Olbia A sigh of relief and a new promise. As already mentioned, there have been weeks of tension in the Olbia house because SwissPro is struggling with a financial situation in the red. Some of the employees are waiting for their salaries for April and May. The consultancy for the new stadium project was never paid, so there is no development taking place. And the Cayman fund which should have represented the economic reservoir of the property, is missing.
The wait The sigh of relief is for a deadline that has slipped: the company had circled in red the date of Tuesday 4 June to submit documents and accounts in order to the Federation. Necessary step to register in any category for the next season. During the week, however, the board of directors starting from Benno Raeber he discovered that the deadlines have slipped. Yes, because June 4th applies to the teams in Serie C and Olbia actually finds itself in limbo between the repechage or the Serie D. A discovery that takes some of the water out of the company’s throat, having arrived by chance, seeing itself rejected some uploads on the Covisoc platform, the supervisory commission for professional football clubs. For the moment, Olbia’s account has been disabled. At this point it is likely that the club will take more time with internal duties, and will possibly have to wait until around July 10th to proceed with registration in Serie D. But in reality the hope is to return to the professional ranks through the back door.
Criteria On June 10th the Lega Pro Commission will meet to establish the repechage criteria, and they will be published on June 14th. At that moment Olbia will better understand what to do. First of all, the situation on Tuesday is monitored: if any C club were not in compliance, it would be good news for the Gallura people. However, they have some suitors ahead of them including Milan who are willing to create the U23 team, and Recanatese and Virtus Francavilla ready to participate in the repechage.
The commitment We arrive at the promise: from Olbia they assure that with the publication of the criteria, the club will put itself in a position to be able to raise its hand. Between 300 thousand euros in non-repayable funds, two sureties for a total of 650 thousand euros and the last tranche of salaries, one and a half million euros are needed. Money which, at the moment, does not appear in SwissPro’s coffers. The ownership, which is no longer such a secret matter, would have started negotiations for corporate partners who can take over the sporting part, leaving the non-football commitments and marketing development to the Swiss.
Who stays Ze Maria on the bench it is a scenario that is only possible by remaining in C. Ditto for the track Francesco Filucchi in the role of director instead of Tomaso Tatti. Among the amateurs, the technical area will be divided between them Ninni Corda And Nicola Bignotti. Among the players, Ragatzu And The Rose they wanted to meet Surace to ensure their permanence in any case. So for Van Der Want. Also willing to stay Bianchimano, Bellodi And Arboleda. Olbia’s top brass thanked him, noted but shrugged: «We’ll talk about it again in July, at this moment we are not able to propose contracts».
