Libra clubs plot to oust Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo's stance outraged other group clubs

The clubs of Libra, the group which Flamengo is a part of, are organizing to exclude the biggest team in the country. Due to the attitude of Flamengo's president, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, in the negotiations, the idea is to isolate the Rubro-Negro. Leaders of the other clubs are in the phase of studying the statute to know if the measure is possible.

“Libra released an official note rebutting each item and clarifying points of this action by Flamengo. The clubs are now waiting for the measures already adopted by Libra in court. Internally, there is an intention to exclude Flamengo from Libra, due to this very serious attitude of wanting to change the rules during the game. The initiative to exclude is not from Santos. There is an internal movement of studies by the Statute,” said the president of Santos, Marcelo Teixeira, to Uol.

WHAT DID FLAMENGO DO TO LIBRA?

Angered by the lack of agreement with the other Libra clubs, Flamengo went to court to block Globo's transfer to the teams. As a result, R$ 77 million did not reach the coffers of the clubs after the Mengão obtained an injunction.

The drastic measure taken by Flamengo occurs due to the lack of dialogue from the other clubs, according to the Rubro-Negro. The Most Beloved understands that it will lose approximately R$ 100 million if the idea, as it stands, advances.

Flamengo and Volta Redonda did not accept the proposed terms and, for the agreement, unanimity is necessary. After Mengo's victory in court, other teams issued official notes criticizing the decision. In addition, Flamengo's board also responded.

Libra is an entity created to sell TV rights of some Brasileirão clubs. It is formed by Palmeiras, Bragantino, São Paulo, Santos, Atlético-MG, Bahia, Grêmio, Vitória, Remo, Paysandu, Volta Redonda, ABC, Guarani, Sampaio Corrêa, Brusque and Flamengo itself.
