We believe that it is not at all impossible for Italian football to regain its pre-decline position and there is even a potential to do even better (…) When we studied the clubs which presented the best attractiveness, we have looked at several situations, but ultimately none in as much detail as the Genoa. What stood out to us was that Genoa is in a city, Genoa, which has had a bit of the same trajectory as the club, the oldest in Italian professional football, and the league. Genoa, with its port, was one of the strongest and wealthiest cities in the world a long time ago (…) We are not short-term investors. We don't have to make money for outsiders at one point in time, it's up to us. The long term will start from next summer. As for the short term, it's a shame that we have this sporting situation, but we accept it and we have to work from January to correct it, “he said. The ASSE page seems to be definitely turned.
