Bruno Sá slams Sporting's season: complete amateurism | OneFootball

Bruno Sorreluz, better known as Bruno Sá, the candidate defeated by Frederico Varandas in the latest presidential elections at Sporting — and who has now taken note of a new 'criticism' from Villas-Boas — has spoken out publicly to point the finger at a season in which the Lions ended up empty-handed in football.

"The season is over. Zero titles in football and a defeat at Jamor. At Sporting, attitude is non-negotiable. But it is urgent to look beyond wins and losses, and instead at the model and the direction. The Club is divided", reads a post he shared on Instagram.

"First- and second-class members, an increasingly corporate path, and that can be felt at the matches, in football and in the pavilion. They sell us pretty phrases and dreams with sofas that have very little to do with football. And the essence is being lost," he wrote.

"We lost out on the three-peat through complete amateurism across three transfer windows and injuries that were never explained. We sold Alisson, who could make the difference coming off the bench. How badly he was missed. In the Champions League we had our best season ever, but with ambition and a good winter transfer window we could have gone further," he continued.

Listing other points he believes deserve highlighting: "In the women’s team, zero titles. In the academy, zero titles and zero investment in the academy, at a time when all clubs are investing in the heart of their clubs. The departures of Tiago Santos, Essugo, Afonso Moreira, Travassos and Mateus Fernandes for low fees. What message are we sending the kids?"

"Rui Borges has been renewed, so there are no excuses. There is no Champions League qualifier, there is no Super Cup. Don’t be late again. It is urgent to review ticketing. It is urgent to give Sporting back its club culture. It is urgent to put ego aside for the common good. It is out of love, not fashion. Altruism, not arrogance", he concluded.
