Roma President Franco Sensi has outlined a conspiracy theory between the League, Juventus and Milan for his team’s current crisis.
The patron already suggested last week’s 2-1 defeat at Bologna was caused by intentional refereeing errors, but following the 2-1 home slip-up to Modena he made sure his message came across clearly.
“They are trying to get rid of Roma,” slammed Sensi in the Italian press, “but we were expecting that. It’s the usual suspects, Paolo Bergamo, Antonio Giraudo and Adriano Galliani .”
Paolo Bergamo is one of the two refereeing designators. Giraudo is a Juventus director and Galliani is the Vice-President of Milan as well as the new League President.
Sensi claims that his summer-long siding with the rebel clubs in the quest for a fair television rights deal has pushed the big sides to punish Roma on the field.
“Farina (who refereed the Modena game, ndr) was worse than the last one, but I was expecting that as well. There is little we can do,” added the Roma President, “so I must win my battle against the League and FA.”
“It is clear that behind certain designations of referees to games there are the usual faces, Bergamo, Giraudo and Galliani.”
For the first time this year Serie A referees are assigned to matches by a draw with lawyer present to ensure there are no suggestions of foul play.
Sensi also claimed that Juventus director general Luciano Moggi had orchestrated the scuffle between angry fans and players at the Trigoria training ground this week.
“There are no fans turning against us. They are forty tramps, all of them Moggi’s men . I know each and every one of them and all they want is money.”
Sensi had threatened to “pull Roma out of Serie A if these refereeing errors continue,” after the Bologna game.
“I will not give in. This week I shall meet with FA President Franco Carraro and make myself heard.”
“I know there are people trying to push me into leaving this club and want to see the end of Roma,” added Sensi, “but I am not going anywhere. I am ready to follow Roma, even if it means dropping into Serie B.”
“I predicted all of this months ago,” he concluded, “but in a little while they could be the ones who get a surprise.”
