José Vignatti: "People stop me in the street asking for our return"

Colón didn’t get relegated against Gimnasia. It happened when Godano and Paseegi revoked the power of attorney with which we filed the claim to defend our spot. After that, the phase of smearing us with lies began.

Colón has everything it takes to be a big club, but the different political candidates do everything to make it smaller and smaller.

Everything was agreed upon for Colón to stay in the first division, but Godano and Passegi revoked our authority.

The one who should have apologized for the relegation was Godano, who requested the revocation of our claim.

On the street, many people have insulted me who, at the time, came to hug me after the championship. But today, on the street, everyone asks me to come back.

Jose Alonso is an extremely qualified person to be the president of Colón.

Alonso has moral integrity, but also the financial solvency needed to be president.

What happened to Darras was a total injustice. I consider him a great friend.

Even though I wasn’t respected, I let them govern peacefully for these two years.

They always said that Vignatti left the club bankrupt, but they never pressed charges against me because that’s not true.

The 50 lawsuits they claimed is a scandalous lie.

Our board of directors left $300,000 in a bank account that was meant to pay for Espinola, and that money was used for other things.

Godano never answered my calls, nor did he give me the chance to meet face to face.

Let’s not look for excuses or try to smear those who gave 30 years of their lives to the club.

For the institutional life of the club, having five lists running doesn’t seem healthy to me. Some seek media attention rather than institutional prominence.

Things didn’t happen because Abila returned to preseason a week late.
