Walsall_FC-logo-DEA58929E9-seeklogo.com.gif


BBC sources have today confirmed that Walsall Chairman Geovanni Calapai has been filed for Bankruptcy. His company Lanzorez Standings has been put into Liquidation and has been confirmed by the Italian Finance Minister and fellow investors. The outcome to massive wage bills on players like Patrick Vieira and Kieron Dyer were reported on 78 000 pounds a week at a club that was not generating alot of revenue. The poor business deals Calapai was involved in such as the Dyer deal are set to rock Walsall Football club with debts up to 9 million pounds and pay off clauses with players like Michael Owen have astronomical wage and appearance fees but was also generating for the club due to his stature in the game. The fans of the club who have enjoyed 2 years in fairy tale land as league 1 winners and big names joining the team have now woken up to a very bleak future of the premiership chasing team. Manager Dennis Bergkamp has failed to comment on the financial state of the team and also may be worrying after a team he has ensambled in the last 2 years could be gone by the beginning of next season if the financial state isnt sorted by January or June. ​

Geovanni Calapai has left Walsall Fc​
.


The recently bankrupt Businessmen has sold the club to the Walsall Football Club Shares Association for the time being. The club will be looking for new investors to rescue the club who are deepening into debt and to also invest into the club. Walsall fans although very angry at Calapai cant deny what he had done at the club whilst at the club. Bringing Arsenal Legend Dennis Bergkamp as manager and high profile players and of course League 1 success last season. He has turned Walsall into a force to reckon with but with a high price. ​
