But the League chaired by Francesco Ghirelli has already said that it cannot do so, so as not to create inequality of treatment with the other clubs. In the Court, therefore, we are now trying to see if it is possible to extend the provisional exercise, currently expiring on April 19, at least until the 26th and therefore until the end of the regular season in order not to see the ranking of group C upset. If this were not the case, Catania risks being immediately excluded from the championship.

In an official note, the Lega Pro made it known that “this morning at 11:40 the Board of Curators sent a pec to our League and the FIGC asking” where deemed possible, an extraordinary financial intervention or contribution from part of the Lega Pro “. At 13:54 our Lega replied to the College, underlining among other things that” also taking into account that any extraordinary financial intervention by the Lega Pro could only be arranged in ‘system parity’ (and therefore for the benefit of each single associated club), it is believed that we cannot access the hypothesis of disbursement of a contribution “. If we had consented to this request we would have operated an unequal treatment towards the other clubs, altering the regularity of the Championship”.
