He declared in the Senate: «We were not given the possibility of having two teams in different leagues. Bari could fail if we took a step back.”

Bari will face Ternana this evening for the return of the Serie B play-outs. Meanwhile, a new controversy has broken out in the city over De Laurentiis’ words in the Senate, as reported byHandle.
Decaro against De Laurentiis’ statements: “Better to fail than to be constantly humiliated”
Referring to the complaints about timeshares, the owner of Bari (with Filmauro) declared:
«We were not given the opportunity to own two football groups in different leagues, which should be possible because the City Group does it. Thanks to my intervention this was limited until 2028. What will that club (Bari ed.) do? Once the De Laurentiis family is tired and will probably leave the scene in 2028, why don’t we talk about it first, if the law is not changed? It will be destined to stay where it is or fail. Unless there are foreign or Italian groups that can intervene powerfully».
The mayor of the Apulian city, Antonio Decaro, intervened to criticize the entrepreneur through a note:
Sometimes the words of Aurelio De Laurentiis are so out of time and out of place that one wonders whether it is him or his imitator Max Giusti who is speaking. On the eve of a match that to call delicate is an understatement, he reasons (indeed, unreasonable) evoking future scenarios such as the bankruptcy of Bari football or the condemnation to remain in a minor league until 2028. We have asked, in the past, for an apology from Aurelio De Laurentiis. This time they won’t be enough.
We expect Filmauro to immediately initiate serious negotiations, whatever the outcome of tomorrow’s match, so as not to postpone a transfer of ownership which now seems to be the only way out of a situation which has become unmanageable, from all points of view. view. As for us fans from Bari, we prefer to fail again than to be constantly humiliated by an owner who has shown that he doesn’t love this team and this city. Go Bari, always.
