The Battle in the Boardroom

He still sits just to the left, in earshot of the directors box so that he can irritate them with his comments and chants. He said to his son ‘just leave, nobody likes you, if you’re worried about your finance I’ll pay you a stipend’

The son’s excuse about a lack of sponsor doesn’t wash though.
Caparrós sits nearby too, maybe he’s itching for another crack at the managers job.

It is going to be crazy in December 2024 when the mandate ends. They still waiting on the principal court decision which was castor’s appeal I think. It going to get even more messy as father and son fight for presidency! lol

Anyone knows or has any detailed info if Sevilla FC can be purchased/acquired (controlling shares) by someone else (e.g. Valencia style with Lim)?

This is a real shame. First the radio channel and now the TV side. I’ve made some friends over the years with folks who work behind the scenes.

I’m sure it’s expensive to run the channel, but probably cheaper than one manager being fired before his contract is out.

Two seasons without a main sponsor is ridiculous. Surely they could’ve paid for the TV station with the money offered, even if it was below expectation.

I suppose using social media channels rather than an internal channel provides opportunities for sharing and growing global awareness of the club. Hopefully they can retain most of the staff for producing online content.

Why not give the front of the jersey to a charity partner such as SFC Foundation? Better to have a worthy cause on the shirt and no money coming in, rather than a blank shirt and an empty bank balance

Yeah, I actually think this is a smart business move for that exact reason: the TV production is useless in this day and age, and 90% of the staff will stick around for continued work on media. TV is for dinosaurs at this point. :t_rex:

I think the TV station is an easy to run operation, all they do is show repeats of old games, adverts and a few pre-season games. What they really needed to do was to bring it to life with more interaction with the players, instead they let it get stale and the advertising revenue dried up.

Four consecutive years of financial losses for the club according to news sources, this most recent 23-24 year the biggest loss to date at over €80m. Boardroom battles look certain to become more heated leading up to the December shareholders meeting.

I’m assuming these loses include the infrastructure costs at the training center? Even then, that number seems absolutely bonkers. Where is the money going?

I just read the competing accounts of the fight between the club and the supporter’s groups now. It seems the club has taken over ownership of the ticket distribution from the FPS. The FPS is saying that the club has broken trust and is trying to garner favoritism through handing out tickets to a few and the club is denying all accounts of the FPS statement.

I don’t have a lot of familiarity on how things are run in the supporter’s group and pe ña’s, but this seems like a total mess and is just going to escalate an already tense situation.

The Board of Directors of Sevilla FC has decided that the next general meeting of shareholders will be held after the Christmas holidays, on January 10, 2025. Without prejudice to the fact that the agenda will be published in due course, which will necessarily include the appointment of new directors and the approval of the annual accounts, the decision is being advanced so that shareholders can take it into account when organizing such special dates.
