Miguel Pinto Lisboa has defended the deal that brought Marcos Edwards to Sporting, saying it was only in bad faith that it “arguably was a bad deal for Vitoria”. “In the January market they said the targets couldn’t be met, but we made both the sales and the salary block cut. It can only be said in bad faith that Edwards’ deal was a bad deal. It’s a bad deal. It’s true we lost a great athlete, but the truth is That we have to be able to fulfill our responsibilities. We have to sell one or two players a year. Selling is mandatory,” he noted, leaving behind more attacks.

“Many say the financial situation is dire, but we have heard this in the past, with goals we understand what it is. We believe in Vitoria, in Vitoria’s strength and have management skills so that Vitoria solves its problems organically and the restructuring plan aims to European rehabilitation every year.”
