Luis Spahn, Unión president slams Racing: «They’re robbing us» | OneFootball

Unión’s president made harsh statements against Racing over the debts the Avellaneda club still owes Unión for Nardoni.

Basically, we’re not asking for compliance just for the sake of it; we’re asking because we are not receiving what we are owed, because clubs should be punished more severely for failing to meet their obligations, and because under these circumstances, this is Argentine football and there is a level of tolerance that is not normal in other activities. In football, money is owed, it is not paid, and you just have to wait. And we are acting, perhaps postponing some creditors because we cannot collect what we are owed, our outstanding balances.

Legal steps are being taken to address this. Unfortunately, the courts are not as fast as they should be, and this makes the situation even worse. We are not asking them to pay us; we are asking them to give us the money that is ours. We own 30% of Nardoni’s economic rights, and these people are operating in a very bad way, and the truth is I am ashamed that someone in the football world like President Milito does not meet his obligations, knowing that he comes from foreign leagues where the foundation of the major leagues is broad compliance with obligations and social responsibility. And here they are taking the easy way out: I’m short of money, so I’ll grab money that belongs to someone else.

Milito is worn out; he already got offended because I repeated what their secretary and vice president told me at the AFA, which was not said lightly at all. People told me they are facing financial difficulties, and just for repeating that, he found an excellent opportunity to act offended, trying to shame me. But I remember my grandmother: shame is stealing and lying. And it seems to me that they are stealing from us.
