According to a report in The Times, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to be considered for the Manchester United job in the summer, and it could mean that Southampton already need to worry about losing Ralph Hasenhuttl.

What’s the word, then?

Well, the Red Devils sacked Jose Mourinho on Tuesday morning following a dreadful season to date for the club, and while they are set to appoint a caretaker until the end of the campaign to replace the Portuguese, they seem likely to make a long-term appointment next summer.

Pochettino would surely be one of the names near the top of their shortlist given his success with Spurs, where he has helped them become genuine title contenders, brought through and developed young stars and got them playing an exciting brand of football.

The Times report that the 46-year-old believes the opportunity to take over at Old Trafford would be too good to turn down, but it could cost United £34m to prise him away from the north London outfit.

On the chalkboard

If Pochettino does make the move north then Tottenham will be looking for his ideal replacement, and while it is early days for Hasenhuttl in the Premier League he could well be a contender if things go well over the course of the rest of the season.

The Austrian has already lifted the spirits of the St Mary’s faithful and his players despite only replacing Mark Hughes earlier this month – as shown with the 3-2 win at home against Arsenal on Sunday which was their first league success on their own patch since April.

The 51-year-old is astute tactically and has a big personality – similar to that of Jurgen Klopp which was on display as he ran on the pitch to hug his players following the full-time whistle at the weekend – and he could be an ideal fit at Tottenham as a result.

Spurs already nabbed Pochettino from Saints back in 2014, and they certainly wouldn’t be afraid to do the same again if Hasenhuttl proves to be the real deal.

Check out the video below for Emma Conybeare’s rundown of which clubs need what in the January transfer window…

The Jurgen Klopp-effect is in full swing at Anfield. The German has brought a new style of management to Merseyside, and it’s working wonders. With his calming, family-style techniques, he’s turned the Liverpool squad into a community, and that’s clearly evident on the field. 

On the surface, at least, he’s done away with the hairdryer treatment and replaced it with more of an arm around the shoulder method, and judging by Liverpool’s form this season – they’re top of the league – it’s clearly working a treat.

That style, then, should be considered when making transfer plans at Liverpool. Certain players react to certain styles, and one player that could flourish under Klopp is Mario Gotze. This is a view that has been reinforced by Kevin Grosskreutz, an ex-teammate of Gotze. 

Gotze, of course, previously played under Klopp at Borussia Dortmund, and he enjoyed some tremendous form under the German. Indeed, he spoke about the manager back in June (on a documentary via the Liverpool Echo) and revealed his desire to work with him again, before noting that his management style suits him, unlike Pep Guardiola’s.

Granted, Gotze – who is rated at £16.2 million by Transfer Markt – hasn’t enjoyed the best run of form, but if Klopp can get him playing again, the results could be huge. Let’s not forget, he’s still the same player that won Germany a World Cup, and he still possesses the same technical skill, energy and quality on the ball that he always has.

It’s clear, though, that he hasn’t settled back at Borussia Dortmund, much like he didn’t at Bayern Munich. It’s evident, then, just how important management is to him – and Klopp has already proven that he has the Midas touch. In the past, Gotze has had brilliant record in the Bundesliga – like 10 goals and 9 assists back in the 2012/13 season.

At just 26-years-old, he’ still young enough to turn things around – and under Klopp, he’d have the best chance of doing just that.

Liverpool fans – thoughts?

Let us know below!

Manchester City recently announced the signing of long-term target Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City and, with the Algerian winger secured, the Premier League champions are now likely to only add a midfielder to their squad before calling it a day in this transfer window.

However, one name that will not be arriving at Manchester City is Napoli’s Jorginho. The Brazilian-born Italy international has long been linked with a move to the Etihad, but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, as reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, has stated Jorginho is close to joining Chelsea, with Maurizio Sarri set to succeed Antonio Conte as Blues boss.

The Breakdown

Jorginho was Guardiola’s primary target to reinforce the midfield and provide competition for Fernandinho; failing to sign the 26-year-old will come as a huge blow having already missed out on Fred to rivals Manchester United.

Manchester City have since be rumoured to be interested in Real Madrid’s Mateo Kovacic (via Daily Mirror) who, although is not exactly like-for-like, would still be a very good alternative to Jorginho.

