Diego Fernandes fumes over Olten staying at São Paulo: “Forget SAF” | OneFootball

Businessman and potential São Paulo investor Diego Fernandes showed all his discouragement and frustration with the result of the vote that ended this Tuesday (2) at the club, which kept Olten Ayres de Abreu at the head of Tricolor’s Deliberative Council presidency.

By 120 votes to 118, Olten Ayres remains president of São Paulo’s Deliberative Council after the request was rejected in the internal vote.

Later on Tuesday night, Fernandes could not hold back and posted criticism and emotional remarks about the decision on his social media, highlighting his disbelief in change at the club, such as a transformation into a SAF.

“An open letter to Tricolor fans. Today I need to be honest with you.

After the result of this vote, forget everything I said about SAF, investors, and major projects to transform São Paulo. No serious investor puts their money where there is no trust. No serious investor invests millions in an institution that does not convey credibility, legal certainty, and good governance.

São Paulo is huge. It has fans, a brand, history, and the potential to be among the biggest clubs in the world. I look at my son and ask myself what kind of São Paulo we are building for the next generations. But unfortunately, once again, politics has won over the club.

Today was a terrible day for those who dream of a modern, professional São Paulo prepared for the future. I will continue loving São Paulo as I always have. But it would be dishonest of me to say that I leave this night feeling optimistic. São Paulo deserves more.
