Martimo’s board of directors approves the sale of 40% of SAD to the former player :: Zerozero.pt

On Thursday, Maritimo’s board of directors approved the sale of 40% of Madeiran’s shares to Alex Bunbury, the former Canadian striker who represented the club at the end of the last century.

“Everything went well. “The club was able to talk to my financial backers (KE International and Julius Kwale), lawyers from both sides were present and we had a great platform for understanding,” the former player said, in his statements. Statements by JM.

The offer accepted by Maritimo’s management will be set at 17.5 million euros for 40% of the club’s capital in red and green SAD, which could rise to 36 million, according to O Jogo. He remains interested in obtaining land to build a new sports city for the club, with the aim of improving the training capacity of the main team, the second team and the women’s team.

Alex Bunbury attended the meeting accompanied by his lawyer, providing the necessary assurances that the funds would be available once the agreement was signed and given the green light by Marítimo shareholders at a general meeting. The General Assembly to vote on the investment in question is scheduled to be held in October, with the club having the right to object to key decisions.

Last March, Bunbury, who played for Maritimo between 1993 and 1998, had already addressed this interest: “Taking into account the conversation we had, the president is in tune with my convictions that Maritimo needs to be a bigger club, with better players and better players.” . Better infrastructure. Maritimo is one of the biggest Portuguese clubs and, therefore, must be one of the best teams in Portugal. I hope everything progresses. As I mentioned previously, the meeting was very good. I want to tell all the sailors that I believe in this president, and if it wasn’t true I wouldn’t say it, especially because I know the fans want me to be honest with them. I know the president wants what’s best for Marítimo and I saw his feelings. If all goes well, this could be great, but there is more to it than it needs to be done right. It was a very promising day. Maritimo has to be a regional, national and global brand, because it has audiences all over the world and we need to engage them. We also have to care about the fans here, we have to respect them and show that we value them. I want this club to be bigger, to have the best infrastructure, the best players, and I want Madeira to benefit from all of this. The gym is very important to me, as are better training facilities and a stadium that can generate revenue. We have accepted mediocrity for too long. When I played we never accepted that. So the mentality has to change.”
