On the night of last Wednesday, the ticket 82, named the Corinthians Grand Movement (MCG), held an event at Parque São Jorge with supporters and club members with the aim of discussing the next steps in Corinthians' politics. Osmar Stabile was present and, revealing the support of the ticket for his temporary management, asked for changes at Parque São Jorge.
In the first moment, the interim president justified the Corinthians' renewal with Nike , a supplier of sports materials that has been working with the club since 2003. The club had proposals from Adidas, but ultimately accepted the agreement with the former partner. According to Stabile, this path was the most correct to follow aiming for a better future at Parque São Jorge.
We brought the best for Corinthians, the most advantageous. We agreed with Nike because we did a risk study and realized what was best for Corinthians, so as not to leave a cursed inheritance.... "Excuse my language, a cursed inheritance would be the following: a problem that goes forward for the next president to deal with and have to spend millions on a problem left by another president. This is what we do not want," began the interim president in a video released by him. Corinthian Identity.
If you chose Adidas , if the Corinthians had to face extensive and costly legal proceedings, as Nike invoked an automatic renewal clause in the old contract until 2029. This is the "cursed inheritance" mentioned by Stabile. Therefore, the black-and-white leadership preached taking the less risky path: Nike will yield R$ 59 million annually for ten years.
Stabile completed one month of interim mandate this Friday . He commands the club until August 9th, when a general assembly of members decides on the full impeachment of Augusto Melo or the return of the former president to power at Corinthians. Inclusive, if the first option occurs, Stabile could run as a fixed president until the end of the three-year term, but he should not proceed with a candidacy .
Even so, the interim president called on the members to vote for the completion of the impeachment. According to Stabile, Augusto's management left the club "disorganized" and now it is up to the members to decide on a change.
You might think that the time frame is too short. But we shouldn't look at the time frame, we should focus exactly on what we can do within this time frame. We are working, organizing, making Corinthians, especially, have better management than it had before. Because there was no management... T The department was disorganized. "We are organizing the foundation, professional side, all these departments to improve Corinthians," he said in his speech to the members.
We have a very strong team supporting us here, everyone calls it Chapa 82, the (Movement) Big Corinthians. We have a huge group supporting us from behind, giving credibility so we can work. On August 9th... This is not an election. I don't want banners, shirts, we don't want a party here for voting. What we want to tell you is that there is a need to make changes. "We want to let the associate decide what is best for Corinthians. And what is best for Corinthians is to make the necessary change," he concluded.
Through social media, MCG explicitly expressed support for the complete removal of Augusto Melo. The official who was impeached by the council members continues to be involved in political disputes at Parque São Jorge and in legal disputes after the impeachment. indictment for criminal association, qualified theft, and money laundering in police investigation in the VaideBet case.
