Desvaux on ADN Gol: “Not here to destroy, but offer another option”

The opposition leader questioned the club’s economic and institutional management, spoke about debts, training grounds, and the relationship with Racing over the Nardoni case. He also called for massive member participation in the next assembly and said that “criticism has to be constructive.”

In the second part of the exclusive interview with ADN Gol, Héctor “Pipo” Desvaux expanded on his criticism of Unión’s leadership and directly targeted the club’s financial management. The former player argued that much of the current deficit “is generated by bad decisions” and listed different cases that, in his view, ended up harming the institution financially.

He also spoke about the training ground project promoted by his political group, criticized the situation surrounding Casasol, and questioned the leadership’s strategy in the conflict with Racing over Juan Nardoni’s rights. Even so, he drew distinctions from older opposition groups and said there is no personal issue against Luis Spahn: “There is no hatred, just a different idea of what the club should be.”

“Many times Unión’s deficit is not genuine, but rather caused by poor management.”
“If the Domina situation had been handled properly, Unión would have two million dollars more.”
“Unión has a bank overdraft of 900 million pesos.”
“Loans are being requested to pay interest on other loans.”
“The property we had secured cost 30% less than Casasol.”
“Casasol is three installments behind and there is a risk of foreclosure.”
“Racing had the money to pay, and Unión decided not to collect it.”
“You can’t be in conflict with the AFA, Conmebol, and Racing all at the same time.”
“I don’t hate Spahn, we just have a different vision for the club.”
“Criticism has to be constructive.”
“Unión is bigger than they want us to believe.”
“There are teams similar to Unión that have grown enormously, so why can’t we?”
“The members have to participate massively in the assembly.”
“You will never find me insulting anyone or being disrespectful to anyone.”
“We criticize, but we also put forward plans.”
“Fifty percent of the members are asking for an alternative.”
“We’re not coming with magic solutions; we’re coming with models that have worked.”
