ANCONA A metamorphosis worthy of a Netflix series. In just six months. Ambitious boss with Serie A in mind, master of postponements in ruining the sports center operation, disappeared when the salaries of March and April were paid (430 thousand euros compared to a previous investment of 8 million in three years: absurd) mandatory for registration, I revived in reassuring – in a crazy way – the players about the balance of the monthly payments once the disaster had occurred, then silent again and finally, through his law firm, apparently collaborative. The elusive Tony Tong, president of US Ancona, has embraced the line of ambiguity. In the maximum expression of the term. After two warnings to comply from the Municipality (one on the meeting requested by Mayor Silvetti to show the accounting books by the 18th and one on the sports center given the failure to meet the June 30th deadline) the Malaysian deigned to respond. He did so through his representative – the lawyer Stefano Giangrande – who yesterday contacted Silvetti to establish the date of the summit. 17 or 18 June, a place yet to be defined and presumably armored under the level of public order. Will it be true? From the first information gathered, Tiong should not be there. He will act as the lawyer, if he were.
The Mysteries of Tiong
The sports centre, Carbon Brews (his beer) remained in port for time immemorial with the company logo without being marketed, a corporate summit in Hong Kong bordering on farce given what happened. The mysteries of Tiong are endless. As well as his plans, unknown to anyone. Municipal administration included. Does he want to settle the debts and register the team, giving rise to a lot of questions for not having done so in Serie C? Do you want to settle your debts and sell your shares at zero? Do you want to go straight to filing for bankruptcy (any creditor’s formal notice of default within the established deadlines is enough) and completely disengaged? For now, there is only one certainty: Tiong has not yet delivered the mandate to sell and the accounting books as hoped by Palazzo del Popolo in recent days. Will he deliver them in the face to face with Silvetti? It’s about time. Meanwhile, the first expense reimbursements for the youth sector have arrived from the club’s cash fund. The company’s accountant (Ripa & Partners) would be handling the procedure.
New investor and plan B
Tiong’s unreliability, with a view to the attempt to enroll Ancona in the 2024-2025 Serie D as a supernumerary by resolving the debt situation, leads the Municipality (which holds the brands) to also focus decisively on scenario B: that of the new serial number and the art. 52 of the Noif with related monetary and statutory obligations (it being understood that there cannot be two Ancona companies). Without affiliations, credits and the youth sector, the undertaking will be more difficult than presenting oneself with the current freshman. In this sense, the help of the institutions will become fundamental to safeguard the city’s sporting heritage. Essentially, a miracle is needed, but there is a willingness to play all the cards. One thing is missing: the carrier investor. On this aspect, the trail that leads outside the region, with interests also in the Marche and the capital, has found confirmation but more will not be known until the beginning of next week. Yesterday morning, Silvetti and his collaborators held an operational briefing with some Doric entrepreneurs to create a first support base. The deadline of July 8th to submit the registration is not far away.
