Because Sampdoria is again in crisis

Poor Samp. Cicked in Hell last May, with the relegation to Serie C then avoided thanks to the case-Brescia and the success in the double playout with Salernitana. A nightmare that, in general surprise, is now proposing, with the four Ko in a row in this start of the championship, a team still looking for an identity, a technician (donon) at least partially delegitimized, too many figures on the bridge of command in the company, with a fragmentation of the apical roles of the club which evidently does not be good for the environment.

But we have to proceed by degrees. The investor and main shareholder of the club, the Asian Joseph Tey, who had saved the company from the abyss, this year did not bring back to his responsibilities, introducing new liquidity into the club, even if with a Salary Cap and a corporate strategy aimed at the clear reduction in costs in all areas. Vista from outside, it could be a (legitimate) move aimed not to further deplete an investment of over one hundred million, but which so far has proved bankruptcy. Waiting for better times, or a hypothetical new buyer. A Samp to keep afloat, in any case. However, Tey has changed some pawns. Manfredi has formally remained driving the ship, but in fact it has only an institutional role today. A minister without portfolio (football), because all the powers related to the composition of the rose and the management of the group-Siquadra, given what happened last year, were transferred to the Danish Fredberg, a new CEO Sport, with another figure (Walker) put there in society as a representative of the property. The market? In the hands of Fredberg and Mancini, the first most powerful and accustomed to using algorithms and numbers, the second accustomed to an old style market: I observe live, analyzed, I make the negotiation. The opposites that do not coincide, but which eventually converge in the figure of the technician Donati. Who, by accepting the bench of Sampdoria, legitimately thought of relaunching himself in a square that despite everything has maintained his appeal over time. So far, however, it has not happened: the low cost rose is unbalanced, with a numerical abundance only in the middle of the field, there is still no clear identity, the bad luck has put the paw – Pedrola will be outside for a long time, altar is still unavailable, out of the list like Romagnoli -. And, again, yet another mess was committed. Delegitimizing Ghidotti, made aside to promote the Belgian Coucke, summer purchase, heavily co -responsible for the two Ko against Cesena and Monza. The impression, but is something more, given what transpires from Poggio, is that the Walker -Fredberg couple have a say in the training choices – including goalkeeper – and in the absence of results this behavior can harm the team and the balance of the locker room heavily. Because the players themselves, in training, are the first to understand who is best deserved to play the owner.

The square

Donati will remain riding until Bari, in the awareness that it would be enough to stop this bleeding of results to find some serenity and try to start again. Difficult, moreover, today, finding an expert substitute for the category without heavily putting the wallet. And the fans? Commendable: in the summer they signed over twenty thousand subscriptions, on Saturday there were almost three thousand in Monza. Now, however, the measure is full. Faced with results that do not arrive and a property-fantasma, which says nothing and does not put their face on it, tonight will see each other in the belly of Ferraris to analyze the situation and launch a common protest strategy. The will is to raise awareness of what is happening to the team that was once the Sampd’oro.
