After a new extraordinary shareholders meeting José María Del Nido Benaventemain opponent of the board of directors chaired by his son José María Del Nido Carrasco, spoke to the media present at the Meliá Lebreros Hotel to announce his assessment of a new battle for power in the Sevilla FC.
Del Nido Benavente, who defended that he had the right to vote on the item on the agenda regarding the dismissal of the members of the board of directors, recalled, before the board was constituted, that he represented 46,046 sharesa figure considerably higher than 50% of the share capital present this Wednesday at the assembly.
In the last item on the agenda, requests and questions, Del Nido Benavente attacked his son head-on. «I want to record that the board of directors has not won any vote without legal tricks. This is illegal advice», he began by saying before referring to the new stadium project, stating that «Under no circumstances, not even for free, will I approve the project of the new Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán». «And even less, the nonsense that he exposed at the previous meeting. A new Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán will be built. I will do it, not youwhich does not have the majority. “I have plenty of actions to back off the project,” he added. «Go away. Nobody loves him. Do you want compensation to live? I pay it. You now take away the security at the door of your house and the pressure. “Don’t do any more damage to Sevilla, you can’t handle the position,” he said in conclusion.
Once the meeting was over, Del Nido Benavente spoke to the media present. In his usual vehement tone, the former president of the club recalled that “the round and fat figures are 49,300 actions in favor of the dismissal of the council and 37,000 against». «In the last meeting we were already at 9,000 above and we are already at 12,000. The social outcry that exists against the president that is seen Sunday after Sunday in the Sánchez-Pizjuán is translated to the meetings.
«It is a truism, but in capital companies capital rules. If not, they would be societies of guitarists, of innkeepers, of friends…”, he would later indicate before inviting his son again to leave the club: “What you have to do is leave. Don’t you realize that the jacket is not yours and that it is too big for you? It hurts me a lot because he is my son, but what do you want me to say to him? There are times when it seems like he deliberately does things wrong.. No one gives me Sevilla lessons. “Let them stop fantasizing.”
In addition, he wanted to reassure Sevillistas regarding his partner 777 Partners and the news that talks about their financial problems. «Don’t worry about the Americans, absolutely nothing is happening and we have everything under control.o. They haven’t put it up for sale, that’s a lie. 777 Partners has a whopping zero shares in Sevilla FC. Problems for José María del Nido and his group? “Zero,” he indicated.
To conclude, he referred to the team’s sporting situation after winning the derby: «I am hoarse because I enjoyed winning once again. It’s true that it’s normal, but, you know, it’s always nice. From a football perspective, I liked the Bilbao match. I liked it a lot. I had my doubts about the distance with the goalkeeper and the centre-backs, and the two wingers are giving a magnificent performance. The day Lukebakio believes it, he will play for any team in Europe and I hope they succeed. What I want is for them to make me champion of Europe, that’s what gives me satisfaction.. I am here only because of my status as a Sevilla player. If it weren’t for that, I would take the 110 kilos they give me for my actions and I would run. At my age, I have to spend seven or eight million a year. “My wife asks me every day.”
Finally, he was asked about Fabrice Pastorof which he declared the following: «I spoke with him two years ago and something. He told me he wasn’t interested in football. If you are interested, what you have to do is buy shares.
