🚨 Exclusive: Marcelo Portugal Gouvêa, candidate for the presidency of São Paulo on behalf of the Opposition, declares that he voted in favor of the contract with Ticketmaster, which was approved by the Council. "After weeks of analysis and discussion, I voted for the approval of the contract with Ticketmaster. I believe that the process of selecting the new ticket company had flaws in its handling. Nevertheless, given the club's financial situation, I understand that approving the contract is the most prudent decision to protect São Paulo and reduce risks, especially in football. Rejecting it now would bring more uncertainty to a club that needs stability. I also voted for the two reservations: the reduction of the termination penalty and the exclusion of the Supporter Member program from the contract. We cannot move forward without being clear that this inclusion does not conflict with the current contract of the program, which could lead to legal disputes and significant financial losses. São Paulo must respect the contracts it signs. Finally, we guided the counselors of the Salve o Tricolor Paulista group to vote in a technical manner, not politically, allowing each one to decide according to their own convictions. This is how we believe the club should be conducted." #SãoPaulo #Futebol #GestãoTransparency (translated)
