“The fact that we were not vocal in these approximately three years of patronage does not mean that we were “blind”

All the heads of departments have been sent to Genoa, but the supporters do not accept an association between the two teams. The ultras also had a message for Dan Țucu: “Rapidul does not live on recycled promises and empty speeches!”, but they did not forget Daniel Sandu, the director of the scouting department, and Daniel Craciug, the commercial director, older clients of the ultras.

The statement from Peluza Nord Rapid: “We strongly condemn the attempt to associate the colors and history of our club with any other entity”

“As a result of what was announced today by the “leadership” of the Rapid Bucharest club,

We, Peluza Nord Rapid Bucharest, strongly condemn the attempt to associate the colors and history of our club with any other entity that does not represent us.

With all due respect to Genoa fans, we do not accept to be part of the prostitution of the image of the Rapid orchestrated by the management in these new timesof modern football as they are called by the distinguished men and women in management.

We remain loyal to the white and cherry, we support the club unconditionally, both in victories and through the hardest moments. We reject behind-the-scenes games contrary to the rapidist bible. We do not sell our faith, we do not compromise tradition, and we will not allow the Rapid name to be used in combinations that dishonor us.

We are tired of being used as decoration. We are tired of Rapid supporters being the image fuel of people who, until they associated their club name, were completely anonymous to the football phenomenon and non-existent to the spirit of Rapid. Rapid is not a launch pad, it is not a loan brand, and it is certainly not a facade for personal ambitions.

We do not accept that our history be rewritten by people parallel to the Rapid. A history built over 100 years, in the rain, in the cold, in bankruptcy, in the lower leagues, with the stands full even when the accounts were empty. The history of the Rapid is not edited in offices or embellished in press conferences.

We convey to Mr. Dan Șucu clearly: the fact that we were not vocal in these approximately three years of patronage does not mean that we were “blind” . We are acutely aware of the ritually lit smoke at the beginning of each season, meant to keep hope alive and delay real answers. Fast does not live on recycled promises and empty speeches!

We cannot explain how in the management of the club there are still characters like Daniel Sandu, under whose «management» the club was damaged with millions of euros through meaningless transfers, without performance and without future. At Rapid, incompetence cannot be attributed to “collateral losses”.

And no, I didn't forget Daniel Carciug either, the one who, with outrageous lightness, called us “customers” and talked about being “squeezed to the max” when we come to the stadium. The courier is not a customer. The speedster is the reason the club still exists.

Anyone who doesn't understand this has nothing to do with the Rapid or its history. Rapid is not negotiated, exploited or used. The rapid is respected!”, was the release of Peluza Nord Rapid.

An exchange of experience triggered the reaction of rapidist supporters

Two hours ago, the people from Rapid published in the press release in which they announced to the supporters the fact that a delegation made up of the heads of all departments from the Giulești team went to Genoa for an exchange of experience.

The post was accompanied by two pictures of the people involved in which two t-shirts were presented: a playing uniform of those from Genoa, on the back of which FC Rapid 1923 was written, and a t-shirt of the Giulești team, on which Genoa 1893 was written.

“A Rapid delegation was present for a few days in Genoa, for an exchange of experience within the club with which we share not only the same patronage, but also a common vision of football, tradition and community.

The visit was more than just an exchange of T-shirts: each Rapid department head worked directly alongside his counterparts from Genoa, in an open dialogue about processes, ideas and best practices. It is a first step in a collaboration that will continue, with the next scheduled meeting in Bucharest, when the delegation of the Italian club will come to Giulești.

Two clubs with a strong past, connected by the present and oriented towards the future”, was the press release of the Rapid club.
