adminROME. — The dirty linen was out in public long before the local launderette cut off Parma’s credit and told the players to wash their own kit from now on.
By that point, on Wednesday evening, the team bus had already been repossessed, £400 000 of medical and gymnasium equipment was gone in a bailiff’s van and an advert had appeared online. It showed a picture of a bench from the dressing room at the Stadio Ennio Tardini — or lot No 7, if you prefer.
It will be auctioned with a base price of £1 465 on March 5, with the money going to the creditors of this broken club. “Sometimes it feels like football is having a joke with us,” says Nicolo Babris, the editor of parmafanzine.it.
Players and staff have not been paid since the summer; many creditors have waited longer than that.
These are bleak, rotten times for the club at the bottom of Serie A and it’s about to get worse.
The mayor of Parma has been demanding a meeting with Manenti but the latter keeps cancelling.
Administration appears certain and the local press predict this club will soon be dissolved and re-formed in amateur football. — Mailonline.
