On sale for a year, the flop of Torino. Cairo: "I have not received any offers"
Torino's president, Urbano Cairo, has expressed frustration over the lack of offers for the club after announcing his willingness to sell, amidst discontent from fans over the team's poor performance.
Torino FC is struggling this season with only 27 points in the standings, leading to intense dissatisfaction among its dedicated fanbase, which has frequently voiced its displeasure towards club ownership. Recently, in a press conference, president Urbano Cairo acknowledged that despite expressing his willingness to sell the club a year ago, he has not received any offers. This admission comes at a time of growing frustrations, as Cairo faces chants from fans calling for him to sell the club amid a disappointing performance on the field. In the wake of a managerial change, with new coach D'Aversa replacing Baroni, Cairo remains hopeful that the team's situation can improve. He noted that the dissatisfaction from fans, while heavy, motivates him further, stating his sense of responsibility to over a million supporters of the team. Despite the calls for change, he remains resolute in his position and intent on finding a solution that does not simply equate to selling the club. The implications of Cairo's comments highlight the complex relationship between club management and fan expectations. While while Cairo seems committed to turn things around, he must navigate the challenges of addressing the legitimate concerns of the supporters, all while attempting to enhance Torino's standing in Italian football. The current climate indicates that unless significant improvements are made soon, calls for Cairo to step down or for a change of ownership will likely continue to intensify.