If for whatever reason director of football Txiki Begiristain cannot bring Kovacic to the Etihad though, then the club should consider buying Steven N’Zonzi from Sevilla.

£27m-rated (via Transfermarkt) N’Zonzi may not be the most thrilling name out there for Manchester City supporters, but the Frenchman is capable of carrying out the duties of a defensive midfielder in a Guardiola team.

On top of his height and power, N’Zonzi has the ability to recycle possession effectively and start attacks – at £35m (N’Zonzi’s release clause via the Independent), Guardiola would be getting the same profile of midfielder as Jorginho for significantly less.

With Manchester City no longer interested in getting into bidding wars, players such as N’Zonzi can be very effective plan Bs.

A series of injury problems has resulted in Siem de Jong making just 26 appearances for Newcastle United following a move from Ajax in the summer of 2014.

The 28-year-old arrived at Newcastle with a big reputation, but he has scored just twice for the Magpies, and spent last season on loan in the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven.

A total of 23 appearances during the 2016-17 campaign suggests that De Jong is moving in the right direction when it comes to overcoming his injury problems, and the Dutchman will be given the chance to make his mark for Newcastle during their pre-season preparations.

De Jong took to Twitter earlier this week to reveal his plans for the coming weeks as he bids to convince Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez of his worth ahead of the Premier League campaign.

The reaction from the Newcastle fans was extremely positive, with a large number responding with messages of support for a player that was highly-rated during his time at Ajax.

Inspired by Iain Macintosh’s journey with Everton on CM01/02, I’ve decided to boot up Football Manager 2017 and take Aston Villa back to the glory days of the 1980s.

Previous episodes: Episode One, Episode Two, Episode Three, Episode Four, Episode Five, Episode Six, Episode Seven

It’s a new year, and I’ve taken it upon myself to craft a new me. In the real world, anyway.

In this parallel world, in which I’m the manager of Aston Villa, it’s still December 2016 and life continues to play with my emotions. We enter the final month of the year on a four match unbeaten run in the Championship, but history tells me a run of good form doesn’t mean anything with this bunch of players, a disappointing result is normally just around the corner.

Things seem to be looking up, though – we’re just two points off the play-off spots and my players finally seem to be getting used to our style of play. I thought we’d reached an understanding a couple of months back, but the Reading and Fulham results were sickening. Back to back defeats to end a run of six unbeaten. With the benefit of hindsight, I really don’t have a clue whether they’re getting used to my tactics or if they just choose when to turn up and when not to bother.

The January transfer window opens soon and I plan to bring in some reinforcements. Some players may have to leave in order for me to balance the books, so they’re technically playing for their Villa Park futures now. Not that they seem to care, mind.

On the subject of transfers, Tony Xia gets in touch with some good news. He’s given me a transfer budget of £16m, which I intend to spend wisely – this is Aston Villa, of course.

Another beacon of wise financial dealings, Leeds United are up next in the league. This should be another victory in the bag for us. They’re 20th and have lost five consecutive games in all competitions. Their last league win came midway through October, so we should win.

On paper this team should make fun of Leeds, but for some reason I’m not entirely convinced. I do, however, keep faith in Jordan Ayew, despite the fact he’s not scored for three games. Ross McCormack, though, is on fire right now. I sense he’s desperate to hurt his former club with goals.

At last! A convincing victory at Elland Road finally moves us into the top six. McCormack’s brace set us on our way to another three points and Jack Grealish sealed it all off to ensure we go into the busy festive period as one of the Championship’s form clubs.

McCormack now has six goals and three assists from his last five appearances, which is pretty incredible. It took him a while to decide he wanted to play, but he’s clearly enjoying himself now. I’ll put that down to my incredible man management skills, obviously.

We have 21st placed Wigan up next, who have won just one of their last eight games in all competitions. Another straight forward victory should be on the cards, but first, it’s the draw for the FA Cup third round…

Tasty! Remember how we beat them last time? Of course you do, it was emphatic. I’m a hero because of it. I’m determined to ensure we don’t leave it as late next time.

