Lazio president Lotito in damage control after Carpi swipe

Lazio president Claudio Lotito reportedly fears little Carpi winning promotion from Serie B.

Lotito is in damage control today after a phonecall with a director of Lega Pro side Ischia Isolaverde, was leaked and published by La Repubblica.

He allegedly told Pino Iodice: "If Carpi come up… if teams come up who are not worth a cent, in two or three years we won't have a penny.

"I've done well in selling the TV rights, we brought in €1.2 billion thanks to my skill. I managed to find an agreement between Sky and Mediaset, which in 10 years no-one had been able to do.

"If in three years we have Latina, Frosinone, who would buy those rights? They don't even know where Frosinone is."
