A BOLA – Film General Sports Association

The new General Assembly of Sporting will be held next Saturday due to the release of reports and accounts for the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons. The agenda included only two items: the vote on the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 reports and accounts, both of which will be rejected on September 30. At the end of the evening, it was learned that the partners had approved the two documents with 83.94 percent and 84.5 percent of the vote, respectively.

“In terms of material uncertainty, it is not in the club, but in SAD. Unfortunately, there has always been during the history of SAD, something that we have been catching up with over the years. The only time an auditor has stated that there is a significant risk to the viability of the agency has been in Summer 2018, for the reasons we know. [invasão à Academia de Alcochete]. Yes, it was the worst moment. As for the changed accounts, we came to vote on exactly the same accounts, because we made sure to re-evaluate these accounts and had a new statement from auditors who were confident in their testimony. He concluded that there are no changes, and no re-audit will be necessary.”

Out of respect for this story I would not give any kind of consideration to this board’s work. “Let’s leave out the main criticisms when we discuss the electoral platforms. In a few months we will have elections and then we will discuss projects and people. I will vote for the budget because Sporting accounts should be above all else. The modalities are worth it.”

5:15 p.m.: Felipe Soares Franco, president of Sporting between 2005 and 2009, speaks to reporters while in line. I don’t think the accounts are not approved. Partners recognize the excellent work that President Varandas’ team is doing. “It is necessary to agree to these accounts,” he said, responding to criticism of the current directorate: “I don’t understand, it is something that should be done at the end of the mandate and not before. Moreover, if the accounts are correct, there is no reason not to approval.”

There was an important common denominator to clarify. Today, the number of €20 million in debt owed to the club has been mentioned several times. It is frequent spreading a rumor, a lie, and then people are convinced that lying many times will make it true, but it will never be true. It’s not 20 million euros, it’s 300,000 euros.”
