ANCONA Here he is again the ineffable mister Tony Tiong. Another lap, another race, more special effects and empty promises. On the day of the publication of the mayor’s notice, the lawyer Stefano Giangrande reappears to announce the transfer: «Negotiations are being finalized for the transfer of control of the company Us Ancona srl (which no longer has any brands or concessions, ed.) conducted through the advisor Dr. Federico Marsella”. Keep this name in mind.
Deceived and sold
In the lawyer’s note which speaks “in the name and on behalf of Mr Chiong Tiong, president of the board of directors of US Ancona srl” it is also communicated that the operation has been “formally notified to the FIGC” and that the “details will be announced at the conclusion of the operation already scheduled for tomorrow”. That is for today. In the letter addressed to the FIGC, Tiong himself, incredibly, takes care to explain how the transfer of the club “is aimed at allowing business and sporting continuity through the rotation with the new ownership which will provide Us Ancona srl with managerial capabilities and financial for the conservation of the sporting heritage of the same, of the possibility of registration in the D series and in particular of the continuity of the relevant youth sector, of the historical identity, as well as of the best interests of the community and of the fans themselves without the need to resort to the ex procedure art. 52, paragraph 10 of the Noif”.
A slap in the face to the mayor and the city
A move of desperation, an action of obvious disturbance after the failure of last week’s meeting with the mayor. To which, as you can read in more detail here, Silvetti responded dryly and understandably irritated: “I’m going my own way”; In fact, it is a further slap in the face of a city that Tiong, like Canil and Nocelli themselves, has seduced and abandoned. Who will the Malay sell to? The clues all lead to the Campania mineral water entrepreneur Francesco Agnello already in the past linked to various clubs such as Trapani, Reggina, Avellino, Salernitana, Casertana and most recently to Barletta through the same advisor Marsella. But always rejected (he had proposed himself days ago as reported in our columns, through an intermediary, also to Silvetti. Receiving spades).
Mocking challenge
The statement of wanting to enroll US Ancona in series D “without the need to resort to the procedure pursuant to art. 52 of the Noif” is unrealistic and illusory to say the least. As clearly written in the letter from the FIGC sent to Silvetti on Monday, only through that procedure will Ancona be able to have a team registered in Serie D as an expression of a new club. As the sports law expert lawyer Eduardo Chiacchio explains: «It is not possible to register US Ancona in Serie D without going through the procedure of art. 52 of the Noif (therefore there cannot be two Anconas but only one which will be indicated by the mayor , ed.). In the past it had happened for Casertana and Sambenedettese but in both cases the companies involved had successfully initiated timely appeals.” Perhaps Tiong’s successor hopes to remain, after the ban, as the only possibility. But even there, a negative world would eventually open up. Move of desperation, indeed.