I’m forced into making three changes for the visit of Wigan. Jordan Amavi and James Chester are both suspended after picking up five yellow cards, while Ross McCormack will be benched because he’s recovering from man flu and doesn’t look too great – I’ll only bring him on if I have to. Elphick, Osman and De Laet come in to replace them.

Somehow we won that, but I won’t complain. It wasn’t the best of performances – Wigan had more chances than us and will be disappointed to have not taken anything from the game. It’s a victory that takes us up to fourth, five points off the automatic promotion spots. Finally it feels as though we’re achieving something.

A trip to Carrow Road is up next and I’ve been able to revert back to what is probably my strongest XI, barring Westwood who is suspended for five yellows now, Leandro Bacuna replaces him.

I knew that would be tough but I didn’t expect us to be outplayed. Norwich deserved the three points and I’m now definitely considering making several signings in January. That’s the disappointing defeat following a good run of form I’m starting to become accustomed to. The amount of yellow cards we’re picking up is beginning to worry me as well. That’s 14 bookings from our last three matches. Vicious bunch, my players.

We’re down to seventh again but it’s still very close up there. Just six points separates 4th and 11th, so there’s still so much to play for. We really need to start pulling away from those around us though, otherwise we’ll be in trouble. How I spend my £16m transfer kitty in January will no doubt decide the second half of our season, so I’ve told my scouts to start looking for worthy additions.

Our next two games are huge: QPR away next, they’re 3rd, and then Burton Albion, just a point and a place below us in the table. Failure to pick up points will leave us with a mountain to climb for automatic promotion, which would be a disaster. I may not even have the chance to spend that £16m if we don’t win these games!

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s men are the bookies’ favourites, but I’m still quietly confident of getting a result. I’m at a stage where I know what my players are capable of, it’s just getting them to do it consistently that seems to be the issue. Hopefully I’ve got them on a good day…

I can accept a point, especially after trailing for most of the game. Jordan Ayew’s goal was wonderful and Jack Grealish should’ve won it for us at the death but he missed from just a couple of yards out.

The trouble is, we’re now 7th and two points adrift of the play-offs. We were fourth just a couple of games ago, which shows just how ruthless this league can be. But it also shows how quickly we can get back on track. We must be beat Burton then, no excuses.

That makes me feel a lot better. Two second half goals secured all three points, including a rare one from James Chester. It wasn’t the best of performances but that’s what makes great teams, right? Winning despite not playing well?

With just one game left in December (another meeting with Leeds) I’m beginning to make some early moves in the transfer market. Aly Cissokho has asked to leave and so I’ve accepted a £925k bid for him from Burnley. But most importantly, Derby accept my £11.5m bid for Tom Ince. Some would say that’s expensive, but they’re willing to sell and I could do with more depth in midfield. £25k-a-week has been offered to him and I’m confident he’ll be a Villan by January 1.

Before that, though, December has to end the same way it started: with victory over Leeds United.

Do that and we’ll go into the New Year in the play-off spots and with a positive goal difference. It’ll set us up nicely for our trip to 18th placed Cardiff on January 2. I’m naming an unchanged XI and tell the lads I expect them to win. No pressure.

Victory. Comfortable, sweet victory. The Villa fans head to the City centre for their New Years Eve celebrations with huge smiles on their faces. Their beloved Villa are back to winning ways and well in the race for promotion.

2017 is a huge year for the club. It must be in the Premier League come August, and it’s down to me to ensure they’re there.

