The future of Pistoia Basket. Tonight the Board of Directors of Truth

The day of truth has arrived. The board of directors of Pistoia Basket 2000 has been set for this evening, called to dispel the clouds that have gathered in recent days, dark, on the present and future of the club. The most anticipated protagonist is undoubtedly Ronald Rowan , president of the club and sole director of the East Coast Sports Group , which holds the majority shares of the company. The patron should have returned from the United States during the night, just in time to take part in the board of directors. In addition to him, there will be Steven Raso , another partner of the East Coast Sports Group, who in recent days has been fully committed in the city, declaring that he is ready to do everything possible to 'straighten the course'. Between the two, there could likely be an air of conflict, given the latent dissatisfaction with the technical and financial management carried out so far by Rowan. Completing the table is a 'loyal member' of the patron, Joe David, the vice-president Massimo Capecchi (former number one of the club) and Dario Baldassarri (on behalf of the title sponsor Estra).

It is not easy to hypothesize the scenarios that could occur. Certainly, concrete economic guarantees will be explicitly requested from Rowan to allow the sports season to be concluded without worries. In fact, there are deadlines to be respected, see Comtec documentation to be sent at the end of February and the sixth Fip installment to be paid at the beginning of March, as well as obligations to be fulfilled, such as the registration of the sixth Italian by Friday, in time for the trip to Naples. If these guarantees are not presented, we will have to understand the reaction of Raso, who also represents the other star-spangled investors. They could be the ones to take charge of the capital injection, asking in return - but we are in the realm of hypotheses - for a step back from Rowan himself, perhaps with the support of the Italian component of the Board of Directors. A step back that could lead to a series of changes of considerable importance. The only certain thing, however, is that there is a sports season to be completed and on this aspect no more exceptions will be granted.
