“No budget frenzy”

Ronaldo’s goal, until the end of the year, is to raise expenses to the level of 35 million Brazilian riyals. without making any more expenditures than the heavenly budget allows.

Football is a priority, but we won’t do any budget frenzy. What we want to build is a long-term sustainable club. And to build this, it is impossible not to suffer in the short term. Revenues were too low and expenses too high. It’s the balance between income and expenses, and of course, because you have less football budget, you suffer more.

Sea trip grow in the long term. It has to suffer in the short term to grow in the long term. I can’t tell you this year’s budget, but I can tell you it’s short.

Today the structure of football is the structure that, because of the situation Sea trip Pension, economical, requires a lot of maintenance, and due to the economic situation the maintenance is reduced. It’s normal, but now we have to invest. So we have an investment plan over time, in both Toca I and Toca II to improve these business conditions.
