NESV looking to buy Roma.

by Cornholio Mon Feb 21, 2011 12:35 pm

February 15, NESV partner Thomas
DiBenedetto was granted a 30-day period to negotiate the purchase of AS
Roma through his company DiBenedetto AS Roma LLC. The sale of the club,
managed through Campagnia Italpetroli, is estimated at 200 million
euros. DiBenedetto is promising to double Roma's revenue in five years
and build a new stadium in eight years.

Roma, founded in 1927, won the Serie A title in 2001, but has fallen out
of success and into debt. Roma currently owes $177.3 million to
Unicredit. Today, coach Claudio Ranieri is reported to have resigned
following his 4-3 loss to Genoa.

DiBenedetto serves as chairman of the Boston Red Sox, owned by John
Henry, and is partner to New England Sports Ventures, which recently
purchased Liverpool. DiBenedetto is the president of Boston
International Group, an investment management company.

NESV is considering featuring Liverpool in the second annual Football at
Fenway tournament, which kicked off last year with Celtic versus
Sporting.

Der fuck?

He has his own firm, and his own company that he would use to buy the company. He does in fact work with NESV, but only as a chairman -- and is not an owner (as far as I understand).

It's right there in the second line. He's going to set up a holding company called DiBenedetto AS Roma LLC to purchase the club. I'm not sure if this would constitute a conflict.

Can't you not indirectly own a club, and use someone as a muppit on strings?

I lost track after the 7th negative there, but I don't know if it's allowed or not. Shouldn't be though.

Thomas DiBenedetto, the head of a United States consortium bidding to take control of cash-strapped Italian soccer club AS Roma, flew in to try to strike a takeover deal with creditor bank Unicredit today.

Reports said DiBenedetto, a partner of New England Sports Ventures which owns English Premier League side Liverpool, was spotted arriving in Rome off a flight from Boston before heading to a meeting with the bank.

Earlier this month the company which controls Roma, Italpetroli, said it had extended a period of exclusive talks with the U.S. consortium until March 30.

Discussions have been going on for months with takeover speculation surrounding the indebted club for years.

One of the reasons for coach Claudio Ranieri's resignation last month was the uncertainty caused by the prospect of new owners and the lack of money he had to spend in the January transfer window.

Unicredit had taken over the defacto running of the club in order to steer the sale process and recoup losses.

Roma, now managed by former player Vincenzo Montella, were eliminated by Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions league last 16 earlier this month and lie sixth in Serie A having finished runners-up last term.

No Serie A club is currently majority owned by foreign investors, who have instead been drawn to the more lucrative English Premier League where top stadiums are often full and merchandise sales significantly boost profits, unlike in Italy.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Sunderland are all owned by Americans.

There's no conflict of interest as long as Liverpool don't qualify for the Europa League.
