The arrival of Cristian Medina to Students of La Plata, After businessman Foster Gillett paid Boca the $15 million termination clause, he revived the controversy over the possible arrival of the Sports Joint Stock Companies (SAD) to Argentine football.
One of those who spoke about this issue, once again, was the president Javier Mileywho has been driving the entry of the SAD into the orbit of the AFA beyond the resistance of Claudio Chiqui Tapia and company.
“Students are on their way to being a SAD. It will be for the benefit of its partners and fans. Fortunately, Estudiantes has a president who has not only been an exceptional and exquisite soccer player, but also has important intelligence,” Milei had said in an interview with radio Miter.
And he added: “Verón is seeing it and is taking the club to the right place. I take my hat off. He proved to be a genius on and off the field.”
However, the Brujita He didn’t take that praise as such. “Whether it is the President of the Nation or whoever it is, they can give their opinion and they can say. You have to understand the move and the game. Estudiantes is not going to be a public limited company. We already said it and we are going to continue saying it,” he said in an interview with La Voz Albirroja, this same Saturday.

The Brujita He wanted to bring calm to the fans of the club he presides: “I think we have never failed the fans and we have always been clear. You may often like the decisions more or less, but I think that in these years the club maintained a line of guidance “.
After specifying that they are not “some crazy people who arrived now out of necessity and are going to mortgage the club,” he pointed out that what is coming is “a path of transformation of Argentine football because it is a necessity. “From that is where our way of management and this transition to something new is cemented.” “It is clear that we all have some prejudices or questions, it can even make us uncomfortable, because many believe that we are going to stop being something that we are not going to stop being,” he added.
“It’s something we all have to go through together. It’s not a blank check or anything like that. We’re not improvised,” Verón said. And he added: “We are far from doing crazy things because, I don’t know… we want to bring in five reinforcements. We aim for the club to grow not only in terms of football, but also institutionally.”

We are not crazy, it is something that we have been working and studying and that is what is coming for Argentine soccer. It is something new, a blank page. In the world you have public limited companies, there is the German system, but what is coming in Argentine football is different, it has no precedent and we don’t want to rush,” the Witch continued explaining.
Regarding Foster Gillet, Verón explained: “We found someone who comes to do a business, who sees a business as we see it in football.” The arrival of the investor will only occur after a meeting with the partners, scheduled for the end of February or March, while Verón and company study and diagram the details of that agreement.
