So yeah, we may not post sentimental videos or graphically insane pictures on our social medias screaming ‘GRACIAS ADIOS’ but we do appreciate our legends. Ask yourselves what YOUR CLUBS has done for your legends after they were gone!

Yeah I bet that cheery, teary goodbye was oh so sweet.. but we don’t forget about our legends. They stay close to club. If not with a managerial job or a seat at the board, they get an honorary position like Ginto, Di Stefano and Mijatovic.

You’re all so quick to judge the club because we sell club legends without giving them a massive celebration and you don’t even check that most of them ask to leave quietly and some of them do get the celebration they deserve like Salgado for example but you don’t bother to check

In any case, we do more for our legends than any other club does. We keep them close. We don’t forget about them. Which is 10000x better than a billion celebrations.
