After the president’s rudeness Javier Milei By not attending the ratification of the 2030 World Cup and not sending any front-line officials or answering the invitations today, the meeting in the United States with the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino. And one of the topics that the Argentine president will surely discuss will be that of Sports Joint Stock Companies (SAD).
It is known that the relationship between the AFA and Miley has been tense for several months due to the controversial issue of Sports Joint Stock Companies.
Soccer questions the President of the Nation why, if he is against the interventions of the state, he has to interfere in the decisions of Argentine soccer.
There are those who are convinced that the DNU, which obliges all sports governing organizations to incorporate the SAD into their statutes within one year, is a return of favors to Mauricio Macri. The former president of Boca and the Nation substantially supported Milei’s candidacy and these measures are part of compensation for that “bank.”
The Argentine football world fears that progress on the SAD issue will deepen at this meeting and, for this reason, they came out to show their disagreement during the last two weekends.
The promotion is opposed
The Argentine promotion clubs are not willing to take a step back from the idea of Miei and his allies for the establishment of the SAD. That is why they have already begun to show their rejection.
The Deportivo Paraguayo and Deportivo Español teams took to the field wearing a t-shirt that sported the slogan “Club=Members. I vote no to the SAD.”
This same type of rejection began to be seen last weekend in the Federal A Tournament and is proliferating in the different categories of Argentine soccer.
The campaign began with Federal A, where the vast majority of football clubs came out with posters and banners showing their rejection of the SAD.
It is worth remembering that on November 14, The Professional Football League expressed its position against public limited companies after the statements of the then candidate for president for ‘La Libertad Avanza’ by Javier MileAnd he also pointed out Mauricio Macri for questioning the competition format of the First Division.
Also, the AFA questioned the SAD model and pointed out the leaders who promote them, such as the cases of Juan Sebastian Veronpresident of Students and Andres Fassi, from Workshops. In fact, the AFA will present an initiative in the short term so that clubs can receive foreign investments without putting their social status at risk.
Lalín reappeared
The former president of Racing Daniel Lalín evaluated on the arrival of the Sports Joint Stock Companies (SAD) to Argentine football that the discussion “is more than 25 years old and is never well raised.”
“There are teams that are already managed at this moment such as Talleres de Córdoba or Deportivo Riestra. This discussion is more than 25 years old and is never well posed. In Racing, football was managed through a society, not the club. There was never a deep debate on the issue,” said Lalín. in statements to the program “El Show de los Grandes”, on radio Splendid AM 990.
And he added: “What different things would the managers do today in relation to what the leaders do? I mean the bad. Why does the Primera championship have more than 20 teams? It is the latest idiotic invention of Julio Grondona and Chiqui (Claudio Tapia) follows him because he is a lively barbarian and it suits him.”
“Racing does things quite well and in 2023 sold players for $43 million. Blanquiceleste sold Chiquito (Sergio) Romero for two million. You can be alive in a non-profit civil association and in a public limited company, Just as you can be stupid in both areas. It can go well for you or it can go badly for you,” the former leader continued.
Along these lines, he remarked: “Are you less of a fan of a club because they are managing it? In the negotiation that the civil association does with the manager, you can raise a lot of things such as support for amateur sports. It all depends on negotiation, we should not be afraid of the SAD. They are going to make the same mistakes as the leaders today, but we must ensure that they have enough capital to have a competitive team.
They are not the solution
He City Group It is one of the most important companies in the world and this weekend it was in the spotlight. Manchester City It is its main product, but the group has another handful of clubs that go through a reality very far from the La Liga team. Premier League.
In France, Troyes, one of the City Group clubs, lost the category for the second consecutive time. In this way, in just over a year, it went from Ligue 1 to the third division, where it will compete from the second semester.
On social networks, users took this example to demonstrate against the SAD.
“This is what is coming to Independiente if it is sold to City Group“. And he added another example: “Torque also fell in Uruguay“.
Others posted: “The dark side of the City Group and Sports Joint Stock Companies“, summarized one of them. Another, on the other hand, used the news of one of the LaLiga teams that fought for the title to his advantage: “Girona is part of the City Group. There is everything“.
