Banfield: Strong statement for the financial situation of the club :: olé

The president of Banfield, Matías Mariotto, He issued a strong statement on the financial and institutional situation of the club. The leader admitted Salary delays For club employees, and argued the need to cancel debts to raise an inhibition that allows it to operate in the passes market.

According to Mariotto, the club dragged a dynamic of expenses that was above its possibilities. Remember: until December 2024, the head of the entity was Eduardo Spinosaof an opposition political sector.

When we assumed we were clear and honest, Banfield's fan claimed transparency and under that premise we acted these months.

The first thing I want to communicate to you is that the club is in full functioning.

We all know that the club's problem is not just a debt or a sports result. I want to be very emphatic in this. Banfield came with an expenses mechanics above their possibilities. That is the equation that explains this present.

We begin to change the course and that is not done overnight.

We are regularizing the payment of all the workers who, day by day, maintain the operation of the club. We permanently face uncomfortable decisions, conflicts that do not have an ideal, but possible response. This time, The priority was to avoid the inhibition that prevented us from reinforcing the team, Because Banfield is obliged to recover competitiveness on the court. It was not an easy decision, Nobody likes to prioritize administrative issues over wages. But only with a banfield strengthened in sports we can sustain the sources of work. And while financial stress exists, today we are reversing that situation with a progressive payment scheme, because there is no possible reconstruction without those who keep the club standing.

We managed to trace the negotiation with the Necaxa, exceeding a completely worn and unbelievable link, and we could establish a new payment agreement whose first quota implied the disbursement of $ 600,000, which generated financial strangulation. Thus we resolved the conflict over the purchase of Milton Giménez, and in this way We avoid the most feared inhibition for the present of the club, that would have been millionaire and almost impossible to reverse in this pass market. The possibility of competing sports depends on managing the institutional with responsibility.

I reiterate, Banfield had been working above its possibilities. That left us with backgrounds issued, future income already spent in advance and various financial obligations without complying, With the television rights committed, a passes market that is just beginning and in which there were still no sales.

This situation blurred the identity of the club. We are building a possible and coherent banfield to have a future: the banfield that we all dream of.

For us, the club is above egos or personal interests, Banfield above all and everyone, always.

We are managing responsibly and generating new sources of income. Rationalizing expenses and expenses and enhancing new resources in order to achieve a balance that allows us to affirm that we are heading to a sustainable club.

To all who speculate, I repeat them: the partner, the fan, asks us for union and generosity. There is no place for disunity or meanness. Each partner and fan should know that there are those who, while the club makes an immense effort to get ahead, Choose specular, sow doubts or put their personal interests. To that logic, we say clearly: there is no more space. This is the moment of unity, not of opportunism.

The exit of this situation is not only leadership: it is collective. No one is saved alone.

Thanks to each fan who encourages adversity, to the squad for their delivery, to the workers for their commitment, and every family that continues to choose Banfield as their home.

To us as a leadership, we have to continue doing what we came to do: work with transparency, honesty, and with the responsibility of always giving the face, as we have done since we assumed.

If each one, from the place he occupies, does his part with conviction, then, we will get ahead. To be that banfield that excites, which represents, which unites. The Banfield that never surrenders.
