assets such as the future of Alessandria Calcio and the football of our city, we are also talking about practical and concrete aspects. The point is this: either Alessandria football exists or it doesn’t. We don’t accept hearing things from the media. If the property does not present itself here at Palazzo Rosso with a serious project we will have to make some very heavy and drastic decisions: we owe it to the Alexandrian community. If a contract between two parties is not respected it can be resolved. In this case, therefore, Alessandria Calcio may no longer play at Moccagatta next year. It would be an injustice to burden society with costs that should not be burdened on the Alexandrian community.”
“You cannot accept not having feedback and a project after more than a month” added Abonante “theTime passes, we need certainties, also because there are other interlocutors involved. These days, for example, the Juventus Next Gen is playing the playoffs at the Moccagatta stadium. The Juventus club also has a contract with the manager and needs certainties, there are interests that go beyond exclusively local aspects. The Alexandrian community cannot afford to make a bad impression throughout Italy: we must absolutely prevent it. Furthermore, we are keen to communicate with all the subjects who give value to a public asset such as the stadium”.
“Have I had contact with the property? We have a conversation with some members of the board of directors who demonstrate great seriousness. At the moment, however, we do not have an equally punctual dialogue with the owners“ Abonante concluded “the letters of invitation went out yesterday: time is running out. In the next few days we want to have the opportunity to discuss with the owners about the future of the grays and the Moccagatta stadium.”
