News that united the world of football. The proposal from the Minister for Sport Andrea Abodi to create a government agency for economic and financial supervision and control over professional sports clubs has provoked a strong response from the world of football. Both the Football Federation and the Serie A League have expressed their opposition. “I have never heard of the project to establish an agency to control the balance sheets of professional clubs before last Friday,” Gravina declared.
Abodi’s response and Malagò’s reply
Abodi’s response was ready: “I have seen a lot of agitation on the topic and also some inaccuracies relating to the attack on autonomy. I would have liked the same excitement to manifest itself when the tax debts of professional club teams from A, B and C were written off for over 100 million in the last two years alone.” “However, this rule was not created to improve the situation. But to change the rules of the game” declared CONI number one Giovanni Malagò.
The meeting is due by Friday
However, the minister gave full availability for a meeting with the parties to discuss the issue. A constructive face to face which, today’s edition of the Gazzetta dello Sportit can be by Friday.
