José Alonso: Temporelli’s conscience will punish him, he messed up | OneFootball

José Alonso, president of Colón, provided details about the club’s critical financial situation in an interview with Darío Pignata for the ADN program on Radio Gol 96.7. In the conversation, Alonso and his team described a scenario of institutional “abandonment” and million-dollar debts that exceed one and a half million dollars in checks.

The main objective of the new board is to “liquidate that liability” in order to achieve fundamental economic and financial stability. They have had to deal with the lack of income from anticipated television rights and are relying on members and marketing to move forward. Alonso emphasized that the club cannot go into debt again, as that “corrupts the system”. Despite the challenges, they managed to settle salary debts and lift the FIFA ban related to the Espínola case.

José Alonso described the club’s financial situation as critical and mentioned that the project is based on institutional and financial stabilization to achieve sustainable growth. He stated: “I believe that the club needs all Colón fans, whether they voted or not, to have the same feeling that the institution, to level it, and that side is growth. There is no other alternative, there is no other alternative and for that we need to have fundamental financial and economic stability in the club.”

Alonso and his team found an institution with financial “rubble”, and a member of his team defined it as follows: “we found a club in a state of abandonment”. The president detailed the situation by saying: “Today Colón has scarce resources and many expenses that the previous board generated, and on top of that, many financial commitments that were not created and many unpaid services and many things that appear every day.”

The short-term goal is to liquidate the liabilities, with the idea of “liquidating that liability, basically trying to fulfill all the people to whom these checks were issued and trying to pay for services as they should be”. He detailed some key debts, such as the most important debt “after this, I would say, apart from the check issuance that exceeds one and a half million, one million six hundred thousand dollars”. He also mentioned the lack of income from television rights, since “they asked for advance loans” and now they are only receiving “10,000 million pesos per month.” Alonso confirmed that they are depending on income from members and marketing, indicating that they will have to work hard on marketing. He also mentioned the debt for player Garcés, where 60% was bought from River de Montevideo and, although everything is paid, there is a small amount left to settle which they will resolve soon.

The board has worked quickly to resolve these urgent economic issues. Alonso mentioned that they took office on December 3 and two days later paid “almost a million dollars in debt”. He emphasized that the club cannot go into debt, as that “corrupts the system” and does not allow it to function. These efforts have made it possible to settle salary debts and lift the FIFA ban related to the Espínola case.
