letter written by Miss Thera refuting their answers to the question Cobo Oscar Iglesias . Please forward as possible. Thanks
Dear Sirs, I write
following statements by the Deputy Mayor Madrid, Manuel Cobo, during the question asked in the full City Council of Madrid for the Municipal Group Socialist president, Oscar Iglesias, regarding the use of the Madrid Arena hall run by the Madrid municipal corporation areas and Congress and Student Basketball Club that the SAD has played five seasons in the league ACB.
Mr. Cobo These statements contain some inaccuracies and omissions, when not needed directly to the truth, I think it is necessary to clarify to understand the situation.
For starters, what people generally includes "students" are really three separate entities. They are the Club Deportivo Estudiantes chaired by Mr. José María Castilian, Student Foundation, whose trustees also chairs Mr. Castilian, and the SAD Student Basketball Club, whose board president Don Juan Francisco García. All are pursuing the same goal and share common goals, but legally separated after Law 10/1990, of 15 October, on Sport.
When Mr. Cobo said that "No contract extended. We understand that the sports corporation has used these years a flag without paying the amounts that would have paid for being a professional" or "has used the flag without paying "is trying to get the ball to the ground. Students signed CB SAD a contract in 2005 with the Municipal areas and Congress which stipulated the conditions of use and amounts paid by the club. The contract had a duration of five years, renewable for another five and has paid what the contract stipulated that in 2008 to open a dispute in the courts.
turn, in 2006 the pavilion is renamed Telefónica Madrid Arena by a contract called the "naming spaces' or 'naming right', which the company's brand is associated with the flag. In that contract specified that as through the students was to publicize the flag during the ACB season, the club took in 33% of revenues sponsor the building. Today, with court ruling in favor of the students, the club because MEYCO € 26,000, while students MEYCO CB owes more than a million euros
When he says that after the fire that destroyed the Palace of Sports, both the Community of Madrid as the Consistory "paid 50 million pesetas per year to the institution", omit why. SAD Estudiantes had a lease with the old Palacio de los Deportes, which burned in 2001. From that date until the completion of construction of the new palace with that money helps pay the difference between the club paid for the public exhibition and I had to pay to use the private bullring.
saying that in 2003 "was awarded two plots in Sanchinarro, where they have not built anything" makes several errors. Students at CB SAD, which is who is requesting access to a public hall to play next season in the ACB, is not given anything, is the Foundation's students who go to public tender and win it. The specification for this tender states that the concession is for 75 years or less, and the Foundation students must pay an annual fee of € 640,000 + VAT.
Regarding this though Mr. Cobo, partner for 40 years of Real Madrid as he has confessed to the obvious Basketball section of Real Madrid Football Club this year has been granted unilaterally without going to tender the operation, I do not use the site, exclusively for the Magic Box by 1.1 million per year. This means that, unless the events already contracted for before the RMCF can get economic benefit from the enclosure built with public money with no other company has been able to qualify.
also insists that "there are two other facilities," Vistalegre private space where students Asefa and played a few seasons, and the Palace of Sports "that the club could use. "Why those are worth?". I guess that Mr. Cobo know the reality of football in this country even though it included in its Olympic program. All ACB clubs except the FC Barcelona has its own pavilion, pavilions competing in public ownership. Some pay the expenses, others do it for free and should enjoy the ability to manage the site. Madrid, curiously candidate city to host the Olympic Games, is the only city in the country amounts charged to their clubs ACB for the use of these facilities. Moreover, in the case of students not even being offered to use a public facility even at an exorbitant price. Also
should ignore the budgets of the clubs despite talk of million-dollar contracts and players. The SAD BC Students for the 2009-2010 season was about 4 million euros. You can hardly understand how to square that figure to 1.5 million euros it costs to rent the premises Vistalegre or more than 2 million it costs to rent the Sports Palace, apart from sports to cherish, too is privately owned.
The rest of the clarifications made by the Municipal Group Socialist president, Oscar Iglesias and have been taken by their environment through the agency Europa Press.
Yours sincerely.
