ADVISORS AND OPPONENTS OF RODOLFO LANDIM WRITE LETTER DETONATING SAF PROPOSAL IN FLAMENGO
The leader of Mais Querido continues trying to promote the idea of SAF behind the scenes at the club

The Flamengo is in an election year for a new president and behind the scenes are buzzing. Rodolfo Landim continues to insist on the idea of implementing the Sociedade Anônima do Futebol (SAF) and this has displeased some advisors, who even wrote a letter with a series of arguments against the SAF and blasting the agent's attitude.
Walter Monteiro, Carlos de Oliveira Ferrão and Gilberto de Oliveira Barros are the authors of the letter. Therefore, the trio calls Rodolfo Landim's argument that projects the club with the same management power after the sale of future shares a "fallacy."
In addition, the advisors also compare administrative structures. This is because the letter cites examples of current governance with a possible SAF. Thus, the trio also reiterates that Mais Querido will never have an owner: “O Flamengois not from Leblon, Flamengo is from Brazil. Flamengo is not for a few, Flamengo is for millions”, says an excerpt from the text.
Even though we have desires and plans about SAF in Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim is still unable to implement the idea behind the scenes. This is because most of the partners and advisors remain against the president's idea.
CHECK OUT THE LETTER WRITTEN BY LANDIM'S OPPONENTS:
"FLAMENGO DOESN'T HAVE AN OWNER AND NEVER WILL! INSTEAD OF SAF, MORE ASSOCIATES.
From time to time the Rubro-Negra Nation is threatened by insinuations that its current president wants to transfer Flamengo football to a Football Limited Society.
Using a fallacious argument — namely, that in this future SAF the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo would be its controlling shareholder and with that “nothing would change” — and at the same time waving supposed advantages linked to the construction of a own stadium, Landim takes up the subject again, hoping to overthrow those who still oppose the transfer of his dreams.
With all its setbacks and obvious needs for improvement, especially with regard to overcoming amateurism, For almost 130 years, the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo has had its destiny in the hands of those who join it. For more than 40 years, its directors have been chosen by direct vote every 3 years and any owner partner can join its Deliberative Council, a body to which the statute delegates several crucial decisions.
In a SAF, decisions would be passed to the sphere of a Council made up of a few people (generally 5 or 7 members). The political power of Flamengo members would be limited to choosing these followers, who would constitute a governance completely separate from the club.
Flamengo is powerful and envied because it is plural, democratic, welcoming. Anyone who wants a SAF dreams of a monolithic, concentrated, elite Flamengo, open only to those who only know how to say amen to the patriarch.
We all dream of our own stadium and for that we can – or rather, we should – look for partners , investors, shareholders of a company with this specific objective, but in no way will we renounce the sovereignty of building our future collectively, which is the reason for the success of our victorious journey since 1895.
In 2024 the associates of Flamengo will be faced with the most important choice in its century-old history: on the one hand, there are those who surreptitiously act to take Flamengo for themselves and decide our destiny behind closed doors; on the other, there are those who resist the kidnapping of our soul and who suggest the opposite path: the more associates, the better. Flamengo is not from Leblon, Flamengo is from Brazil. Flamengo is not for a few, Flamengo is for millions."

Sesc Flamengo continues to restructure, with new players arriving and leaving. As such, Mais Querido has signed Simone Lee, a 28-year-old American who played last season for Megabox Vallefoglia-ITA.
WHO IS SIMONE LEE?
Simone Lee 's signing has been rumored for some time. The athlete is 1.88m tall and also has a German volleyball background, enjoying the peak of her career last season. She was voted the best attacker in the 2023/24 Turkish Championship.
Throughout her career, Simone has won two German Championships, one Italian Championship, one German Cup and one Nations League for the United States. She was discovered by Pennsylvania State University and went to Europe in the 2017/18 season.
SIMONE'S HUSBAND CAN STRENGTHEN THE FLABASQUETE
According to information from the "Garrafão Rubro-Negro" portal, Simone's husband, German winger Lukas Wank , may join Flabasquete. Lukas will come to accompany his wife, but will need to find a new club after leaving Germany.
Last season, Lukas played for the Wurzburg Baskets, playing in 13 games and averaging 2.3 points, 0.6 assists and 1.3 rebounds. Previously, he played for Oldenburg, Skyliners Frankfurt, Lowen Braunschweig, Niners Chemnitz, RheinStars Köln and Science City Jena.

Bap reveals Flamengo's financial situation left by Landim's management - check it out
The president of Mais Querido opened up about the moment the club was in after the departure of the former management at the beginning of the year

Luiz Eduardo Baptista took over as president of Flamengo in January, after winning the red-black elections at the end of 2024. Thus, the leader of Mais Querido gave a quick interview to the press present in the United States and exposed the financial reality that the club found after the end of Rodolfo Landim's management.
Flamengo had money for two days, so Flamengo had a good economic situation, but a bad financial situation", highlighted Bap.
He continued: "If Flamengo were a company earning R$1.5 billion per year, it would have to have around R$300, R$400 million in cash. That's how you run a company. No one runs a large company with less than 3, 4 months of cash in hand. Like that guy who has furniture, furnishings, but no money in the bank. He had no liquidity," revealed Bap.
INCREASE IN DEBT IN 2024
It is worth remembering that Flamengo released the annual report with the audited financial statements for the 2024 fiscal year. The balance sheet even showed record revenue of R$1.3 billion, but also indicated a 581% increase in net operating debt, which went from R$48 million to R$327 million, and a deficit of R$734 thousand.
SOLUTIONS TO SAVE MONEY
Finding itself in a delicate financial situation, Flamengo 's focus at the beginning of the year was to increase its cash flow. Thus, with the non-renewal of David Luiz and Gabigol's contracts, the Rubro-Negro made room in the monthly payroll. In addition, the Rubro-Negro agreed to sell Fabrício Bruno to Cruzeiro for R$44 million.
FOCUS ON SEASON SEQUENCE
So, while Bap continues trying to recover Flamengo financially, the red-black squad focuses on the next commitment in the Club World Cup. Rubro-Negro returns to the field this Tuesday (24), at 10 pm (Brasília time), for the match against Los Angeles FC.
