FC Porto fans' group calls for end to official ties with Sporting | OneFootball

The group of FC Porto members ‘For a Greater, United, Unsubmissive, and Eclectic Futebol Clube do Porto’ has requested that the club’s management immediately break off institutional relations with Sporting, after Frederico Varandas called André Villas‑Boas a “liar and coward.” The members express solidarity with the president of the blue and whites and demand an end to any official relationship with their Alvalade rivals. “They reiterate the request made about a year ago – following Mr. Varandas’ behavior and statements regarding the funeral of the Honorary President of Futebol Clube do Porto, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa – that all institutional relations with Sporting Clube de Portugal be immediately severed,” they wrote in a statement.

“Following the statements damaging to the good name and honor of the FC Porto and its President, made by the president of Sporting Clube de Portugal at the end of last Tuesday’s match, the Insubmissive, through their elected members of the Superior Council, Miguel Brás da Cunha and Luís Folhadela, yesterday sent a communication to President André Villas-Boas in which:

1. They express their total solidarity, both personal and institutional, with the President of Futebol Clube do Porto;
