And here I am rewriting of the most beautiful colors of the world .. That red and blue that characterizes even my nick .. I do not even remember when was the last time I wrote of Taranto and its history ..

So let's recap, our heroes have defeated in late May, the Sorrento, winning the only away win of the management of Paul Stringara and save directly, without being forced to move from lottery playout .. Everyone happy, so that the president Luigi Blasi spoke of immediate recovery in the next season to stand tall .. Except then (4 June 2009) announced its immediate withdrawal (after the death of Paul Stringari, kept on stand-by for two weeks, which decided not to wait for the decisions of a character is too ambiguous), with even the will put the company into liquidation, not recording it the next season ..

As of now this is all a bluff seemed beautiful and good technically savvy fans (including myself, allow me a moment of presumption), who could not help but notice some inconsistencies: first, the two leaders who trust you Blasi chosen (the DS and DG Pagni Iodice) continued to do its job, albeit unofficially, and secondly, the fact that he had asked Mayor of Taranto, Ippazio Stephen, to find buyers, but without actually hand over the sports title (gesture you would expect from a person who defines the stove and discouraged, with the sole intention of giving up), and thirdly, immediately began to spin news about ghostly cordate ready to take over the company, only to disappear promptly to the economic demands (3 million euros between sports title and debts to be welded) ..

And so it has even arrived to fix the date of liquidation of the company, on June 29 .. In fact there really was a serious buyer, a mysterious group of entrepreneurs represented by a lawyer from Milan, who had agreed to pay 3 million requested, and which seemed made for the transfer of ownership .. But here at the end of last week appeared on the scene Enzo D'Addario, well-known entrepreneur Tarantino mentioned as a possible sponsor first, but then (by his own will) come directly into society. And so there we are, today officially Taranto two presidents, Vito Luigi Blasi and Enzo D'Addario, owners of Taranto to 50% (each) ..

But how? A person bored and discouraged, who did not hesitate to insult the fans Taranto ( "deserve a president who takes them around and then ran away with the loot" were his words), which not only agrees to stay, but retains the post of President and load the great responsibility of forming the team? If this is not a bluff ..

So this is the new situation that did turn up their noses at many, including me .. But I can not deny that the company's new air: apart from the person D'Addario, contractor known throughout Italy, it is impossible not to note that for the first time in 5 years Blasi not going to deal with an employee but with an equal partner, a person that is with full executive powers and that counts just as he was. A person also has a prestige and a considerable reputation in town, and I imagine that they can be difficult to accept nicked by nefarious behavior as those to which we are accustomed, and which has the specific task to maintain relations with press / authorities / fans, relationships irreparably cracked by the behavior I mentioned earlier ..

Contour of all this seems to be an imminent agreement with the city administration to use the stadium Iacovone and sponsorship by the Province of Taranto (the inscription "Land Ionica" should be next year on the shirts of Taranto Sport, Cras Basket and Prisma Volleyball) .. Just missing the market, expects to name new coach in the next few days and then it's time to understand that teams want to be, because as usual we are already lagging behind other teams ..

In the past there were times when the wind seemed to have changed, but then he was always completed on time all in a bubble ..

We'll see ..

Last week I spoke of the changed situation of managerial Taranto Sport .. I stated that there seemed to be a real breakthrough at last, but I intend to speak better at the end of the market .. Here the market is over, and I can say that virtually nothing has changed compared to the past! And thank goodness we Pagni as DS!

We have lived the last weeks again overwhelmed by the likes giant, worthy of a team that fights for the series A, only salvation in the First Division, only to return to Earth at 19 yesterday, as every year for four years now .. Because the last day of the market (obviously there was reduced last) arrived only Crucifix Miglietta, director of midfield borrowed dall'Arezzo. He tried to resume Aniello Cutolo, but the ending here was tragicomic: and why there has been concern to reach an agreement with the player and with Perugia, almost to make the announcement official, without remembering that when a player is jointly (with the Cisco Roma, to be exact), any transfer must be endorsed by both companies own the card, then the papist leaders have quietly made their way home without so much as talk to Taranto, and we are left without Cutolo and Marolda .. Everything in the best tradition in short ..

