Kažić "removed", and Kažić at work: What's happening in Budućnost?

The Board of Directors of Budućnost dismissed Executive Director Predrag Kažić, media reported at the end of last week.

There has been no official announcement from the club about this important decision for any organization, and there still is none.

Kažić, meanwhile, arrived at work promptly today, the first working day of this week after the Easter holidays.

"I have not received any decision on the dismissal, nor do I have any idea about it. I have no information, except from the media. Whether something happened at the part of the Board of Directors session that I did not attend, I really do not know. The club president did not inform me about it either. I am waiting for the minutes of the session, I am waiting for the decision, when I receive it, if I receive it, the public will be informed in a timely manner," Kažić told "Vijesti".

Was he removed or not?

A simple question, a simple decision, but in a club like FK Budućnost, this too turns into a theater of the absurd.

What happens?

Kažić's dismissal, as we learn, was voted on at a meeting of the Board of Directors that was not attended by the president of the Board of Directors and the club's first man, Boris Spalević.

In order for the decision of the Board of Directors, which includes Mileta Šćepanović, Feđa Smatlik, Nikola Marković, Ninoslav Kaluđerović and the representative of "Varvari" Emin Isić, to be final, it must be signed by the President of the Board of Directors, Boris Spalević.

When will he do it - and whether he will do it at all - bearing in mind that Kažić, at least from the outside, was and still is considered his very close associate (after all, they arrived together for the derby in Nikšić on Sunday) - is a big question.

If he doesn't do that, then it's "officially" clear that there has been a major split in the management structure of the Podgorica club. That split is only unofficial for now...

In a season when Buducnost recorded the worst results, probably in the entire club's history, when everything related to the Podgorica club turned into a classic farce, there was still one thing missing - a fight for supremacy in the club (read: for the disposal of taxpayers' money).

"I have not received any decision on the dismissal, nor do I have any idea about it. I have no information, except from the media. Whether something happened at the part of the Board of Directors session that I did not attend, I really do not know. The club president did not inform me about it either. I am waiting for the minutes of the session, I am waiting for the decision, when I receive it, if I receive it, the public will be informed in a timely manner," Kažić told "Vijesti".

In a Board of Directors composed exclusively of party cadres and representatives of various political structures, analogous to the coalition in power in the Capital, separations along party lines are logical (party as an absolute priority), but in this case, the announcement of the division was not tailored along a clear political line.

Since this summer, the Board of Directors of Budućnost has included members who are fierce opponents and advocates of changes and dismissals in the Football Association of Montenegro, which is definitely one of the lines along which a separation is looming.

This is supported by reliable information that, as one of the "series of failures in work", as some media outlets explained Kažić's dismissal, was that the executive director communicated with the Football Association, the branch that runs the competition, via email without the permission of the Board of Directors.

Whether the alleged desire of a part of the Board of Directors to appoint current Board member, former referee and one of the most vocal advocates of change in the Football Association Mileta Šćepanović as the new executive director, instead of Kažić, and to act even more vigorously, on behalf of Budućnost, towards FSCG president Dejan Savićević, will be proven in the coming days.

However, whatever they show, the fact that all this is happening at a time when Buducnost is fifth in the Montenegrin league table, when no one is watching them, with almost two and a half million in money pumped in from the capital's budget, gives the whole picture not only a miserable and devastating, but also a modernist and petty-bourgeois effect.

The "circus" with state money - taxpayers' money, is in even greater swing.
