The Battle in the Boardroom

Saying that del nido senior is considering a third way and selling his shares. That might be the best route to stop this and just give it to someone new take over who can vote without all these pact issues, etc.

Although he just considering it and we know he will not want to do this unless he knows the avenue for him to be president is closed for good. Even he must be getting a bit disheartened constantly losing every battle to first Castro and now his son Del nido Junior.

The solution is clear to me. The board should remove both parties and hire a third-party president. Egos will not allow that though.

I agree. However, now there is talk that del nido senior potentially has fooled junior letting him vote slightly and it was agreed in silence that the Americans pretended to betray Del nido senior.

In order to get junior to allow him to vote a bit and mess up communication with CDC. That he might be able to call another meeting and vote fully. This is crazy with before trying guys to out fox each other. God knows how this ends up now! lol

Back in court probably. More money spent on lawyers at the club’s expense.

It sounds like the Americans will decide the fate of the board. We wait to see if they go or with current council or Del Nido Benavente team.

Del nido Senior can now vote enough to forge a majority to become president but needs the Americans help. It comes down to Americans to chose so huge few days in future of the club.

I imagine both sides are doing their best to convince the Americans. It all comes to the Americans! Haha

Americans join Del nido Junior and Castro. The board has a majority vote. It game over for del nido senior. We might finally get some stability at least.

It over for a while now I feel.

While I don’t truly trust this board, I trust senior less. Weird to see the Americans go full circle back to the Castro camp.

True but I’m glad this saga will end for a while now. It is true they went full circle and between both camps.

Hopefully for now they can try work together and bring some much needed stability to the football club.

I am by no means an expert in corporate governance, takeovers, nor sporting governance, but my intuition is that this strategy tells you something about the end goal of the Americans (wish they didn’t always call them that, tbh
770 or whatever they’re called).

Specifically, if you’re 770 and want to club to be turning a quick profit on your initial investment, you’d want governance to be solid, clear, and stable. If, on the other hand, your goal is to get a majority stake and fully take over, your goal would be to weaken governance so that you can commandeer enough resources to become majority shareholder/owner.

So yeah, if you happen to understand investments, that all probably sounds like gobbledygook, but my feeble attempt at reading the tea leaves of what the heck is going on with our death SFC at a corporate/board level.

Hopefully someone here knows a lot more about investment groups and their strategy and can improve upon my gobbledygook attempt at sense making.

How much truth is in this?

Monchi, Eldesmarque owner and another businessman gathering to acquire controlling shares in Sevilla FC. Around 500M Euros needed to restart the club and aim for glory.

@TimSpence2 ? @Brian ?

@ChrisLail ?

Rumour gaining pace?

Not that I understand much on this, but it sure sounds exciting.

Monchi returning to Sevilla with a bunch of investors, aiming for glory?

Why not?

I hope so :folded_hands:

I wouldn’t hold out hope on this being a swift takeover. I read (think it was AS) that they’d have to convince at least some of the current shareholders to sell them the shares at market value, rather than perceived value. They’d also have to convince Del Nido Sr to abandon his own aspirations to retake control, all of which could be a difficult task.

The perceived value for this club if not already shit, will be shit very soon once we relegate to Segunda.

If not this season, next season 100% with the current ownership and overall management, guaranteed.

So they better sell and make way for someone who genuinely loves the club and has given more to the club than any of these bastards could ever, even if they’re reborn and live to 100 for a billion times.

Rumor is they’re trying to negotiate an early exit for Victor Orta.

But why in the hell try and get the current sportive director of fucking
 ALAVES!?

Because he actually found a center forward that can score goals in
47 year old Kike Garcia. haha

We couldn’t do much worse right now :rofl:

We should take a punt on Sandro. Just kidding. A useless footballer as he proved again last night!

Alaves’ most money spent on a transfer is 4million euros done twice, in 23/24 for Antonio Blanco and in 18/19 for John Guidetti.

Maybe that’s where the FO sees us in the next few years. Max spending - 3/4 million. Keeping Alaves in the top tier 7 of the last 8 years is pretty impressive; however, we aren’t fucking Alaves!
