Hélder Amaral blames one person for Jota Silva snub at Sporting | OneFootball

Leonino Exclusive – Hélder Amaral found the person responsible for the failed transfer of Jota Silva to Sporting

Hélder Amaral pointed the finger at the person responsible for the failure to register Jota Silva at Sporting. In an exclusive interview for our newspaper, the former member of the Conselho Leonino commented on the late attempt to register the Portuguese international forward by the Lions and did not hold back criticism of Frederico Varandas.

“The blame is not individual. In a structure and an institution like ours, the blame always lies with the main person in charge, who is President Frederico Varandas. If he takes the credit when things go well, obviously he cannot hide when things go badly,” he began by saying.

The former CDS-PP deputy speaks of the Lions’ “incompetence”: “Therefore, the person responsible, the face of incompetence and the inability to modernize the Club is the President. Now, responsibility must be shared by the entire structure, because we are talking about a bureaucratic process of daily management. Someone had to be aware and know the how or when of the circumstances in which the negotiations were taking place,” Hélder Amaral added.

Next, the former member of the Conselho Leonino believes that the structure should issue an apology for the failed attempt to register Jota Silva: “There are no explanations. I think the only thing they can do is apologize to the entire fanbase and to the player.”

Hélder Amaral says he does not understand how such a situation can happen at a club the size of Sporting: “In such a competitive area, such a demanding area, we ended up missing the opportunity. I find no excuse for this. Have any of the procedures changed? No. They are well known. Was there any change in the procedures for registering players? In other words, we have always known the conditions for registering players. If nothing has changed, how is this possible?” he asks.
