Stock market-listed AS Roma and Lazio have been warned by the league's
soccer finance authority Covisoc they have just six days to pay the cash
guarantees required to secure their place in Italy’s Serie A
Rome clubs are the only top league teams in trouble while in Serie B
Fiorentina, Genoa, Messina, Napoli, Palermo and Verona all face being stopped from participating this year.
All have until July 29 to comply with the regulations.
"Roma has so far refused to pay up because I want to know why we are being
asked to pay three times more than Inter or [AC] Milan," Roma chairman
Franco Sensi told local media. (Ed: maybe because your debt is three times bigger)
Lazio chief Sergio Cragnotti blames a breakdown of communication for the
situation.
"What has happened is very serious, above all because Roma and Lazio are
listed on the bourse and this way of doing things seriously risks
undermining their shares," he said.
”This way of doing things seriously” Does this mean he never takes things seriously like paying for a player he bought a year ago. We will see how serious this gets if the debts aren’t paid by next week.
