Ramirez: “I don’t want demonstrations, I want decisions, the decision has been made”

After a difficult last week in Alcoyano, where the club issued an official statement announcing its intention to voluntarily move to the Third Federation, this Monday the blue and white organization called the press to a press conference of its largest shareholder, which began at 12:00:15 :00 at El Collao Stadium. Juan Carlos Ramirez had to explain his intentions after the club convened an extraordinary assembly that will take place on June 16 next year, where the main issue of the day is the change of legal address to the city of La Nucia, and therefore the transfer of the historical site to this other population.

All of this is interpreted as Ramirez’s desire to move the current Alcoyano to La Nucia, change its name and compete in the First Federation in that other location, while La Nucia Football Club may take the path in a different direction, reaching Alcoy to compete. in their place the Third Federation. In recent days, Alcoy’s mayor has sharply criticized Ramirez’s decision, and Alcoyano issued a statement saying the largest shareholder would sue the mayor. We will bring you video of Ramirez’s full press conference in the next few hours. Ramirez and President Tony Justicia attended the press conference next to him.

“If you want, I will go to the demonstration tomorrow and hold on to the shield, but who gives the money?”

STATEMENTS OF JUAN CARLOS RAMIREZ:

“I don’t come here on my own initiative, businessmen from the area are looking for me and explaining the situation to me, and I have the feeling that they want to get their money back and leave. As soon as I arrive here, I meet with the mayor and make a series of commitments in which I tell him that I need his support, that I cannot do this alone, and to provide a solution of 700 or 800 thousand euros per year per year. as my decision. financial contribution to the development of Alcoyano in professional football, the mayor has not fulfilled anything in these agreements, all the papers are wet… I am risking my assets and the assets of Alcoyano, the mayor is not risking anything here.

“I did everything I said, I cleaned up Alcoyano, this is the healthiest club of the First Federation… Anyone else in my place would have given up. The only thing I can be blamed for is that in the first year we were unable to move forward. The situation in Alcoyano: the paper they taught me was sold to me and what happened does not even cover 50%… The President is here and it is hard for him when this decision belongs to me from the owner with 97% of the actions… If there is so much movement and the city council wants to lead a demonstration against me, why didn’t this first lead to finding businessmen to solve the Alcoyano problem? Because they thought he was dead, the only decision I made here when I arrived was to remove the CEO for reasons I’m not going to give here, but I know the reasons, like other things I don’t want to name. because I don’t want war… I don’t care. “I consider myself to be from Alcoyano, but I am a businessman who came here to give everything for Alcoyano.”

“If they told me that I would be here alone pulling a car, would I come here? No”

“I don’t feel like a mayor anymore because he hasn’t achieved anything, why the photo? He knows how to move very well, there are many people who depend on his subsidies, I come from other cities, Alcoy is the same as it was 20 years ago…”

“The sponsors that have been there for years and years when I arrived are disappearing, I am left without a sponsor… I am left alone, putting things in order in the club, saving it from disappearing and what do I do now? What did it cost me to cover up the old advertising that they didn’t pay for? Sponsors are disappearing, shareholders are leaving… 1300 subscribers in the First Federation… this club has the smallest number of subscribers in the First Federation… we went to San Fernando and the president told us that the city council was going to invest two million plus support from by the provincial council and the government. This is a project, I saw there a field like our El Collao, but more decent, I can be 60 years old and I will be healthy, but I can be 60 years old and I will have dirty hair, poorly dressed… this is an image, that we are creating outside, the field that we are asking for solutions… I am not to blame for what Alcoy did, I fixed the bad grass, the children were injured because of how bad their grass was, and they continue to look the other way. ..”

How does Alcoyano raise more money if he doesn’t have support from businesses or the city council? I suggest to the mayor that they put mupi (poster spots) around the city and they tell me that they are going to talk to the municipal people about it and they see it and tell me that it is not possible because the opportunity is being given. Regarding institutional advertising, I tell him to give us a piece for Alcoyano and keep quiet in response, hence the mayor’s statements the other day, which are a bit of a lie, but I will not allow the mayor to lie on social issues, he says that I tell him about adding social partners, and he says that I tell him to remove this from the social assistance branch, he is outright lying, I tell him that we are giving 1000 social subscriptions, the city council gives it to those people who need it and that the city council is looking for businessmen who will invest money from these subscriptions… So this money is for Alcoyano who needs it and we need opportunities in this area… it is a lie trying to cause harm by saying that I asked for money to take it from the neediest, does anyone believe that I am going to put a lot of money And I tell him to take money from people in need?… Tony (to the mayor) this is not a lawsuit, this is a complaint that will happen to you.

“I will do what the law allows me, and if this cannot be in the First Federation, it will be in the Third Federation, I do not have the heart of Alcoyano, you put your heart in, and I will put in your head.”

“What should we do at this point… politicians are fighting their own war, they live off of it, and I don’t live off of Alcoyano. What should we do with Alcoyano? I pick up Alcoyano from the funeral home, let him circulate, but if I stop, I’ll leave him at the funeral home in three months… the club needs income. To the businessman who is criticized, who is left in the dark, who is driven away by businessmen… I will do what the law allows me to do, and if he cannot be in the First Federation, he will be in the Third Federation. I don’t have the heart Alcoyano, you give the heart and I give the head. I want solutions, not demonstrations, I make a decision, if a consistent proposal is not made, my decision is made.

Theme of La Nucia. I don’t know if you know that I started in La Nucia, I have lived there for many years, I have many interests in La Nucia, Benidorm… many friends who could pick up the phone and help me. In La Nucia, I saved it from extinction to save grassroots football with 38 well-formed teams, because they have the best conditions in Europe. I saved grassroots football and wondered what I should do. I cannot merge La Nucia with Alcoyano, one of them is a sports club and the other is SA. My idea is a project for La Nucia to have a strong youth or preferential team and a strong team in the First Federation, I have this showcase.

“I drive my Alcoyano to La Nucia because there are facilities there, because I have a group of my businessmen, look here for those people to whom I invest 800 thousand euros a year, from there I am open to everything, tell me what they support and “I’m not leaving here.”

I drive my Alcoyano to La Nucia because there are the necessary conditions, because I have a group of my businessmen, my friends who are going to help me, what I don’t have here is what I give to the city council . find me those people to whom I invest 800 thousand euros a year, from now on I am open to everything, tell me what you support and I will not leave here. Do you think this solution is easy for me?

I open my hand, but the club needs premises, support… this means that businessman Alcoy, through the city council, supports this project. I suggest we meet the mayor face to face and find out who is lying. CF La Nucia is a sports company, it does not have an owner, there are managers, I included my family among the managers, it is not mine, but I manage it. La Nucia Football Club has premises there, so I can allow my team, as the largest shareholder, to take it with me to training or games, paying them a fee or something like that along with my badge and T-shirt.

If it was considered, would you sell? (they asked him) Of course, but with money.

“No, neither the name, nor its shield, nor its history will be changed. I can’t pull down the historical club’s blinds, but if they don’t get wet and don’t help, I’ll take Alcoyano anywhere. We never stated that the club was disappearing.”

Will Alcoyano play in La Nucia without changing his name? (To the question from GOLSMEDIA? No, neither the name, nor the coat of arms, nor the history will be changed. I can’t pull down the historical club’s blinds, but if they don’t intervene or help, I’ll take Alcoyano anywhere. We never stated that the club was disappearing. (And he claims that if he turns out to support Alcoyano, he will stay here). “You talk to me about feelings, and this is a company, I don’t need to tell them (fans) anything, let them go to the mayor’s office, the owner was deceived when they came here, CD Alcoyano has no future.”
