Part 3/7:

Recent discussions among commentators and analysts point out that while the team may have thrived in competition, the same cannot be said for its financial dealings. As of January, the Corinthians have yet to meet their salary commitments from December, and they face mounting debts amounting to R$78 million, alongside various pressing creditor demands. This particular situation raises questions about the management's ability to operate effectively within the club's financial structure.

The leadership, particularly under President Augusto Melo, is facing increased scrutiny as supporters express frustration over financial mismanagement and the possibility of an impending impeachment. This creates a cloud of uncertainty that looms over the team as they embark upon a new season.
