Salvatore Guida doesn’t want to be seen as responsible for the end of Alma Juventus Fano. As the one who risks leading the Granata company to bankruptcy.
President, in Fano, many think so…
“If many think that I am Mario Russo’s instigator to make Fano Calcio fail, they are very wrong. For the simple reason that I will do everything to avoid the bankruptcy of this club. Because this club has now entered my heart. My family and I have decided to come and live in Fano, my children will go to school here in September. And speaking of Russo, I say that the people of Fano, when they said certain things, were absolutely right…”.
It seems that relations with the former president are not good.
“We reached the breaking point when he told me that I no longer have to be in the youth sector, but to make an agreement with the Granata Academy and to renounce the agreement with Mizuno. The undersigned does not agree to this and other little things clear, like certain contracts with players”.
But the failure to pay for the transfer of company shares is still at stake…
“It is true that there are 100 thousand euros to be paid in installments deferred over time. Russo claims the payment of the first installment of 15 thousand euros for which I have 40 days to object. However, I will respect the commitment even if it was said that in in the meantime, some money would have come in but it didn’t arrive, such as the contribution from the Municipality, the second installment of Tenkorang in May, in addition to the fact that we then lost the 25 thousand euros of the ‘Young People of Value’. It was clear that Russo would not have given the money away ‘Alma to the first one who passed by, but certain issues came to light later.” Like?
“Water, electricity, gas never paid this year, around 18 thousand euros which are now reduced to 4. I discovered that the Tari, waste tax, for the year 2021, 10 thousand euros, which we will see about paying in instalments, has not been paid, In the meantime I have paid for the bus (1,100 euros remains for the Under) and the players’ house, just as the Red Cross has not been paid for the service at the pitch. Little by little, albeit amid difficulties, represented by a painful relegation and the having part of the fans against me, I try to put the resources into it. And in the meantime the club’s debt has dropped.”
There is still the one towards the players…
“Yes, and also the other collaborators, but we will try to satisfy them. Hoping that they will come to our aid a little. As happens in other parts. There are clubs in worse conditions than us, Albenga, Legnano, Chieti, but we will see if we can do it to apply for repechage. I repeat: I said no to Russo who wanted to see Fano fail.”
So there’s no risk of Alma going bankrupt?
“Look, if I pay, even with difficulty, why should I ever do it if the ultimate goal is failure. I would have done it sooner if I hadn’t paid anyone anymore. Fano isn’t going bankrupt, there’s no danger.”
