Sevilla ultras: We REJECT Ramos; this decision STAINS the club

Sevilla's ultras have rejected the apology offered by new signing Sergio Ramos.

The former Real Madrid captain has returned to Sevilla after 18 years away. After signing his one-year deal, Ramos made a public apology to Sevilla fans for the running feud they had had over the years.

But a statement from one ultras group read: "As an ultra group of Sevilla FC For almost 50 years, we want to express our rejection to those who proposed this signing. We are not moved by hatred or rancor, but by love and pride for our club, its history and its fans.

"We believe that the mere proposal of this signing already implied a lack of respect for the values that have made us great, for the symbols and legends that have defended our shield, and to the thousands of sevillistas who have suffered the contempt of this player in the past.

"We think that this signing benefits the interests of managers who neither understand nor know what makes Sevilla FC great and who only look after their personal interests and/or economic. We are not like them and we will always be next to Sevilla FC; but not of those who stain it with their decisions.

"Sevillism must have memory and pride, analyze the situation and each draw its own conclusions. We, as a group, are very clear and although we know that every day fewer of us put our values ahead of the economic, it is something that for Biris Norte there is no negotiation."
