"If we set our minds that we are here temporarily, we would shake your hand," says the president of Real Betis

The new president of Real Betis, Manuel Domínguez Platas, was appearing this evening before the media from the press room at the Estadio Benito Villamarín with Fernando Casas, relieving in the position of Vice President Pablo Gómez Falcón, who submitted his resignation at the Extraordinary General Meeting held yesterday at the Hotel Silken Al-Andalus. After his presentation, Manuel Domínguez Platas answered questions.

First day as president of Real Betis: "I come with all the enthusiasm in the world. The only problem with being president is that it overwhelms the responsibility, but the excitement and honor are very great. I am a director since January this year, but it's not true that reached the Club at the time, since I'm one of the first survivors of the first batch of December 2010. I have not been strictly legal counsel, but I've lived all avatars Council from the outset. My work as a secretary was especially focused on the theme of the competition. We live very intensely. Without being counselor, was when he spent more intensity to Betis. So it is not true that take two months but already going for almost 4 years. "

Maintain a continuous line?: "Time will tell if more of the same or not. We do not know yet if I can convey a different impression of what has been so far. What is the same is the scenario in which the current Council moves. Are prosecuted, there was a thick economic problems that have already been exceeded. The scenario constrains their odds of people we have to move in that scenario. Within these limitations, there are circumstances that can make us try to demonstrate that there will be more of the same. The economic problems are the same, but there have been changes that may affect you can give another image than absolute continuity. Five directors are maintained and enter three new. It has changed the figure of the receiver. From here take the opportunity to highlight the overwhelming and overpowering personality was José Antonio Bosch, which I have to give thanks to how much he did for Betis. He had a character that has nothing to do with Francisco Estepa. That may be a determining factor in who is not that more of the same as is appearing in some media. "

How long will be occupying the presidency: " Since judicializó Betis, the two presidents who preceded me had an expiration date, but no one knew what. We know the temporary nature having our step by the entity. I came for three months and I'm coming for four years. The time we are here we will take the decisions that have to be taken as if it were our lifetime. If we set our minds that we are here temporarily, we would shake hands with thick and sometimes unpleasant decisions or economic significance. You have to be psyched that we'll be working every day to death, subject to what they say the judicial authorities. There will be a renewal as already said Francisco Estepa Council will be progressive. In principle, it could be that when you finish this season, according as the circumstances will follow also renewed the Council or even the figure of the president, others come because they do not have the baggage of four years and come with a renewed enthusiasm. "

Period of office when the season ends: "I prefer not to talk about the team down. The team is alive and are convinced that you will get it. The new Board is going to do in any case because it has its wear and understand that it is good to come other people with new dreams and ideas. There are many diabetics who can do infinitely better than us, or at least try. It is Francisco Estepa idea that this would not be complete as it could have been on the board yesterday, but progressive. The renovation will be ordered, depending on the contacts you have Francisco Estepa. We are presenting people from the environment, which we believe can contribute and he is trying to meet people. Depending on the possibilities and the people there willing to step forward, maybe because the Council decides that someone else can better serve Betis. I would be happy to give the baton to someone to come with renewed vigor and to serve the institution, that is what it is. "

When did you know it was going to be president: "Last night at the table knew that outgoing and incoming were, but there was a formality to fulfill. We thought it was not the time to announce the name of the president and vice president. The initial idea was to do it on a board after the Board, but the Board was extended too. It was already decided. The president is elected by the Board of Directors. The Board, before the Board, knowing who was going and had to cover charges, was talking about who could be the new president. He offered me the possibility. I hesitated, scared me the responsibility and burden bearing being president of Real Betis, especially succeeding Rafael Gordillo and Miguel Guillen. I think I can provide good services to Real Betis. I've taken a step further to try to get the situation where are the Betis keeps and does not degrade before what the courts decide. "

Do you think there beticismo division: "There is no instability in the Betis, neither do I believe that division. Opinions are divided into friendship, everyone rowing in the same direction within its discretion. What happened yesterday on the board is not really significant. I do not think there are so many differences between the diabetics as they say. The institution does not wobble or no insecurity. Betis are many people, even the Board is representative of Betis. Yesterday's was the most inopportune of Boards have been, but it means that there are large differences that endanger the institution. "

Continuity of Calderón and the hiring of a new athletic director, analyzed by the president of Real Betis

Manuel Dominguez Platas also addressed the arrival of a new CEO

Also, President of Heliopolitan Club, when asked about questions about planning for next season, as the continuity of Calderón or the appointment of a new manager, gave indications of the relevant steps in the coming months in of the roadmap.

Hiring a new athletic director: "Next season is preparing since the winter closes in any scenario. We unwanted foreseeing that it can not maintain the category eventuality. The technical secretariat is working daily. We from the day since he decided to dispense with Vlada Stosic working on an athletic director. We have very clear the importance and significance of a sporting director as the Club Real Betis. We do not want mistakes. We are looking for a complicated profile because sometimes the prices do not fit our situation. The availability need not fit with the possibility that we need to pretend. Some that seem appropriate are working. Be absolutely certain that we have spent several months working on that topic. Of course there will be new manager, but I can not say the date. We seek a major profile with proven experience. "

Arrival of a new managing director: "It will be safe before the athletic director. They have been doing many interviews. Fernando Criado selection has led to many CEOs. In short, I hope that I can present to the CEO. "

Continuity of Calderón: "If we are looking for an athletic director is because we are aware of what is better or worse in football, but we have our shortcomings. The athletic director who come will decide the future of Calderon. He has a contract that is automatically renewed if we in the First Division. When continuity is vote in the Council, if the category remains, my vote is to keep it. If you go down, you have to talk to him and see their availability. We will have to have the decision of the person then it will be in the position of athletic director. Ask people who are not tied to the club permanent way, but that is our trust. In principle, our coach and if we keep this class, it has a contract and will remain so. "

Influence of the new athletic director at the quarry: "There were some sports directors I have met directly asked about the youth and their desire to get involved and decide or others who did not care much. When it according to the profile you select has to be an athletic director who cares and linked to the quarry. We are, despite accelerations in payment of debt, payment of five years of competition. While we are in this situation, we staggered with television and advertising revenues decline in football, we depend on our quarry. We have to be a team that taps into the quarry and ensure that these players do not sell it. We want to build a team of people born in our facilities. "

Planning for next season by the athletic director: "We would have loved to have him in December. Past the winter, we look more premium profile we understand that the entity requires haste. By having an athletic director and we will not rule out that some of us are more like and that maybe do not have immediate availability. Tell us in the interviews we've had meals and directives with other teams, that the issue of the preparation of the next season is atypical. They will not make trades before the end of the World, where everyone will see what happens. It would not be irreversible. Having a World Cup and be longer vacations, more time to plan. Important decisions at the level of athletic director is going to take, because we have to renew contracts. You will first get the profile you want before the rush. Come when we are convinced that it is the need arrives. He's not waiting to see the category in which we play. The conversations you have with some pending some fringes, but never conditional on the category in which we are. Obviously, yes it is conditioned theme emoluments, but none has the conditioning of the category ".

If the low to Second Division team, continue Calderon: "I do not want to talk about the Betis go down. We will continue fighting to avoid relegation. Calderón has contract if we were in the First Division. If the category is lost, Calderon is not contracted for the Second Division that was not foreseen in the firm. You should talk to him and the athletic director would also have to do something. The Board has the ultimate responsibility and end up making the decision, but would ask the manager, something that we would have brought. Maybe it Calderón who will not be in the second division of Spanish football. "
