Former Roman executive: The Friedkins saved Rome but rely on some inappropriate people

September 13 Francesco Pastorella is a former head of Sustainability and Community Relations at the Rome Club. She talked about his experience in Trigoria in an interview with Rome TG.

He said: "It was very difficult to work in an environment where you are the only Rome fan. There was a Dutch, an American, a man from Monza and a man from Faenza, who didn't understand what we wanted. I was a fan and I knew what Rome fans wanted. After we won the UEFA Champions League, I hope the trophy could be brought to the four private districts of the city. That's what it should be because the trophy belongs to the fans. They have been supporting us. I also let the visually impaired touch the trophy and one of the ladies lifted the trophy and said 'This The trophy belongs to everyone’, and that moment was moving. ”

"The Friedkins were a solid management, and as I said when I left, now two and a half years have passed, I still think they are the best choice because we were facing bankruptcy when they took over. I witnessed everything Finega did, and he did a lot of work. Then after handing over with De Rossi (who were friends by the way) he wouldn’t tell you that, but I can. "The Friedkins saved Rome and saved it from bankruptcy, and we should always be grateful to them. They are solid, their annual income has doubled and are operating well. Rome is an asset that is not profitable but worth investing, and despite some minor problems, it is all trivial. We have done our best in television broadcasting, and the fans have done their best, but we can do more. They can spend money as much as they please, but spending money wisely is the right thing to do, and they cannot invest 200 million euros a year. ”

"When talking to Dan, especially when I was about to leave, I found him to be a person with depth. His business is worth billions, but he may have relied on some inappropriate people who arranged them based on some suggestions. I can say for sure that the Friedkins are solid, they are spending money, but they bring in the right players. ”