Here’s how we end 2016…

Bring on 2017. And Tom Ince. He’s joining…

As the dust settles on what must surely (on paper at least) be considered one of England’s best ever qualifying campaigns, commentators and pundits are now racing to answer some tricky questions; what did we learn from the games? Are England now in reasonable shape for the tournament? How far can they go? Can they even win it?!Unfortunately it’s a case of ‘almost certainly not’ as far as that last one is concerned, but there are a few issues thatÂrequire slightly more than a simple rebuttal.Here’s my humble take on what Roy & co. may have taken from the last 9 games…The team has not been properly tested yet – Aside from some self-inflicted pressure in Slovenia when the defence capitulated alarmingly easily twice and stood aside like a yawning whale for the home side to waltz through and score, actual pressure during games has been rare.In fact, the friendlies have given us much more tension and pressure, with a cauldron-like atmosphere in Glasgow last year testing the players mettle before going to Italy in the spring and facing a growing and confident Azurri. In this respect, the friendlies against Spain and France later this month, and Germany early next year, will tell us a lot more about how the players can handle big games. Especially the defence, which takes me neatly onto point two…..[ffc-gal cat=”premier-league” no=”5″]This defence does not inspire tremendous confidence – after the glory-years of Terry, Ferdinand, Neville and Cole, this England defence is still a real work in progress. Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka did not look altogether convincing at the World Cup and it is hard to see how they can have improved given the one-sided nature of the qualifying games. Practice, and plenty of it, against the worlds best teams is vital ahead of the summer.But the strike force does – any team that can have Daniel Sturridge consistently out of the side and still not look too short of strikers is clearly a force to be reckoned with. With Rooney, Kane, Welbeck and Sturridge all strikers to be feared in the Premier League, and back up including Danny Ings, Jamie Vardy and possibly Charlie Austin, Hodgson can feel confident in how his side looks going forward.The wingers don’t look too shabby either – depending how the team lines up in France next year, the wingers could either be part of a midfield four or three up front. Whatever the formation, they deserve respect from the opposition. Townsend, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott and Sterling all have the capability to frighten the life out of defences with their pace, and they can all finish if given the opportunity as well.But Roy must sort out the centre of midfield before it’s too late – Henderson, Lallana, Barkley, Carrick, Delph, Wilshere…… Who is England’s first choice centre midfield pairing?! None of the players mentioned above have let the side down, but then the opposition they’ve been playing against have made most games a stroll in the park.Depending on whether Roy feels like sitting in and countering or going on the offensive, he can set up a different side, which must be looked at as a positive. However, a little continuity might be nice.Barkley must play a key role – worthy of an article in itself, this debate might just decide how far England go next year. If Hodgson can conquer his natural conservatism and trust the talented playmaker from the start, he could reward them in spectacular style. His early-season performances for Everton show his startling ability and promise. Now is the time for him to realise that potential.Hodgson manages best when he lets exciting young talent loose – having previously mentioned that England must not rely on their defence for too much in the tournament, Hodgson must realise that the best form of defence is attack, and let his forwards take it to the opposition.We have to appreciate exciting qualifiers when they come around – due to the ranking system, games during qualifying do tend to be dull, cagey affairs against a side of limited ability. That’s why the games against Scotland before the 2018 World Cup will be so enjoyable – the passion of that rivalry remains undimmed by time.There are too many teams in these qualifiers – qualifying for a major tournament should never be a boring chore, but that’s exactly what this campaign turned into. FIFA and UEFA must look long and hard about whether the minnows who now sup at the same table as the worlds finest deserve their automatic place there.Despite that, it’s going to be a great tournament! After such a long build up (around 13 months by the time the playoffs are decided), it’ll be nice to see the groups, start to plot potential routes to the final and get down to the serious business of acquiring wall charts and England car flags like there’s no tomorrow.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has defended his training methods after midfielder Mason Mount became the latest player to pick up an injury.

Mount latest United player to pick up knockTen Hag points blame at scheduleReds travel to Everton with long injury listGetty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?

Mount looks set to miss at least three weeks after suffering a calf knock in training this week. The summer arrival became the latest in a long line of injuries at United ahead of a key run of games. But while questions over Ten Hag's training methods have began to surface, the man himself puts the blame squarely on the fixture calendar.

AdvertisementGetty ImagesWHAT TEN HAG SAID

"Last year we played the most games across Europe. Last year was a weird year with a World Cup in the middle of the season," Ten Hag explained to reporters ahead of Sunday's trip to Everton. But each year they keep adding games to the schedule. Next year they add two more games and we've already achieved the limits and gone across those limits that players can handle.

"In the first 12 Premier League games the physical standards are even higher in comparison to last year. You have choices to make. Either you match it by training and preparation or you drop off. That is a decision that every club has to make, every team has to make and an individual has to make. You have to do it smart. Every team knows you have to suffer and sacrifice."

GETTYTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Whatever the cause, United's deepening injury crisis could barely come at a worse time, as they try to retrieve a troubled Champions League campaign before facing up to the Premier League's relentless December fixture list. As well as Mount, Ten Hag will have to make do without Rasmus Hojlund, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo and Tyrell Malacia against Everton on Sunday. Some rare good news comes in the return of Luke Shaw after three months on the sidelines.

