Massis camp contradict president on Roger at São Paulo: “Just Casares” | OneFootball

A letter sent by president Harry Massis to a select few journalists this Thursday (23) was poorly received within São Paulo and sparked an immediate reaction from the opposition group to the club president.

This Friday (24), the Salve o Tricolor Paulista group, made up of opposition council members, voiced its opposition to Massis and strongly criticized the Tricolor president.

The content of the letter states primarily that president Harry Massis Júnior met with a group of council members and settled the issue of Rui Costa and Roger Machado’s staying on, initially securing internal peace among his peers so the duo could continue working at Morumbi.

São Paulo’s opposition questioned the “broad support” mentioned by Massis internally at the club.

“The Salve o Tricolor Paulista Group expresses its firm opposition to the Massis administration and rejects the claim, circulated in the media, of supposed support from 180 Council members — a number that does not reflect the Council’s plural and diverse reality,” the statement says.

“President Massis still keeps in their positions, in an unacceptable manner, executive directors and direct advisors who are fully identified with the Julio Casares administration. The recent mistakes in the football department are a direct reflection of the current administration’s inability to promote structural changes.”

“It is evident, therefore, that the current administration is merely a continuation of the previous one, reproducing practices of centralization, low transparency, and political deals harmful to SPFC. Harry Massis reaffirms, with every decision, his condition as Julio Casares’s vice president — nothing more than that,” says an excerpt from the group’s document.
