Lucchese - The "turning point" postponed. New partners: everything postponed to Monday

The president of the Lucchese, the lawyer Joseph Longo, he had also officially promised it on TV, during the "Curva Ovest" programme, which would have brought to the attention of the fans and, more generally, the city, the news regarding the possible entry of new members into the Sanbabila and that he would obviously continue to lead the Rossoneri club. This time, however, the promises were not followed by facts, that is, clarifications, because, until late yesterday afternoon, there was no statement from the Rossoneri number one himself.

Of course, no one knows the reason for this postponement, so we have to stay with the "status quo" of two days ago, that is, the news that the president was opening the doors of Sanbabila to new "subjects" or rather "professionals" (Longo called them that) not from Campania (they could be Venetians), promising, in fact, to give their names and surnames. Which, instead, was not done, at least until yesterday evening. The only thing we understood - between the folds of a situation that is anything but clear - is that these professionals, probably two, would take over the shares owned by two of the current partners of Sanbabila (will they also put in fresh money?) and that the same lawyer Longo would remain, both as president of the Milanese company and of Lucchese Calcio itself, after having declared, instead, in recent days, that one of the new "partners" would be the administrator. But there are also those who claim that Sanbabila would sell the entire package, that is, one hundred percent of its shares, to the aforementioned Italian professionals, a package that naturally also includes Lucchese. A detail that lawyer Longo would have denied, again on TV, saying, in essence, that Sanbabila would not have taken over the Rossoneri company from the Bulgarella group in a hurry, without even taking out a single euro (the 450 thousand euros of the value given to Lucchese, will be paid at a later time and in a later manner), to then sell it, after a few weeks, to others.

This aspect also needs to be clarified. As is the situation of Nember, who has not yet been made official, or the choice of a new press officer. Finally, again late yesterday evening, the lawyer Longo confirmed, on the one hand, that the shares of Sansabila have been sold to "professionals" (Venetian?) of a certain... weight and, on the other, that he will make all the necessary clarifications next Monday. Let's hope this is the right time, because there is a real need for clarity and transparency.

We forgot. The AC Milan president Longo said he will be in Lucca on Monday 17th, for the home match against Perugia, where he hopes to meet the mayor.
