former president of Botafogo, Carlos Augusto Montenegro took stock of his 30 years politically linked to General Severiano this Saturday (8/1) and was in favor of the definitive signing of the club’s football with John Textor.
In a video released by the Bastidores da Arquibancada channel, on YouTube, Montenegro invited all Botafogo partners to vote to approve the proposal presented by the XP for PURE. The former director also praised Textor and said he was thrilled with the arrival of the American investor.
– I think it’s a victory for Botafogo. I would like to take this opportunity to urge all Botafogo people to vote for this project.. We will have a vote on the 13th of the Deliberative Council and on the 14th a General Assembly. John Textor arrived in a simple, direct and optimistic way. A person who had a direct empathy with the crowd and moved me at times. It’s hoping to get it right. It’s a new experience for Botafogo. It’s a new experience for Brazilian football. Of course we’re going to have some obstacles, etc. But we had no way out. We have to cheer, help, pray and do what we can to make it work. – opined.
– Only the separation of football from the club is a goal. It ends with politics, ends with people giving their opinion, trying to command, being this and being that, the group of A, group of B, the group of C… Imagine, I’ve been trying to bring the professional part to Botafogo for three years. I tried with the first project of the Laertius, I tried with the brothers (Moreira Salles) helping, then I tried to make the project live with the Gustavo de Almeida Magalhaes. Then, XP entered the game, much more robust, very strong, and brought this very serious candidate who already has some knowledge of football. Anyway, I think we’re on the right path.
