Lazio's players are hoping Friday's board meeting will finally bring an end
to their crippling off-field problems.
The Rome giants were put up for sale on November 13 by president Sergio
Cragnotti following the financial crisis that hit the club's largest
shareholder, Cirio, a food company also headed by the Cragnotti family.
A new owner is set to be unveiled tomorrow with Cragnotti stepping down from
his position.
"I think tomorrow will be an important day for Lazio to put things right,"
Biancoceleste coach Roberto Mancini told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello
Sport.
The playing staff are certainly hopeful Mancini is right.
"We hope that in tomorrow's meeting everything spins in the right direction,"
said striker Claudio Lopez.
The club's reported debt of ?3million has increased speculation that certain
players may be sold during the transfer window.
Mancini, though, is keen to hang on to the players that have guided the club
to third place in Serie A, just a point behind leaders AC Milan.
"I hope that no one will go," he said. "We started this adventure together
and we want to continue until the end."
Lopez added : "From our point of view, we are ready to give our maximum to
work hard and continue what we have started so well."
