The president of the Lega Serie A Lorenzo Casini replies to the president of the FIGC Gabriele Gravina. This is his introductory speech on the day of the Assembly that is taking place in Rome and will modify the Federation Statute: “As you know, the Lega Serie A believes that the regulation does not give us the right weight, which is why it voted against. Serie A presented a proposal to amend the statute starting from the Federal President’s proposal, 80% of the proposal reproduces that of the Federal President, demonstrating that important work has been done. However, there are changes on three topics: the first refers to the power of agreement that would be granted to the Lega Serie Ain the federal proposal there is a different formulation from the exposition of the Federal President where he says that all the rules concerning Serie A will be linked to Serie A. The document talks about rules that concern exclusively the Serie A League, in the Federal Council an amendment that concerns all the professional leagues would be enough to influence the independence of Serie A. It would be enough to remove the term exclusively, it is a reasonable request. You have read the proposal on weightsI simply remind you that the documents presented by the Federation had always talked about a Serie A League with 20% of voters in the Assembly and 5 councilors, in today’s proposal there is 18% and 4 councilors, which is why the proposal is insufficient. And this regardless of state law.
And again: “The strong agreement is based on a status recognized for Serie A, to reach the strong agreement there was work that must be recognized with the Federation and it was thought that in the event of a lack of agreement we could go to the CONI council, thus allowing a third party to decide in the event of a lack of agreement. According to the current proposal of the Federal President, Serie A can have the right of veto on a proposal that concerns Serie A. There is another right of veto if there is none. agreement with the other parties. How to overcome this crossed veto? A proposal has been made where matters relating to Serie A can move forward with their own proposals in the event of a lack of agreement. Is it a strong proposition? Of course, otherwise we wouldn’t be talking about a strong understanding. It is sufficient to understand the requests of the Lega Serie A and accept them, at that point we would all be happy and Italian football would be improved.”
