Club board chairman on the Vilnius Rytas podcast Darius Gudelis, who answered questions from fans. In a conversation that lasted over an hour with the head of the podcast, Jonas Radzevičius, many topics of interest and relevance to fans were touched upon.
The conversation started about why the launch of this podcast took so long.
“Here we have to admit that we really could have done the podcast earlier and explain why our results in the field are so poor. Why our performance against Utena or Riga can be openly named: shameful. Maybe that earlier podcast could have explained it. However, those emotions that had built up could have prevented the club from making the necessary decisions, ”said D. Gudelis in the introduction.
The situation regarding the offers to acquire the capital club was also commented.
“I can really say that there was no conversation with Mr. Žiemelis about the sale of the club,” said one of the main stakeholders of “Rytas” about the offer to buy the club. – During the meeting with “tribune B” in the municipality last week, we were informed that Mr. Žiemelis had met with the mayor of the city and discussed it. I know there was a meeting of municipal leaders after that conversation. We have heard certain attitudes as a city, being a great shareholder of the club is grateful ”.
Speaking of the meeting with “tribune B”, D. Gudelis also referred to the Council of the planned Club.
They are an important part of the club, an active fan community that cares not only about the support of the team, but also sincerely about the future of the club, they are loyal to the colors of “Rytas”. We had an open conversation, we agreed that they would be more active and more frequent, we would have an open discussion and I personally admitted my mistakes that I had made. We agreed that the planned Club Council, which we approved at the Stakeholders Meeting in October and is envisaged in the Bylaws, will consist of ten to fifteen people, including key club members, sponsors, fan community, former Rytas players, academies – both basketball schools. There will be a discussion forum where we will speak openly, ”said D. Gudelis about the vision of the club’s council.
The capital’s main team was also recently joined by two young and potential forwards.
“We hope Rapolas will be training on Thursday. Pacevičius started this season in the youth team and became leader and captain. We see that the club colors are really important to him and he is becoming a member of the Rytas family. Of course, the transition to the male level will not be so easy and simple, but I hope that he will face his role, especially now that we are very scarce in the chain of skyscrapers ”, explained the president of the board of Rytas.
In the end, Gudelis called for the concentration and unity of the entire basketball community in the capital to be now necessary.
“Yes, the situation is difficult and we have to admit that we are in a pit. We do not run away from responsibility and seek solutions. We have to learn lessons and unite and unite the Vilnius basketball community, and we can only achieve it together, ”said the Chairman of the Ryto Board of Directors.
