The president of the Royal SocietyJokin Aperribay, made a notable appearance at the last Meeting held at the Kursaalwhere it received overwhelming support from 98% of shareholders. His attitude, although serious, reflected satisfaction with the financial results, although he was not so willing to address certain critical issues related to the team's performance. Below, we break down the most relevant points of his intervention.

Massive Support and a Quiet Board

During the Meeting, Aperribay began his speech by thanking all the participants, highlighting that the session had been “calm” and that he was “happy” with the support received. This support not only highlights the confidence of shareholders, but also the importance of stability in times of uncertainty in the sports field.

“We are happy with the economic results of these years. We must continue managing. The more stability there is, the better.”

Sports Performance: A Sensitive Topic

Despite the good financial results, Aperribay was evasive about the team's performance this season, particularly in relation to the coach. Sergio. When asked about the team's performance, the president declined to comment, emphasizing that the football is a complex dynamic in which we must maintain confidence in the professionals who go out into the field.

“It seems disrespectful to me to talk about the professionals who go out on the field. The demand and evolution are short, medium and long term. We have to get back to the streak we were on as soon as possible.”

The Transfer Market: An Internal Strategy

Regarding the possible movement in the winter market, Aperribay did not show interest in addressing this issue for now. His position is clear: the key is to develop the players already on the roster. He mentioned that there is a lot of talent to exploit and the solution to current problems lies in internal evolution rather than in the search for new signings.

Marrero: He must improve his performance before leaving the club.
sucic: An injury has kept him out, but he has the potential to be key.
Team unity: Everyone must train better to earn a place.

“The solution is within, more demands and trust in the players. We cannot think of stopping trust for three bad months.”

Expectations for the Future

Speaking about the expectations of the season, Aperribay was clear in saying that there is no better team throughout the week if the results do not prove it. His self-criticism reflects a commitment to the continuous improvement of the club. He stressed that the players must perform better and that the club has a lot of potential, instead of focusing on signings.

“I don't think we are the best from Monday to Friday. If we were, the results would be better.”

Club Economy: Sustainability and New Sponsors

Aperribay also reflected on the club's financial situation and the search for sponsors. Despite past difficulties, he was optimistic about the club's ability to attract new sponsor members, and made it clear that the situation must be improved to secure Real Sociedad's financial future.

“It seems that we have more problems than we have had. Maybe it is because we are out of the betting, which is the majority in the jerseys.”

Decisions About Zubieta and Sanse

Regarding the future of the facilities in Zubieta and the Sanse team, Aperribay announced that they are waiting for approval from LaLiga to advance those plans. The president emphasized the importance of good resource management and that it is not necessary to make excessive investments without clear planning.

“We have not made a field for a professional team. We have to measure management.”

A Message of Hope and Resilience

Aperribay's intervention concluded with a strong message of hope and resilience, encouraging everyone to focus on the next challenge. The insistence on improving and the importance of maintaining a competitive environment will be vital for the following months. With such overwhelming support, Real Sociedad has the tools to move forward, but the hard work is just beginning.

In summary, the Shareholders' Meeting has been a milestone in the recent history of the club, evidencing the confidence of the shareholders in the current management and the commitment of Aperribay to bring the Royal Society towards times of prosperity.
