Parma captain Alessandro Lucarelli slams the FIGC and Carlo Tavecchio, saying that regulations aren’t sufficient to protect clubs.
The Ducali have not played their last two Serie A fixtures as the club battles against bankruptcy, with no-one at the club having been paid since July.
“Tavecchio saying that he wants the accounts taken to court immediately shows that he wants to wash his hands of this and hand things over to the courts,” Lucarelli told Rai Due.

The Ducali have not played their last two Serie A fixtures as the club battles against bankruptcy, with no-one at the club having been paid since July.
“Tavecchio saying that he wants the accounts taken to court immediately shows that he wants to wash his hands of this and hand things over to the courts,” Lucarelli told Rai Due.
“He and [Maurizio] Beretta must take some responsibility. The rules don’t protect clubs and their employees enough.
“If you allow a club not to pay wages for seven months, and change Presidents several times in a month it means there are some gaps.
“If no-one helps us, it’s declared that on 20 March we won’t exist anymore [the bankruptcy hearing is on March 19]. I hope that doesn’t happen, we want to play until the end.
“We hoped for real help from those governing us, but they’ve all woken up now.
“We want protection all around, we don’t want to be carried until the end of the season, we want them to help us not to die.
“We have the voice to speak, but other clubs are struggling. To date, we haven’t seen anyone from the Lega or the FIGC.
“It would be enough to see their presence, their slightest interest. This is a collapsing club, every day something gets carried away [by bailiffs].
“There is no club, just us and the Coach.”
President Giampietro Manenti yesterday said for the first time he could sell the club, but Lucarelli is not encouraged by those words.
“Manenti’s latest statements show a lack of understanding of the situation we’re in at Parma.
“He says everything, then the opposite: ‘I’ll sell, I won’t sell, I’m staying I’m leaving…’, Manenti has been at Parma for almost a month, he’s spoken three or four times to the team, but we haven’t seen anything.
“I hope he can do what he says, but the more time that passes, the harder it is to have confidence in him.”