WHAT NEXT FOR UNITED?

If injuries weren't enough to contend with, the Reds also find themselves in the unenviable position of being Everton's first opponents since the Premier League sanctioned the Toffees with a 10-point deduction. With a slew of protests planned, the atmosphere at Goodison Park promises to be electric when United visit this afternoon.

Patrick Vieira was furious as Conor Gallagher stole all three points at Crystal Palace after Thiago Silva had earlier escaped a red card

The Graham Potter era at Chelsea is belatedly up and running. But only just, and in seriously controversial circumstances.

After an underwhelming 1-1 draw with RB Leizpig in his first match as the Blues' new boss, Potter looked set for further frustration at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

However, Conor Gallagher came off the bench to steal a 2-1 victory for the visitors, who had been second best throughout.

Indeed, they were lucky to have reached the interval only a goal down, with Palace having dominated after opening the scoring just seven minutes in through Odsonne Edouard.

Fortune smiled on Chelsea again shortly before the break when the officials ruled that a deliberate handball by Thiago Silva – who had fallen to the ground after losing possession to Jordan Ayew – had not denied the striker a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Palace, then, were left feeling like they'd been the victims of a daylight robbery when the final whistle blew, while Potter was just relieved to have picked up his first Premier League win as the Blues' new boss…

GettyThe Winners

Graham Potter:

It may not have been pretty, and it certainly wasn't deserved, but Potter won't care, for now at least. The match review will make for painful viewing, of course, but the main thing is that Chelsea picked up all three points. And Potter played his part, with two of his substitutes combining for the winner, with Christian Pulisic paving the way for Gallagher's fantastic curler from outside the area.

Conor Gallagher:

Having spent last season on loan at Selhurst Park, the midfielder tried his best not to celebrate in front of the fans who treated him so well. But his joy was obvious, and that was wholly understandable. Gallagher has struggled for game time this season but this goal could prove a real turning point for him, even if the competition for places as Chelsea remains intense.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang:

Thomas Tuchel's dismissal was hardly a positive development for the striker. Aubameyang, remember, had only just been signed by the German, under whom he played the best football of his career, at Borussia Dortmund. So, while he may not have been heavily involved in Saturday's game, his fantastic finish served as a timely reminder of his quality, to both Potter and everyone else in the Premier League.

AdvertisementThe Losers

Wesley Fofana:

It's fair to say that the defender has had a rough few weeks since joining from Leicester. Off the field, he got himself embroiled in an unnecessary war of words with his former employers. On it, he's looked horribly off the pace. After being embarrassed in the Champions League loss to Dinamo Zagreb, Fofana was involved in an absolute horror show for Palace's opener. He initially lost possession in his own third with a sloppy pass and then failed dismally to get back to defend his area, completely losing sight of Edouard, who volleyed home the opener. Right now, Fofana looks anything like a £70 million ($80m) centre-back.

Patrick Vieira:

The Frenchman was furious that referee Chris Kavanagh only booked Thiago Silva for deliberately handling the ball while Ayew was trying to get away from the Brazilian centre-back. Vieira's mood only darkened after VAR then upheld the match official's decision and promptly earned a yellow card of his own for his protestations. His sense of injustice was understandable, though. It is true that the foul occurred on the left-hand side of the pitch but there was no covering defender and it's difficult to believe that Ayew wouldn't have been left with a one-on-one with Kepa had Thiago not flicked the ball away from him.

GettyChelsea Ratings: Defence

Kepa (6/10):

Nothing he could have done about the goal and acquitted himself reasonably well in the absence of the injured Edouard Mendy. In truth, though, wasn't actually tested that much.

Reece James (6/10):

It was the right-back's long ball forward which Thiago Silva knocked down for Aubameyang's equaliser. Didn't quite offer his usual attacking threat, though.

Wesley Fofana (5/10):

Lost possession in the lead-up to the opener and then, to make matters worse, got caught badly out of position. Still struggling to justify that lofty fee.

