The Vice President of Black and White, Harold Mayne-Nicholls, had not raised his voice in recent weeks, which have seen how Colo Colo remains bottom of the table of positions of the National Championship and great candidate for relegation.
However, the journalist took a step forward to explain the situation that the white box is experiencing, starting with the controversial bonus that will be offered to players in the event that the team remains in the First Division.
“To maintain the category you have to win and we will give a bonus to the players for that, it has always been done in history. The truth is that if we ever have to play in another division, it brings us serious financial problems,” he said. the former FIFA on DirecTV.
But the phrase that brought out the most rash among the fans was when the leader asked to put in context the risk of relegation of the Cacique. “The world does not end if you have to descend. There will be no problems at La Moneda. The country has more important problems, “he said.
According to Mayne-Nicholls, Macul does not work with a script other than permanence. “We do not have a contingency plan if we descend. We do not think that, we are sure that it will not happen, that we will remain in the First Division,” he added.
Colo Colo is in last place in the standings with 22 points, four less than the penultimate in the standings, Coquimbo Unido. It should be noted that the bottom team will lose the category and the team that precedes it will play a final for permanence.

Harold and Valdivia: “I am not a friend of the players”
Regarding the situation, Mayne-Nicholls referred especially to the return of Jorge Valdivia to Colo Colo, after he launched acid criticism against the leader and the management in general of Blanco y Negro.
According to Harold, “I have no problem with the criticism he made, especially for his return to the club. I am not a friend of the players. I have spoken with him. We say hello. I have no problems. We want him to help us in our present.”
Therefore, he confirmed that there were no approaches. “We do not ask Jorge Valdivia to withdraw the judgment that he maintains before the club, it is his right before something he thinks. The important thing for us is that he can contribute to the club, that is why we brought him,” said the manager.
Regarding the resignation of Marcelo Espina from technical management, Harold acknowledged his surprise. “I did not expect Marcelo’s departure, I had even spoken with him that same day, it was something very unexpected. The times were not adequate,” he said.

Harold referred to the VAR, harshly criticized in 2020: “As long as it remains like the black box of airplanes, where only some can access, nothing will change. Everyone must see what is happening in the review, you have to copy what is done in sports like tennis. “
In any case, he clarified that they want to avoid conflict. “We spoke with (Gustavo) Quinteros about the statements he made. I have never agreed with that type of statement. Incredible things have happened, the president of Audax, I don’t know where he gets those things from, Aued and Cano It is not the way, “he completed.
