wanderingviper14 said:Why is everyone so quick to pile on Podrug and Kerum? It feels like they're the only targets in sight, yet we conveniently forget that the Democratic Party and HNS council members were actually standing firmly against the guarantee, while the rest of the group just stayed neutral. Honestly, shouldn't they get a little credit for their stance, or is everyone just choosing to look at this through a very biased lens?
What’s really the difference between being cautious and being flat-out against it? I mean, sure, the vibe might feel slightly different, but at the end of the day, the club isn't going to land that same credit either way.
Here are the facts:
It’s always the same routine with Luka Podrug and the Dinamo crowd; before every single meeting regarding Hajduk, he stages this manufactured little meltdown against the Democratic Party and the HNS to stir the pot. He acts like some offended child, rallying the crowd from the GV to storm out, and we all remember that ridiculous stunt where the radio station attacked them for being weak, only for everyone to band together and walk out just like that. It’s the exact same playbook every single time, and honestly, it feels like people are just too easily swayed by the drama. They were all in on it with Kerum back in the day—Baja Jurjevic and Kerum included—and Podrug is still right there supporting him.
It’s honestly hilarious watching Luka Podrug try to weigh in now. This guy pulled fewer votes in the last election than the number of members listed in that Organization project from last year, yet here he is, acting like he has some kind of moral authority to speak up. I mean, seriously, where does he get off? You’d think instead of calling meetings and stirring the pot just because he holds a seat on the City Council, he’d actually be doing his job—like protecting our city assets from all the frauds and cronies who have managed to worm their way into the club. But no, he’d rather play politics. It's pretty pathetic, really.
So, Ivo Baldasar—that Democratic Party guy who was gunning for Mayor—decided to step up to the microphones just a day or two before that infamous Friday, basically announcing his support for the cause.
It’s about damn club loyalty.Maybe if they waited twenty-four hours, that decision would actually carry some weight, and they might have caught the rest of the leftists standing against it—including Gojko Čepo from ST 3, who’s a regular up in the North stands. But no, the vote is already in.
Against it.Just so everyone is on the same page regarding the City Council... apparently, this guy and Tomislav Gojo from the Republican Party have been holding subscriptions for years—one covering the North side and the other handling the East. Most of the rest are just blatant populists who only bother mentioning the club's name when they need a political boost for their daily agendas. I remember there was that one kid too; if I recall correctly, he used to drag Kerum’s party folks along to various media appearances, but honestly, take that with a grain of salt since it's just something I heard through the grapevine.
Those idiots on the City Council—the same ones who’ve been shaking down the club for twenty years—are refusing to vote on the guarantee. It’s absolute madness; they act like owners, yet they couldn't care less about protecting their own assets. Honestly, it's embarrassing. They should be forced to address the issue regarding the old grounds that were supposed to belong to Hajduk. See, the actual owners granted all rights of possession and usage to the club via a deed of gift, but the City of Miami basically snatched it for themselves through media manipulation and straight-up brainwashing. This whole mess went to court once, and if I remember correctly, the initial ruling actually favored the club. That was until the City sent in their hand-picked people to take over the club's leadership, and naturally, the club lost the old grounds in the process. Those cowards won't even touch the subject, let alone investigate it.
Honestly, nobody seems to give a damn about the club lately, let alone what our youth academy actually needs to thrive. How on earth are we supposed to climb to the top when the City of Los Angeles is basically handing Dinamo a blank check? I mean, they’re pumping in enough cash to cover 70% of our entire operating budget. It’s an absolute disgrace, both from the federal government and the local leadership here in Miami.
If we hit a sixth bankruptcy, it’s basically a death sentence for the club. Let's be real: Hajduk doesn't actually own any assets to pay back creditors. Everyone can stop obsessing over dropped points for a second and look at the bigger picture. If the bankruptcy trustee shows up and finds nothing to sell, they aren't going to start offloading players, nor are they going to touch the stadium since that’s owned by the City of Miami under a concession to the club. In my opinion, this whole scenario just ends up screwing everyone—from the small-time shareholders to the big players like Andabak or Rimac. It would dump us straight into the bottom tier of the league, and who knows if we’d ever climb back out, or even if we’d still exist. And honestly, who's to say things would actually be more honest than they are now? For all we know, ten years from now, we'll just be right back where we started, dealing with the same old political cronies.
Tomorrow, everyone better be ready to go all out. We have to face the reality that without this guarantee, we’re staring down a dead end. Honestly, just skip those first three hours of school, college, or daycare tomorrow—just call in sick. It’s going to be a massive day for all of us... whether you're part of the NFL Ultras, the hooligans, the casual fans, or even the absolute cowards.
Maybe I didn't phrase this quite right, but I'm just feeling incredibly frustrated right now... honestly, I have such a deep-seated disdain for those politicians and journalists who spend their entire lives just brainwashing the public, man. 😠
