Menacing communications directed at Sevilla's president discovered on multiple bridges within the city.
By the Numbers, Sevilla's Struggles Fuel Fan Uprising
In a heated turn of events, rabid fans have taken it upon themselves to send Harsh Warning Signs to Sevilla's president, José María del Nido Carrasco, hanging Grave Threats from bridges spanning key roadways across the city.
One such example can be found on the SE-30 ring road, where an ominous banner depicting a doll hanging from the bridge railing bore the chilling prophecy, 'Junior, your days are numbered,' targeting José María del Nido Benavente's eldest son.
Swiftly, authorities took notice and removed this ominous banner and others spotted on the A-49 road between Sevilla and Huelva, which carried menacing messages towards club directors and majority shareholders.
Fan Frustration Persists, Despite Victory
Recent events have ignited widespread discontent, with fan fervor reaching boiling points and frequent protests, even following Tuesday's hard-fought 1-0 win over Las Palmas. Protests continued as fan mobs persisted in calling for the ousting of del Nido Carrasco and his board following the match.
The Complex Sports, Financial, and Institutional Quagmire faced by the club has led to acts of vandalism, resulting in the National Police stepping in last Saturday upon the team's arrival at their training facility. The return from Vigo after their 3-2 loss to Celta saw a group of ultras attempting to breach the facility, causing the team to spend the night under police protection out of safety concerns.
