Part 4/9:
The debate drives home the necessity for tangible cuts within the football department. Many clubs in Brazil operate successfully on budgets considerably less than R$ 350 million. The insinuation here is not merely about reducing numbers but rather about effectively reassessing spending approaches and striving for sustainable operations.
As clubs across Brazil invest heavily, São Paulo is caught in a competitive trap. Operational expenses have inflated significantly, and without stringent fiscal discipline, there is a risk of falling further behind competitors. Calls for financial responsibility are echoed, with the argument that limiting budget execution is less about capability and more about willingness to make necessary sacrifices.
