Last Sunday night (18), Botafogo beat Flamengo 4-1. The red-black president, Rodolfo Landim, attributed the result to the high investments made by SAF Alvinegra in an internal messaging group with advisors and that would not be inside. “fair play”.
“Welcome to the era of SAF without financial fair play,” Landim said in a message.
Textor, on the other hand, responded by denying Landim and defended Botafogo, stating that salaries represent 45% of the club’s income, in response to Diogo Dantas’ blog from the newspaper “O Globo”.
-He’s a lovely guy, but he’s wrong… Our salaries now represent 45% of our revenue… I’m sure he would be surprised by our revenue, but last year we exceeded 100 million dollars… Much more than most people in the world. Brazil would think… and we published these numbers on our website – he replied cheerfully.
The partner claims that Alvinegro falls within the rules of financial fair play in European football.
– Financial fair play suggests that the salary should be less than 75% of the income… So we will fully respect the European rules – he said.
