Former Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero offers to become co-owner of Roma | OneFootball

In an open letter entrusted to the LaPresse news agency, former Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero addressed the current owners of Roma, Dan and Ryan Friedkin.

“Dear Friedkins, Roma must be rebuilt. Stop patching up and throwing money at this team, at the club. I have gone against all of Sampdoria because since I was a child I have lived and supported Roma. That of Di Bartolomei, of Liedholm, I grew up in the Roma curve, my heart beats yellow and red.”

“But today I am very pissed off, because dear president Friedkin we are very happy that you have come to invest in Roma, but we are sorry because evidently you are surrounded by bad advisors. Roma must be rebuilt.”

“You have not spent 100 million, you have thrown them away. Because you have people around you who perhaps have little understanding of this football. Roma is not a European parliament, it cannot be managed by foreign directors, like Monchi or Ghisolfi, who do not know the world of Roma. Football must be followed closely.”

““Let’s form the new Roma government, stop throwing money away. Stop foreign sports directors like Monchi and Ghisolfi. With all the excellence we have, do we have to hurt ourselves by taking people who have wasted money? We are not the UN, we are Roma.”

“You, President, who must be respected for how much money you have put into Roma, cannot come to Rome to be an American. I don’t want money and I’m not looking for a job, I just want you to give us a dream. I spent 14 years at Sampdoria with crazy results. Football is love, passion. You want a sold-out stadium? Give us football.”

“I am 74 years old, I don’t want money, I want to give a dream to all my little wolf cubs. We are Romans, Romanisti, and we love Roma, if you take advice with less money and more love, you will live every day with great satisfaction. I would like to meet you, dear president Friedkin: for the love of Roma I will also take the first flight and come to New York: let’s save Roma.”
