Del Nido challenges Castro and shareholders do not approve of Sevilla's management

MADRID, 30 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Sevilla FC held an Ordinary General Meeting this Thursday in which the shareholders did not approve the accounts or the management of the Council for the 2021/22 season, despite which José Castro remains in the presidency after a tense session with José María del Nido, who put an expiration date on the position.

The general director, José María Cruz, was in charge of presenting points 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the agenda at the Meeting, which resulted in a vote disapproved of each and every one of them by the red-and-white shareholders.

"The shareholders did not approve the Annual Accounts and the Management Report -with 52.22% votes against and 43.25% in favor-, as well as the Management of the Board of Directors -with 57.18% of against and 42.67% in favor-, the Statement of Non-Financial Information -with 51.76% against and 42.85% in favor-, and the Distribution of results for the year ended -with 52 04% against and 46.40% in favor-", Sevilla said in a statement.

"Compared with the previous year, even though both are negative, there are 17 million less losses, increasing income by 40 million euros, adding ordinary and extraordinary. They are losses, which hurt, with bad results, but they are the ones that reflect the situation of the entity," said Cruz. In addition, the general manager highlighted the performance of Sevilla FC in the Impulse Plan designed by LaLiga.

Meanwhile, in an extensive speech, Pepe Castro pointed out that the Andalusian club has "a planned future to continue in the elite" and announced steps forward in the stadium and the sports city, a three-year plan for the youth academy and a return to the model successful buying and selling of players.

However, Castro had to face the tense moment in which Del Nido, former president of the club, asked to vote to dismiss the Council but was rejected. The one who was president of Sevilla from 2002 to 2013 has announced his intention to return to the club last year and, after the Board, pointed to the illegality of what happened.

"We are the maximum shareholders and they do not want any type of agreement. They want to continue governing. They have not answered any questions. They have denied the right to information. It has been a paripé. I am not going to reveal the actions that we are going to take, but this It does not have a journey of more than two or three months. The Board of Directors, by mandate of its General Meeting, has been terminated," said Del Nido.
