Roma President James Pallotta has branded reports of a Qatari takeover ‘fake news’.

Roma are already sponsored by Qatar Airways, and it had been reported that the club were open to investment from the gulf state.

However, Pallotta responded on Twitter: “Siri, show me fake news.”

The American has owned the Giallorossi since 2012, but he has been accused of regularly selling the club’s best players.

Roma President James Pallotta pointed criticism at Monchi and Eusebio Di Francesco, but told the players to “stand up and show they have balls. No more alibis for anyone.”

The Giallorossi suffered two consecutive Serie A defeats to SPAL and Napoli under caretaker manager Claudio Ranieri.

In his brief statement on the official Twitter feed, Pallotta implied the blame was on now departed Coach Di Francesco and director of sport Monchi.

Former Roma President Rosella Sensi hit back at current patron James Pallotta’s “incorrect versions of history used as alibis.”

The controversy was stirred up again when Pallotta gave an interview to Real Vision.

“When we bought the club, they were in serious financial difficulty. The previous owners, while doing a good job on the field for a few years, borrowed money from other companies and incurred large amounts of debt.

James Pallotta says Roma hope to start playing at their new stadium ‘in three years’ as ‘it’ll be the most widely-used venue in all of southern Europe.’

The Stadio della Roma project has been the subject of much controversy since its conception, but Pallotta is confident the green light will be given soon.

“In three years we hope to have the stadium,” the club’s President told Real Vision.

“I think me coming in was interesting for Roma. I arrived as one of the three passive investors.

James Pallotta has confirmed Roma’s plans to start work on their new stadium ‘this year’ as it is what the club ‘deserve’.

The Stadio della Roma appeared to be on course for construction, but project was thrown into chaos last week after it was caught up in an investigation into possible corruption.

There has even been talk of a new site for the proposed venue, but Pallotta made it clear nothing had changed on the Giallorossi’s part.

Sampdoria President Massimo Ferrero admits he’d love to take over his beloved Roma “as soon as James Pallotta gets his pension.”

The movie producer is from the Capital and a lifelong Giallorossi supporter.

He had been linked with the takeover of Roma, but eventually purchased Sampdoria in 2014.

As a guest on Domenica In this afternoon, Ferrero was asked if he’d be interested in taking over Roma.

A new proposal to move the Stadio Della Roma project to the area near Fiumicino Airport has emerged after yet more arrests and delays.

The plans to build in the Tor di Valle site were finally given some form of approval by the local authorities, only for the whole affair to be caught up in an investigation into possible corruption.

With yet more arrests this week and the politicians involved in giving the all-clear to this and other projects either quitting or being dismissed, the situation remains in absolute chaos.
