The Federal Council of the FIGC, following Covisoc reports, rejected the appeals of 6 clubs: Chievo is excluded from Serie B, Casertana, Novara, Carpi, Paganese and Sambenedettese from C.
"I am a guarantor, as you know. Chievo is a club that has an important history, now let's see what they will support in the third degree of judgment." So hot the president of the Lega di B Mauro Balata, regarding the rejection of the Chievo appeal, arrived by the federal council of the FIGC. "I imagine they will appeal - added Balata - but I have the feeling that there is a general problem: the legal system and the state system. The latter has been integrated several times by a series of emergency regulations also in tax matters. Now there will be a third body that will judge. Incomplete documentation? I believe that, on the one hand, there was the need to have documentary evidence on a right to proceed with payment with certain facilities and fromon the other hand there is a peremptory deadline which is that of June 28 and it was not possible to obtain them with this timing ".
"The appeals have not been accepted and today six clubs have not obtained the national license. They have two days to appeal and there is still an open game regarding any evaluations by the College of Guarantee". This was stated by the president of the Football Federation, Gabriele Gravina, commenting on the non-admission to the respective championships of Chievo (Serie B), Carpi, Casertana, Novara, Paganese and Sambenedettese (Serie C), on the sidelines of today's Federal Council. "We had removed the risk of losing registered teams and today we are also losing a B team. These are alarming signs that call for an intervention anyway", added Gravina, speaking of the reform of the championships. "The times are the same, the need for a 'acceleration derives from a greater serenity and positivity that we have assimilated in these 50 days of Europeans - he concluded -. My psychological impact does not change in terms of my belief in saying that a path of reform is essential. Today's results say so ".
Chievo aims to appeal to the Sports Guarantee College at the Coni against the exclusion from Serie B decided today by the FIGC Council, after the negative opinion of Covisoc. The yellow and blue company has not officially commented on the decision, but the line is the one indicated since the first communication of Covisoc's opinion, on 8 July last. At the College of Guarantee it will be possible to produce the tax documentation that it was not possible to give to the Commission, and which could overturn the decision.
