This past weekend the Sevilla supporters clubs They held an annual meeting that marked the 18th edition of an integrated event organized, in this case at a hotel in Portugal, by the San Fernando Federation of Sevillistas Clubs.
More than 600 participants and up to 80 registered clubs experienced three days of coexistence, but this time the presence of the club was missing. With the relations broken by the council with the Federation of Supporters Clubs, neither the president, nor the vice president, nor the sports director, nor any official of the club wants to accompany the fans of the native of Sevilla in this annual meeting. Former players like it Beto, Dragutinovic or Curro Sanjoséas well as the association of veterans, appeared and actively participated in the events.
Enrique de la Cerda, the only advisor associated with José María del Nido Benavente, can be considered the only representation of the club, which was criticized, from the beginning, by the highest representative of all supporters’ clubs, Carlos Jiménez , president of the Federation of Peñas.
“It is unfortunate that Sevilla FC is not represented here. He doesn’t want there. In September, we extended the invitation, but in recent months they have taken it upon themselves to unilaterally break relations with the Federation of Supporters Clubs and that is not natural. There should be a good understanding with the club. Supporters’ clubs should not be involved in that, we cannot leave Sevilla FC and, despite everything, the message is an outstretched hand so that we can recover relations,” Jiménez declared at the meeting in the Portuguese Algarve.
“Until this Friday, we have been inviting them and insisting in writing that they are here. This past week we even exchanged a series of emails. They refused. It is clear from their responses that they do not want to come,” he added. All as a result of the announcement by the Federation of Supporters’ Clubs not to support the management of the current leaders, which resulted in the club breaking the relationship with this body which, as the only authorized form of relationship between the clubs of the supporters and the clubs, even He came to inform LaLiga of this situation.
This, logically, was taken advantage of by Del Nido Benavente, the main opponent and the intention was to remove all members of the board, starting with his son as president, in his capacity as the largest shareholder. The former top president gave
a mass bath in front of the supporters and explained his project, as well as remembering that in the next December Meeting Seville will have to let him vote because the grouping of the parts where the table prevented him to do so in previous Meetings have already expired.
