Cori meeting ends with no SAFiel debate, no reform progress | OneFootball

The possibility of Corinthians moving forward in the talks regarding the proposal submitted by the SAFiel project to implement a Sociedade Anônima do Futebol (SAF) model at the club still depends on preliminary steps and was not included on the agenda of the Board of Advisors (Cori) meeting held on Monday night (27).

Last Wednesday (22), SAFiel released an official statement saying that, 50 days after submitting the proposal to Corinthians, it had received a response from club president Osmar Stabile. In the statement, the group said it had been informed that the chairman would seek Cori’s approval to sign the non-binding proposal, indicating that the matter could be discussed at the body’s meeting scheduled for Monday.

“The president confirmed that he will seek approval from CORI (Corinthians’ Board of Advisors) to sign the proposal, and informed us that the next meeting with the body is scheduled for Monday the 27th. Confident that Osmar Stabile will keep his word, SAFiel will wait until Tuesday for his official position on signing the non-binding proposal,” the statement released by the project said.

However, Central do Timão learned from sources connected to SAFiel that there was a communication error in the interpretation of the conversation held with the president. According to accounts obtained by the newsroom, the tone adopted by Stabile was not as categorical as described in the statement released by the group.

In addition, sources linked to Cori confirmed that the agenda for Monday’s meeting had already been set beforehand, with no plans to discuss the proposal submitted by SAFiel.

According to the notice of meeting, the members of the Board of Advisors met to deliberate on matters related to the club’s bylaws reform, including the analysis of an official letter from the Deliberative Council requesting the calling of an extraordinary meeting to address the revision of the bylaws, as well as a request containing a new proposal prepared by the Bylaws Reform Committee.

Also on the agenda were the analysis of absences and justifications by former Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade Souza, a lifetime member of Cori, as well as a request submitted by groups of members and fans asking for documents related to the body’s meetings and deliberations on the bylaws reform. The item “Miscellaneous,” traditionally used for various matters, closed the order of the day.

According to the report’s findings, at Monday’s meeting Cori decided to remove Roberto de Andrade from the body for the current three-year term due to his repeated absences from meetings. As for the bylaws reform, the advisors understood that there are no measures to be taken while the matter remains under review by the Judiciary. It is worth remembering that the General Assembly intended to vote on the proposal was temporarily suspended by the courts in June.

President Osmar Stabile took part only in the final part of the meeting, and the issue involving SAFiel was not discussed among the advisors. Therefore, any eventual review by the Board of Advisors regarding the signing of the non-binding proposal still has no set date. So far, there has only been an indication from the chairman that he intends to bring the matter before the body for debate, with no confirmation of when that may happen.

Thus, the talks involving the initiative remain at a preliminary stage, and SAFiel is still awaiting an official position from the Corinthians presidency regarding the next steps related to the project.
