Once the first item on the agenda of the Extraordinary Meeting was approved, which opened up the possibility of modifying the council, a parenthesis was opened in which the new members were asked to take the podium. Until there they paraded Gerardo Cabrera, Jose Ramon Fernandez y Peter Cedillo, among the applause of the people. His entry into the governing body was unanimously approved and was the main novelty at a meeting that served to endorse Pachuca’s decisions at the helm of Oviedo, in his first face-to-face with the entity’s shareholders.
“The new councilors are people with whom we have walked for many years and have achieved important things. I would love that in the future there will be more councilors from here, from the city, I’m sure that over time there will be. We are very well sheltered with those from here and those of Pachuca”, explained Martín Peláez at the end of the meeting.
All the points of the day were solved with clarity. The accounts of the previous academic year (with a deficit of 2,033,070 euros) and the proposal for the application of the result obtained the approval without votes against and with two abstentions, representing 43 shares. Regarding budgets, the club foresees a deficit that would rise to 488,813 euros. It was unanimously approved. The corporate management of the financial year had all votes in favor except one vote against, which represented 8 shares.
There was a point on the topic of the day that did raise more controversy: the possibility that the directors charge for their activity in the club, with a maximum of 400,000 euros in total. It was approved with all the votes in favor except 3 against (101 shares) and 7 abstentions (642 shares).
After the intervention of one of the shareholders, Ignacio del Valle, explaining his reasons for voting against, José Ramón Fernández, one of the new ones, took the floor: “We are not going to charge a single penny for the work in Oviedo. It is a It’s an honor to be here and work for you. We get our salary from the Pachuca group.” Given the concise explanation of the Mexican, the fan asked the notary to change the meaning of his decision and eliminate the vote against.
Javier de la Orden, representative of Verae (the company that advises the club on legal and economic matters), qualified that “what is intended is that the contracts for the provision of services by Manolo Paredes and the work of our CEO and president ( Martín Peláez) can be remunerated because they will dedicate all their time and effort. There is no foreseen any remuneration other than these two concepts”.
Finally, the appointment of a new auditor of the accounts, Centium auditores, was announced, with general approval and an abstention representing 8 shares.
After submitting all the points of the day to the vote of those present, there was a lively round of questions and answers.
