José María del Nido Benavente, Sevilla’s largest individual shareholder, is clear that at the next Shareholders’ Meeting he will take control of the club. The former president has advanced that Commercial Court number 2 is aware of the challenge, “a matter of 10 or 15 days ago”, of the Extraordinary Meeting of July 27, 2023, in which one of the precautionary measures requested is the obligation to freely vote on the dismissal of members of the board of directors.
“On December 5, a new Seville begins. We We have a number of shares that, due to the share capital that Sevilla has, are impossible to beat. If the vote is clean, there are not enough actions to overcome us,” said Del Nido in Cope Más Sevilla.
“I will lead a council of top-level businessmen and top-level professionals. A profound reform must be undertaken. I already took a piece of hardware in 2002 and the embers are still being enjoyed,” he added in his speech.
“Three years ago at the Shareholders’ Meeting I said that the economic situation was close to causing dissolution. 85 million euros have been lost in three years of playing in the Champions League, we have increased structural expenses by 55%. We have passed “from a staff value of 487 million euros to 218. The working capital is negative by 62 million. Either they begin to cut expenses or we could have problems. There is a warning already in the audit report that expenses be reduced” , precise.
The former president clarifies that Del Nido Carrasco will not be able to be president of Sevilla in the next Meeting as the executive council plans to do. “It is being sold that as a result of the 2019 agreement, the one who has to succeed Castro is Del Nido Carrasco and it is a lie. The one who has to decide is the Del Nido family. If my eldest son has 161 shares against his father, his brothers and my wife, we have 27,000…”, he clarifies.
“It can’t be. And if it is, it will clearly be a breach of the pact. The council has already been notarized. It is the Del Nido family who must appoint him and there is already a judge who says that Mr. Del Nido Carrasco cannot represent me anything regarding Sevilla.”
Del Nido has also been very harsh with Pepe Castro’s partners on the current council. “It’s okay for the Carrión family to hide under the table, the Ales family and the Guijarrro family. This council has gone from having its own funds of 101 million euros in three years to minus 85 and leaving it at minus -13. It is so that the Carrión, Ales, and Guijarro families could consider supporting the board of directors. And with 242 million in debt. “I would like them to have the guts to broadcast a board of directors, the only one who speaks is Del Nido Carrasco and the president does not know the timbre of his voice on important issues.”
“This council operates flat, regardless of the titles, with Monchi always being in the sports management, the executive committee limits itself to presenting some glasses for the museum. Sevilla is the only club in Europe that plays in the Champions League that does not has sponsorship, and they do not fire the 80 employees of the marketing department”, he specified, adding that “when I come in, we will do an audit that will be public and the next day we will no longer talk about debt. In 100 days Sevilla does not know nor the mother who gave birth to him.”
Victor Orta and Diego Alonso
Del Nido has been quite enigmatic about Víctor Orta’s future and has maintained serious doubts about Diego Alonso’s competition. When asked if he will reinforce the team with signings in December, he was very revealing: “We would incorporate in the winter market the players that the sports director who is there at that time indicates. If it is proven that the current coach is the best in the world, he will be. What I want is to enter respecting whoever is in office from the start. I want to think that he will triumph, but in the event that his services have to be dispensed with, I am convinced that he will put his position at the disposal of the council out of honesty,” he said about Orta.
With Alonso he was more critical: “From yesterday (the derby) I am left with my fans and the result. Nothing about the rest. Rakitic’s goal was a great goal, but the image was not good. It was better than the one in London. I I was with my whole family at the game against Arsenal and the image was pitiful. In football you have to be clear about one thing. Either the best or the best play. You want to have the rest of the players active, do it. But if you “He doesn’t have a pedigree, nor is he Guardiola… you have to get the best.”
The Americans
“The American partner, whom I have not brought in, nor have I been enriched by his emergence into the company, has 13 or 14% of shares. He is being a faithful partner and will obtain loyalty. He comes to help, to collaborate and to magnify to Sevilla FC and, given the list of clubs they have taken over, it can help to enhance Sevilla.”
The new stadium
“If when I said three years ago that we had to give the stadium a kick, they had listened to me, today the new Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán would be built. The stadium project that the current council has presented is a bluff. For a project of that magnitude it has to to give its approval to the Shareholders’ Meeting and we have already communicated that in no case are we going to support it and we have notarized asked the board to paralyze any management because the project that is going to be carried out is ours.
