See what was said in Gaviões' chat with the Corinthians president | OneFootball

The political chaos behind the scenes at Corinthians has prompted a new mobilization by Gaviões da Fiel, the main organized fan group of the club. Members of the group were present at Parque São Jorge, the club's social headquarters, and met with President Osmar Stabile.

Members of Gaviões da Fiel were at Parque São Jorge last Saturday and delivered a letter to the main political groups of Corinthians. The uniformed members spoke with councilors and called for unity during this delicate moment the club is experiencing, especially off the field.

Subsequently, the organized group met with Osmar Stabile, who also received the letter signed by Gaviões and five other Corinthians fan groups: Camisa 12, Pavilhão 9, Estopim da Fiel, Coringão Chopp, and Fiel Macabra.

According to an investigation by Gazeta Esportiva, the main topic of the brief conversation was the need for unity among all sectors, whether political or not, to get the club out of the current situation. Gaviões called for harmony among leaders of the situation, opposition, fans, and everyone who wants to help Corinthians in some way.

What the organized groups demand

In the letter delivered to Stabile and other Corinthians councilors, the main organized group of Timão demanded that the club schedule an official meeting with “everyone who has already presented governance projects.” The group set the response deadline for 00:00 (Brasília time) this Friday (21).

The report found that Gaviões' intention with the proposed meeting is to gather all interested parties in a room to discuss solutions for the difficulties faced by Corinthians, regardless of the path taken.

Recently, Corinthians' debt reached R$ 2.7 billion. In the first half of this year, Timão spent more than budgeted and recorded a deficit of R$ 60 million. The club initially planned R$ 329.315 million in net expenses for the year, but reached R$ 424.872 million.

Additionally, political backstage has been heated since the beginning of the year with the VaideBet case and the subsequent removal of Augusto Melo. Meanwhile, Augusto himself, along with former presidents Andrés Sanchez and Duilio Monteiro Alves, are being investigated, both internally and by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office (MP-SP) for alleged improper personal expenses while leading the club.

A possible solution, however, has gained momentum at Corinthians recently. Four businessmen launched SAFiel, which proposes transforming Corinthians into a SAF, with professional management, run by the fans. The project has already been presented to Gaviões, who called on its members to learn more about the model in a meeting next Wednesday.

SAFiel faces rejection behind the scenes

The transformation of Corinthians into a SAF is seen by some, especially among fans, as one of the main short-term solutions for the club. SAFiel is currently the only project for transformation into a football corporation on the table of the Deliberative Council and the presidency of Timão.

The project has already been presented and delivered to President Osmar Stabile and the President of the Deliberative Council, Romeu Tuma Junior. However, SAFiel faces significant rejection behind the scenes at Parque São Jorge, especially among CD members.

As reported, the tendency is that the proposal will not even be discussed behind the scenes at Corinthians at this moment. The board is waiting for the questions raised by compliance to be answered before starting to discuss the proposal. On November 10, the department identified some ‘red flags’ (term in English to signal “warning signs”) in the project and pointed out the need for clarification on some points.

The compliance statement led some Corinthians councilors to backtrack on the SAFiel project. Another project simultaneously underway behind the scenes is the statute reform, which has also generated internal conflicts. Romeu Tuma Jr. is under internal pressure to ensure that the project presented last week is not put to a Council vote at this time. However, he insists and intends to bring the text for discussion in the plenary anyway.
