José Castro: “Del Nido seems ill with removing the Council”

“Monchi wanted to go to Aston Villa to earn a lot of money”

“We don’t have a sponsor yet because we aspire to the maximum possible”

MADRID, 27 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The president of Sevilla FC, José Castro, lamented that José María del Nido is “sick” with wanting to “remove” the Board of Directors of the Andalusian team, after an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting this Thursday “for a particular interest and not for the sevillistas”.

“Del Nido seems sick with taking away from the Council that there is and that it is achieving the successes that it is achieving. It is unfortunate that we have to meet here on July 27 for a particular interest and not for those of Seville. We have been there and we have complied with the obligation if a shareholder with more than 5% requested an Extraordinary Meeting, although he is only interested in him and him,” said Castro.

The president of the Andalusian team appeared before the media after the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting had finished. “The reality is that the fact that we have a Board today does not help planning at such an important time,” he said.

“Mr. Del Nido has not collaborated, he only makes problems, he only promises and never achieves anything. Planning is underway but we must be patient, because we have a large number of players and we have to free up space, due to economic and We must not forget that we are back in the Champions League and I only ask for a little patience because we are going to form a great squad”, he added.

On the other hand, Castro insisted on Sevilla’s successes with two European titles in the last five years. “Here is the seventh Europa League. We do everything very badly and we have to throw ourselves out, but in the last five years we have won two, we will do something right. Not everything is good, we started badly but we were able to rectify, bring players and a magnificent coach who made us champions”, he stated about the change of course in time with José Luis Mendilibar.

“While we were doing that, there are those who requested a judicial administrator for Sevilla FC. We would not have been able to sign anything, neither players nor coach and we would be like Málaga, to whom I do not wish anything bad. That is the affection that Mr. Del Nido has for him. has the club”, he added.

In addition, Castro pointed out that he already expected it to be a legal session. “I don’t know the actions it has or if the support is lasting or not. I only know that the law, on the issue of minorities, where it is clear, cannot vote for the expulsion of the directors because it already did so in 2018 when it added to their advisors,” he said.

“He only talks when he is interested in the agreement, which is for eight years and we have been there for four. Everything is in court. I don’t know how many lawsuits he has filed against me, ten, twelve, fourteen… All of them are also filed,” he added. , before being asked about Monchi’s departure.

“Monchi would have gone with Del Nido or with Arcángel San Gabriel, because it was clear that he was going to leave. He is a professional to thank for everything he has done good for us, but the reality is that he wanted to go to Aston Villa as any professional to earn a lot of money and what we wish him is the best. I will see later if he has given up his shares, it would be the detail because there are twenty shares, but when I see it I will issue my opinion, “he concluded.

On the other hand, Castro referred to the search for a sponsor. “We do not have a sponsor yet, not because we do not want to, but because we do not want to accept the amounts offered yet, we consider that we deserve more and we aspire to the maximum possible,” he settled.
