He did not make it Ancona Calcio: goodbye to Lega Pro 24/25. And the bank transfers, made at the last minute by the club, to the members who decreed their farewell from football were of no use professional. And now? D Series? In the best cases, yes, but according to what was reported by Rest of the Pug even the path among amateurs can be complicated. In fact, nothing is taken for granted and the fate of the Marche team is hanging by a thread. The “ball” is now in the hands of the mayor and club members.
And this is also confirmed by the local and regional newspapers which, last Thursday, announced that there will be a meeting, scheduled for today, between the mayor of Ancona Daniele Silvettithe minority shareholder of the company Mauro Canil and the CEO of Ancona Calcio Roberta Nocelli. It is the mayor’s intention to “understand what the situation is economic-financial and assets of Ancona Calcio – writes the Rest Of The Pug – and above all to understand if there is any understanding to continue”.
Never fans they don’t fit. And already last Monday, upon hearing the news of the uncertain registration for the Lega Pro, the Doric ultras had arranged meetings in hundreds in front of site company in via Schiavoni. Not only. There was no shortage of launches smoke bombs that hit the building. And the intervention of the police was also necessary police and the agents of Digos. While, for today, a procession is planned through the streets of the Marche capital.
It was the rejection of the Covisoclast Wednesday, to put an end to all Ancona’s hopes of playing another Lega Pro championship. But the tragic discovery of the club, as reported by Rest of the Pugwas to see a “about-face” by President Tiong. The Malaysian, in fact, had not paid any wire transfer: a default of approximately 450 thousand euros which should have been paid by midnight Tuesday 4 June. They didn’t expect it from the club also because, until a week before, as reported by the Marche newspaper, Tiong spoke of budget for next year with the coach Bush and campaigns marketing with the rest of society. Not only. Tiong reached on the phone after countless failed attempts had made it known definitively that he wouldn’t have paid anything.
A defeat for the Dorians and especially for Nocelli and Canil who started a race against time to find the necessary amount in order to make the transfers. And a figure of around 450 thousand euros had been found that same evening thanks to the minority shareholder Canil and a payment made by a entrepreneur (mysterious). Money in hand, Ancona immediately proceeded to make the payments, but it was impossible to make them appear as having been issued on 4 June. Too late. Result: money returned to the sender and goodbye to Serie C. For Ancona football it is the third return among the amateurs for the last 14 years. In 2010 the Dorians left again from the Excellency and in 2017 by first category. In 2021 the merger with the Matelica who, at the time, played in Serie C. A union between the Dorians and the people of Matelica which allowed Ancona to regain its professionalism.
