And perhaps the most forceful message of the fan’s frustration comes precisely from the organized supporters. As soon as it was made official that Tricolor did not reach an agreement with the striker, Henrique Gomes, known as Baby, the main leader of Independente, took to his social media to speak out.

Baby accused the leak of the negotiation as the main reason for the failed deal with Marcos Leonardo. He called for the resignation of the entire football board of the club, led by Carlos Belmonte.

"Anyone who believed that Arabs were meeting at 3 in the morning must be very naïve in the hands of these sensationalists. And another thing, these board members who just enjoy privileges because of power and disrespect the fans. At no time did they show their faces after the rumors of the deal being leaked.

All jokers who should be fired from their positions.

Baby also attacked the press, which he claims is responsible for feeding false hopes to São Paulo fans.

"SÃO PAULO FANS, you don’t deserve a board and media putting on a show. Here’s the truth: There was no meeting until the last minute. There were no more expectations today, unless something very exceptional happened, which wasn’t even attempted. They started asking for money we don’t have and things got complicated. I don’t know where these people from websites, blogs, YouTube get these things from. I even hope it’s someone from the board deceiving them too, because that would be a lot of dishonesty," he said.

Before the official confirmation that Marcos Leonardo would not come, Baby had already used his social media to vent and attack Belmonte’s department.

"After the leak, the board should have come out publicly explaining that it would be a very difficult signing, so as not to mislead the fans – all the press and blogs with biased information. ASK TO LEAVE," he said.

"The entire football department has to be fired – bunch of incompetents. The end. It ended in a mess. If the information hadn’t leaked, maybe today we would have signed Marcos Leonardo. It’s a shame what these guys are doing to the SPFC institution," he concluded.
