Del Nido: “The one who will rule Sevilla is me”

José María del Nido prepares a coup d'etat to return to the Seville presidency by blowing up the peace pact that the top shareholders signed just seven months ago. The former president is making movements with the intention of ousting José Castro from his position and in the last few hours a video has been circulated through whatssap groups and social networks in which the former president is seen clearly saying that he is going to govern again in the Andalusian club while offering his interlocutor “two, three directors”, or those he wishes on the board of directors.

“When I enter again, I will give you your place; not because you have more actions, but because you deserve it. You tell me what you want. ‘Hey, José María, I want two counselors, three counselors, three hundred … I will never argue with you, because when you asked for two, I gave you two, and when you asked for three, I gave you three. What you want. What I do tell you is that the one who is going to govern the club is me. That is very clear to me. The time has come again and I will repeat it, “Del Nido says strongly as he talks to another person at a beach bar.

This Thursday 'Diario de Sevilla' revealed that Del Nido would be making shareholder movements to regain full control of society and return to sit in the presidential chair, which he had to leave in 2013 when his firm sentence and entry into prison for the Minutas case and its performance at the Marbella town hall. The former president would have violated the social peace signed with the current managers and would be making efforts to find sufficient shareholding support to unseat José Castro, the current president. For this, Del Nido would have approached the group that forms Sevillistas Unidos 2020, which supposedly with foreign capital took over 5% of the capital stock buying from small shareholders. With this, together with the actions that his companies control and the support of another shareholder, José Gómez Miñán, the former president would manage approximately 38% of the share capital, which would be worth it to regain control of the company at the next General Meeting of Shareholders. Last December, before the last shareholders' meeting, the large

shareholder groups signed a governance pact for three years and forget all the previous quarrels and demands between both sides
