The ongoing saga surrounding Brescia President Massimo Cellino continues to unfold with baffling twists, leaving the community in a state of confusion. Today, the situation saw another perplexing development as Cellino made only a partial payment towards the fee required to maintain the concession for the Rigamonti stadium. The expected full amount was 218,000 euros, but the payment received was exactly half, totaling just 109,000 euros.
Many anticipated the remaining payment would arrive before the midnight deadline, the absolute final moment for the transaction, but this did not occur. This incomplete action adds another layer of absurdity to the already turbulent events of recent weeks. Had Cellino paid the full amount, he would have retained control of the stadium concession, potentially forcing the Municipality and the FeralpiSalò club to pay him rent for using the facility in the upcoming sports season.
Instead, with the full payment not made, the control and keys to the Rigamonti stadium will now revert back to the Municipality, seemingly bringing a definitive end to this particular chapter. This concludes another chaotic day for Brescia, leaving the fans utterly exhausted by the series of sporting crises. They appear so worn down by the turmoil that they no longer seem to possess the energy even to protest. It`s a deeply sad outcome that highlights one of the most disheartening realities in life and especially in the world of sport: widespread indifference.
