“We are becoming embarrassing, that is, fools! I want 100 million” » He refused MM Stoica's plan

The financier of the title champion declared that he is a friend of the current head of the LPF since his youth and will vote for him regardless of whether he loses a few tens or hundreds of thousands of euros from the television rights.

Gigi Becali revealed that he supports Gino Iorgulescu for a new mandate at the head of the LPF: “He's my friend”

“So, I spoke with Gino today as well. I was the first one to be against it. But I said this: I'm not interested in the league or the federation, I'm interested in the league or the federation not having anomalies in the statute.

We, being members, become embarrassing, that is, stupid. If we vote for some crazy people, it means that we make a laughing stock in front of journalists and people who read.

I said: “Hey Gino, I proposed you, I voted for you. More mandates, yes, if you are capable and the world votes for you, I have nothing against it. To have 5 years of experience and not be allowed to run for office, this is an anomaly that concerns our dignity. I'm old, you want me to tarnish my dignity?That's why I called you, let's get this out. If you take that out, I'll send a man over there who votes. Well, if you are capable, why should we limit your mandate?».

This is not about the leadership of the country. This is about the management of an institution, which does not bother me. It can neither harm me nor good. I don't need either their good or their bad”, Gigi Becali declared, on the show “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport.

Gigi Becali: “Meme told me that he wants to do a convention with Angelescu”

“With the TV rights they explained to me, that's why I was against it. In 5 years, and then I think it will start with the big money in TV. In two or three years there is a clause: if there are higher sums offered for television rights, then unilaterally we can cancel the contract. This is how I see it: in 5 years we can take 100 million, not 30 million.

If we negotiate with certain media institutions, then these platforms will come, technology advances. I say, for example, that in 10 years it will be 100 million over a period of 3 years, that is, three times the amount.

As for the league, yes (no I vote for Gino). Gino is my friend from my youth, if I can do him a favor, I do him a favor. Who is better? I say this: if I can help a friend and it doesn't bother me, I don't need the league. Where to bring more money? The contract is signed, if you want more money, in 5 years we, the owners, can form a coalition to bring more money.

I say what I think: let's say Gino is my friend. Let's say that I lose 50,000 or 100,000 euros a year. My friend and I can't, for 50,000 or 100,000 a year, not vote for him, because no one even guarantees me that someone will give it to me.

I have never appealed to the league in my life and I don't appeal either… If he brings me a million a year, yes, then I say to him “Hey Gino, I earn an extra million a year”, then it's something else. But to do that he needs to bring in another 15-16 million, depending on the notoriety of the team.

Meme told me. “Well Gigi, look, I agreed with Angeles to do some things to vote and we still need one more vote. Aren't you talking to those from Metaloglobus, to Imad? Let's take the money according to the rating».

Now I said: “Mihai, I don't agree with that, because I don't agree that those poor people should die of hunger because I'm more cunning and bring ratings. I'm not sitting on an extra million; she lives with him. That guy dies if he doesn't have the million. I am not the capitalist type of man».

I told Meme: «Mihai, I don't want to receive more money after the rating». I don't agree either and I don't tell Imat to vote either,” concluded Gigi Becali.

Context:

• On November 13, in Brașov, at the Aurelius Emperor of the Romans hotel, a General Assembly of the League will take place. Gino Iorgulescu will propose amending the Statute, so that he can also run in 2027, when his current mandate expires.

• At the moment, the regulation says that a president can only have two mandates of 5 years at the head of the LPF. Iorgulescu was elected in 2013 and, in theory, would have been in his third term now. He reasoned that the change to a maximum of two mandates occurred in 2014, while he was in office, so he could run twice later, in 2017 and 2022.

• In addition, Iorgulescu wants to add to the statute that a person can run for the presidency of the LPF only if in the last 5 years he has been in the leadership of the same club or structure of the FRF/LPF type.