Thiago Silva (8/10):

Lucky to stay on the field after getting caught in possession and giving away a free with a deliberate handball. But Chelsea's best player thereafter, even popping up with an assist for Aubameyang's equaliser.

Ben Chilwell (6/10):

Didn't offer much going forward because he was kept so busy by Palace's tricky attackers.

GettyMidfield

Mateo Kovacic (5/10):

Worked hard throughout but passes lacked their usual precision and he failed to really impose himself on the game. His afternoon was best summed up by the late booking he received for clipping a Palace player after losing the ball himself.

Jorginho (4/10):

Rattled by the pressure Palace applied in midfield. Looked nothing like his usual calm self and his passing was poor as a result. Unsurprisingly replaced after just 55 minutes.

Após o turbilhão da última década, o esporte brasileiro está prestes a ser
abalado em sua estrutura social/societária, fiscal e na gestão dos clubes de
futebol.Historicamente, os clubes surgiam da vontade em se criar um time de futebol,por exemplo.Nesta união de pessoas ninguém visava lucro, era a cultura do ideal “olímpico”.A intenção era a prática desportiva, lúdica, que evoluía para disputa decompetições organizadas.

Mais de 90% dos clubes inscritos nas federações do País são associações,
pessoas jurídicas de direito privado sem fins econômicos ou lucrativos. Explico.
Um “clube-associação” pode obter grandes receitas. Mas o resultado positivo
(lucro/superávit) deverá ser reinvestido no próprio clube, sem distribuição aos
sócios, pois as associações não tem um “dono”. E, por não visarem lucro, as
associações gozam de benefícios fiscais, que resulta em despesa inferior a das
empresas. Esta a grande diferença: a destinação do resultado financeiro.
Porém, o futebol passou a movimentar vultosas quantias, nas competições,
com ingressos e transmissão, além do mercado de atletas, exploração das
marcas etc.

O futebol virou um grande negócio.E esta mudança “engoliu” a estrutura e a natureza de vários clubes.No mundo todo, os clubes se organizaram profissionalmente para atração de investidores, adequando-se à realidade do fluxo de capitais e governança.

É possível um clube-associação com gestão eficiente e empresarial. Há
exemplos. Porém não é o que se vê na prática. A “falta de um dono” e não
distribuição de lucros prejudicam esta tendência.Sempre noticiam a inadimplência de impostos, atrasos de salários,antecipações de receitas irresponsáveis e criação de dívidas que colocam oclube num círculo vicioso.
Nestes casos, a forma empresarial geraria a responsabilização pessoal dos
sócios/dirigentes. E, mais importante, a forma empresarial é ideal para atração
de investidores e novas receitas.

CASOS NO BRASIL

Desde a Lei 9.615/98 (Lei Pelé) pretende-se a transformação dos clubes em
empresas para transparência na gestão, responsabilidade e atração de
investidores.

1 Pan-Americano Rio 2007; Jogos Mundiais Militares Rio 2011; Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014; JogosOlímpicos e Paralímpicos Rio 2016; Copa América 2019.

Existem alguns “clubes-empresa” no Brasil, que pela burocracia, costumam
formar uma empresa em que a associação é sócia.

A associação investe com símbolo, nome, marca, vagas em campeonatos e os
contratos dos atletas.

A cessão destas propriedades exige autorização expressa da Assembleia
Geral 2 , conforme art. 27, §2º, da Lei Pelé.

A A. D. São Caetano foi sócia da São Caetano Futebol Ltda, campeã paulista,
bi vice brasileira e vice da Libertadores. A Ferroviária de Araraquara, tradicional
equipe do interior paulista, é uma das sócias da FFSA (Ferroviária Futebol
S/A), que disputa a Série A1 do Paulistão. Recentemente, o Botafogo de
Ribeirão Preto, fundou a Botafogo Futebol S/A, como sócio.

O sucesso destas empresas atesta sua viabilidade, sem prejuízo à cultura do
clube ou aos resultados esportivos.

Agora, propostas legislativas tramitam no Congresso para a criação de regime
fiscal especial que atenue o custo da empresa esportiva. Chegou a hora dos
clubes brasileiros se planejarem e adequarem sua gestão para acompanharem
as exigências de transparência e eficiência a atrair investidores para melhor
financiar a atividade.
