Thunder going UNDER!
by Super FAN
Definition of a Compulsive liar-ITALO FERRARI.
I have never heard
so many lies in my entire soccer super fan career. After speaking with inside
sources about the Thunder situation, I am embarrassed to have ever gone to
support this organization. I thought there was a future for soccer in hamilton,
but as long as the CPSL allows crooks to buy a franchise, the future for soccer
success is about as hopeful as Italo Ferrari paying his players and telling the
truth. How does this guy sleep at night? He owes over one hundred thousand
dollars to numerous people, and continues to promise payment, but over the past
4 months he hasn't payed a dime to anyone. He boasts that he is a wealthy man
and is putting $500,000 of his own money into this team. B.S. The truth is that
he borrowed the money to pay for the franchise, and was expecting corporate
sponsors to cover all the costs. Guess What? Didn't happen! Now you can see why
nobody has received payment, He's BROKE, He doesn't have any money now, and he
never had any money when he started. He lied to the league, and he continues to
the people that call him to collect payment.
Can someone tell me why the
league has not stepped in yet? Surely they must of been aware of the situation
long ago. Is it that the CPSL does not give a **** about the players that
represent this league? No wonder soccer doesn't go anywhere in Canada, the
president and league representatives don't have a clue!
As far as the
players go, didn't they try to stop this fiasco long ago? Of course they did,
but guess what, they were told they were going to get payed next week and that
the finances had been secured for the rest of the season. Wow, isn't that the
biggest pile of B.S. you have ever heard. This guy just wreeks of it.
By
the way, does this whole financial disaster mean that the Yellow Ford Focus is
no longer up for lottery? What happens to those of us that bought tickets? Did
this guy even have a lottery license? My guess is, f-no! How could he even
afford one?
I hope this matter gets resolved fairly and the players
receive full payment. Also, I hope Mr. Ferrari gets some serious
penalties.
If you have anything to add, please do, because when I find
out more, I will be sure to post it.
