Mood changes in less than 48 hours. Taranto finds itself in a very short period of time From third place to 53 points with the possibility of play-offs To be played among the best positions in the world rankings At -4 penalty This changes the environmental scenario and perhaps even the technical scenario.

Punishment and appeal

Lawyer conversation He is preparing the defense to submit the appeal announced by Massimo Giovi's club. The lawyer was clear to Antenna Sud: “On December 18, the company sent F24 aircraft, but due to IT problems, the Revenue Agency did not recognize them, or rather some were found and others were not. On the basis of this, the Public Prosecutor's Office imposed a penalty of four points (two points at the request of the prosecution, editor). Are there any other unsolved tasks? “As of February 16, all Taranto obligations owed by Covisoc have been fulfilled, so the company is currently in a completely healthy position.” Now we await the reasons for the sentence, which will be the starting point for the Rossoblu’s defense line Which aims to reduce the minimum sentence. In the absence of reasons, according to some reconstructions, it will be one batch of contributions and another going back to a previous batch with the revenue agency. In short, the Taranto club shows confidence, but the situation must be carefully monitored.

Fire environment

Obviously, in these cases, the penalty kick in the standings reignited the controversy among the fans against the club. Just yesterday, banners appeared in the city: one against the municipal administration, referring to the stadium issue, emphasizing that during the works, Taranto will have to play on its home ground; Another sign pointed the finger at the company, calling it non-compliant. Thus, the debate rages, especially on social media, about the necessity of Giovi selling the club. Fear that this is just the beginning of escalating economic problems is so high among fans that events on the pitch have certainly subsided. All of this is exacerbated by the already existing controversy over the work required at the “Iacovoni” to restore its appearance in view of the 2026 Mediterranean Games. The most pessimistic see a shaky future in the short term: clubs in financial difficulties and without a stadium. With the ghost of D'Addario's Taranto who won the Lega Pro on the field 12 years ago, but succumbed to penalties and was then written off in the summer. According to others, the optimists, it is instead a purely official hiccup and the season still needs to be played and “dreamed about”.

Impacts on the team?

One wonders now to what extent this penalty in the standings will affect the mood of the group and the race for the first places in the qualifiers. In his career, Capuano has crossed more turbulent seas than today. For this reason, he will try to isolate his men from fears on the eve of Monday's match with league leaders Juventus Stabia, a match that will be held behind closed doors by decision of the Campania authorities. Among the Ionian players there will be no ineligible players. The condition of the injured Mastromonaco and Ferrara, who missed the last match against Virtus Francavilla, must be checked.
