Rui Pedroto, son of José María Pedroto and candidate for vice-president of FC Porto in List B, by Andre Villas-Boas, commented on the recent administrative actions of the current management of Pinto da Costa, namely the renewal with Sergio Conceição. “We view with concern all the administrative measures taken in the pre-election period. Imagine what it would be like for the outgoing government if they hastily legislated to prejudice the administration of the incoming government. We view it with great concern. It is morally reprehensible, as far as I know.” “I don't know the details of the renewal, it was announced hastily, in a somewhat clumsy way, and I'm not in a position to comment on this matter,” said Villas-Boas, “The first thing to do if he is elected is to sit down with the coach and determine the immediate future of Conceição ? We do not know that. It is up to the future management to make the decision, knowing that Sergio Conceicao has given a lot to the club. He is a tireless Porto player, and a man of great dedication and competence. It is completely agreed upon. “And tomorrow he will be on the bench to defend our colors towards victory.” .
Member Richness and Trust in List B: “A huge mobilization of the Porto nation, an unmistakable sign of the vitality of this great club and the full awareness of the Porto fans that we are going through one of the most important moments in the history of the Porto club. We have always been confident, because our confidence depends on the strength of our convictions. And it is clear that it is up to the fans.” Porto must be aware of the programme, form an opinion and make the decision in good conscience.
This is truly unprecedented, as electoral events have already taken place. But this will be the most attended ever, as expected. Our campaign has always focused on uplift and dignity, and has been an issues-based programmatic campaign. We are concerned about the future of FC Porto, and we are grateful for the past, but we look forward to the future. I fully believe in victory. Giant steps must be taken to save the club from a situation that requires necessary and urgent change.”
Controversy over the family name: “I don't want to delve into this topic, it is part of the past and has no connection to the interests of FC Porto. We have always designed ideas and presented ourselves to a vote, with the club's interest in mind.” “
What would José María Pedroto feel on this day: “I will be very happy to know that your beloved club has become a great club, an identity brand for the city, the region and the country. It laid the foundations for what Porto is today, and it will be a great pleasure for me to see this tremendous example of the club's vitality and dynamism.”