We had three goalies, and no one certainly expectations, and we continue to have them (it was conceivable the sale of at least one), we had a defense of men and poor quality, and we still have it, it is absurd to anyone when we arrived the second worst defense in the championship .. We had outside midfielder, and we have even less! Since the departure of Cazzola was overcome by Da Silva, who is a striker, now we are left with Micco and Lolli, and Sosa and Di Bari (two defenders) in reserves .. We had too many central midfield, and we have taken another 3! If you were previously in 2 to contend for a mesh, are now in 3, and soon, with the return of Paolucci, in 4! We had a joke attack, with only Denis holding up the cabin, and we are in the same situation, except that Da Silva does not come back to 3-4 seasons ago .. We also have 5 first point, and no exterior, with a coach who professes the 3-4-3 ..

Well in short they have not carry a tune .. Like every year, the willingness to spend has never existed, they took only players at no cost and requiring contracts are not overly burdensome, because even if to take released, I am reminded of a midfield consisting of Pigeons - Cardinal - Tisci - Di Beside, all released, would envy to some teams in Serie B.. But these players you must pay them, and well also .. Instead you are not able to get even at some Strambelli, in his twenties outside left Bari who preferred the loan all'Andria in Second Division (and believe, after being kept as a second choice for 10 days) ..

Salvation is possible, given that there are 3-4 teams objectively inferior to Taranto, but at this point will be 200% commitment and luck, because it is not said that we can win all the battles direct .. Certainly, however, that, in my opinion, not only failed to strengthen the team as promised, but even the weakened!

Congratulations ..

In recent times we are living a real upheaval within the Taranto Sport .. Since presidentissimo Blasi has relaunched their passion (in his own account), facts are successes, and several also .. Leaving the parenthesis Franco Selvaggi (I talked about here and here ), We have recently seen, in order, a new coach (at last class) with a lot of vice (the coupled Paul Stringara - Maurizio Vincioni), then a new DS (finally, there was no more than a year) even one of the best emerging category, Danilo Pagni, and now, a new DG (secretaries), Franco Bellante, replacing outgoing Vittorio Galigani .. Whole new people, with a curriculum not indifferent to the shoulders, and especially without any link with the past recent Taranto!

But it goes even further, because now we hear of two-year and three year contracts, leaving aside "contracts objective has always been used in the management Blasi, and talk, this time in a concrete way of players who can make the difference ( do not reproduce it here because it would be a long list, of course properly inflated newspapers) .. And even Notz this morning, seems to have already arrived from the U.S. transfer of new purchase Francisco Lima, bombshell, as for the transfer of two Uruguayan hired in the summer it took almost 3 months .. And then there's the stadium .. Really seems that the days of Taranto as the only Italian professional team to be forced to play their home games behind closed doors are really coming to an end, thanks to the efforts for bringing up to the stadium Iacovone and come into compliance with new laws ..

Really seems that the wind has changed, that can breathe new air, which can lead to salvation .. But be careful not to travel too much with your imagination! In my talk, there are a number of industry "seems" and "think" this is a warning bell, because it is true that new people came and professional, it is true that many bad apples have been removed, and in general is taking a different attitude, more collaborative, but it is simultaneously true that Taranto is still quartt'ultimo in the standings without a stadium with a team shabby, with neither head nor tail of midfield and with a shaky defense and a entrusted to a feeble attack Davide Dionigi .. For now, the new arrivals are not at all exciting, as Fernando Spinelli and Ali are two obscure Lolli, William Da Silva does not seem to be the hound of the penalty area for a few seasons ago, and Francisco Lima not questionable, but it has its 37 years ..

We're the last week of transfers, the movements seem large, if not enormous, but I intend to write about this again Monday night, or at least Tuesday morning, entered the market, trying to understand if we are really a new course ..
