Serie B leaders Bari have won promotion to Serie A on Friday night without even playing“This is a fantastic opportunity,” said Barton. “The Bari fans are passionate about their team and with new management we hope to grow this franchise into one of the most successful and competitive in Europe. We have been working very closely with the family to ensure a smooth transition and both parties are supportive of a positive outcome for the team.”
Mr. Barton said he first heard the team was for sale when he was in southern Italy on a business trip to develop environmentally friendly energy investments a few months ago. Alessio Mora, the Director of JMJ’s European operations, introduced Mr. Barton to the family and has acted as an intermediary for the deal.
“For all who have sent congratulations and warm greetings, we thank you,” said Barton. “We have received thousands of emails and the warmest welcome from the fans and the city. We hope the next 30 days will just be a formality and that we can close this transaction by the end of September and begin a new tradition for AS Bari.” (fresnobee)
