In view of this Saturday's visit to FC Porto's Casa do FC Porto in Resende, André Villas-Boas was confronted with several dossiers about the current state of Porto. Speaking to journalists, the leader of the Dragons revealed that he had resorted to other investors to pay salaries.

"The news is not entirely true. We found a group of investors different from those who had recently supported SAD in some payments. As a new board, we prefer to choose a different path and suggested this to SAD, which ended up validating the different contracts with these investors. It is a difficult situation, which requires rigorous management. The club's sustainability plan is long-term, as we said in the campaign. We are already working on the financial restructuring of the club. We have had meetings in this regard with future investors and with international banks, as well as regarding the business with Ithaka", stressed André Villas-Boas.

Asked about the process that was raised by André Franco's agent, due to overdue debts, Villas-Boas revealed that he is already in contact with suppliers and player agents to delay payments.

"There are a number of debts that could now have more serious consequences. We are communicating with some suppliers, agents and player representatives so that payment deadlines can be extended for debts previously assumed by FC Porto. Yesterday we contacted André Franco's agents to see if we could change the deadlines for this debt", he stressed.

The FC Porto manager also said that he will redo the protocols with the fan clubs, after revealing that he is also aware of the recent process related to tickets.

"Tickets? It is an open dossier, it comes together with Operation Praetorian. We are analysing the information gathering, my message to the people of FC Porto is to cooperate with the Justice at this stage, we as a board are already doing so and we will do so when we take office at SAD", stressed Villas-Boas.

"They are [fan club] protocols to be redone. In the future, they will be reviewed and new protocols will start a different type of relationship. What I want to understand is the extent to which FC Porto suffered in terms of treasury in this case and the search for responsibilities", he concluded.
