"If you maintain your so-called stratagem, your clubs will lose their status of big clubs in the hearts of people.The only thing + the great + about you will be your past, and nothing else."

"Respecting the pyramid of football, respecting our sports institutions and our history, respecting the principle of competition open to all, without exception, respecting the system of ups and downs that is at the heart of our sports culture. The greatest clubs in history Forever ".- (AFP)
