He also touched on the departure of \u017deljko Obradovi\u0107 and everything that has happened at the club over the past several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor the past couple of months I\u2019ve been enduring criticism from our stands. What have I done to deserve it? Because I took over the club with 15 million in debt and brought it to a point where it owes nothing? Or because when I took over the club in 2017 there wasn\u2019t a single trophy, and during my mandate there have been seven? Nine years ago the budget was 500,000 euros, now it\u2019s 20 million euros. And I find myself having to endure criticism,\u201d Mijailovi\u0107 began on a show on \u201cPrva Television.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He shifted responsibility for the results and the style of play to the coaching staff and head coach \u017deljko Obradovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause we were 18th in the EuroLeague standings? Some players were brought in who ate up 30 percent of the budget and didn\u2019t make the team better. Enough of lies, time will show everything. I am responsible for the money, everyone at the club has received their salaries. It\u2019s a great injustice. You have to close your eyes and imagine what it\u2019s like in someone else\u2019s shoes\u2014repaying other people\u2019s debts, not taking a single dinar from the club, bringing millions of euros into the club, and then ending up in a situation where some people take millions, are more respected and valued than those who saved the club.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"WdXBissyt1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/ministar-je-rekao-da-udjemo-u-proceduru-evo-sta-kazu-optuzeni-u-aferi-generalstab-o-ulozi-ministra-selakovica\/\">&#8222;MINISTAR JE REKAO DA U\u0110EMO U PROCEDURU&#8220;: Evo \u0161ta ka\u017eu optu\u017eeni u aferi General\u0161tab o ulozi ministra Selakovi\u0107a!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#132;&#8222;MINISTAR JE REKAO DA U\u0110EMO U PROCEDURU&#8220;: Evo \u0161ta ka\u017eu optu\u017eeni u aferi General\u0161tab o ulozi ministra Selakovi\u0107a!&#147; &#8212; Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/ministar-je-rekao-da-udjemo-u-proceduru-evo-sta-kazu-optuzeni-u-aferi-generalstab-o-ulozi-ministra-selakovica\/embed\/#?secret=xw4FIpyQFx#?secret=WdXBissyt1\" data-secret=\"WdXBissyt1\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why didn\u2019t he leave the club and when will he leave?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A direct question followed as to why he did not leave the club at that time and step down from the position of president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf I had withdrawn the Management after the departure of the coaching staff, in 15 days it would have been forgotten who left first, the club would have gone bankrupt, because the obligations are 2.7 million euros per month. A story would have been created that we influenced the departure of the coaching staff and then magically withdrew so that the club would be shut down. I don\u2019t want to be responsible for the shutdown of the club. The club had no president and no one wanted to take it on. I\u2019m now watching some legends worry a lot about the club. I respect them, and I ask why they didn\u2019t worry and step into the club in 2017. Why didn\u2019t they step in then to face unsolvable problems? But now that there is a system I set up with the management, they are worried about the club. Why? It\u2019s easier to run the club now than it was 8\u20139 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he would leave the club when he believes the time is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t make such a decision because I knew it would be disastrous. I will leave the club when I make that decision. I came when no one else did. Today I listen to various insults, especially on social networks. You have a situation where someone sits at home, someone whom no one respects, and cures complexes by swearing and insulting on social networks. Stable people can\u2019t be shaken by that. I don\u2019t want to be disastrous for Partizan\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone knows that I saved the club from shutdown\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mijailovi\u0107 emphasized that he played a major role in preventing Partizan from shutting down in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone knows that I saved the club from shutting down; the fact that younger generations who were 8\u20139 years old at the time want to see what they want to see, and not the truth, I can\u2019t help them. I can\u2019t justify myself for something I\u2019m not guilty of. I was a guest on a show where the public image was changed because of journalists. They ask me what I said at the beginning of the season\u2014that the club should be sixth\u2014shouldn\u2019t the coaching staff be the ones setting goals? That\u2019s absurd. Imagine that as an employee you get a contract, the employer sets goals for you, and you tell them what they can expect from you. Many absurd things are happening, our public is poisoned by many untruths. That\u2019s how we got into this situation. The two most expensive signings in the club\u2019s history made the team worse, we were 18th in the standings, the coaching staff made the decision to leave on their own and responsibility was taken,\u201d Mijailovi\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/deadline-for-the-legalization-of-buildings-extended-applications-open-until-february-8-despite-announcements-from-the-ministry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">DEADLINE FOR THE LEGALIZATION OF BUILDINGS EXTENDED: Applications open until February 8, despite announcements from the ministry!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/pact-against-serbia-croatia-albania-and-so-called-kosovo-held-a-meeting-on-defense-cooperation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PACT AGAINST SERBIA?
