In recent days, a faction calling itself the “We Can Take It Back” platform has gathered Hercules fans and paying subscribers who are openly critical of the club’s ownership under Enrique Ortiz. The group issued a clear message urging Hercules supporters not to travel to the stadium this Sunday in an act aimed at leaving the property in a quiet, non-confrontational manner. The aim is to send a visible signal that fans are dissatisfied with how the club has been managed and that they expect accountability from leadership.
The organizers have become a recognizable voice in the ongoing campaign to replace the current leadership. Through organized marches, public demonstrations, and targeted advertising efforts, the platform seeks to rally supporters around a cause: the departure of the head of the organization and the restoration of a direction that aligns with what many fans believe is best for Hercules. Frustration has grown in tandem with what fans describe as a lack of timely communication from the club following controversial events and a perceived misstep in leadership following the recent disaster in sports governance and the appointment of a new president, Luis Castillo.
In communications shared with fans, the platform stressed that the current moment demands more than words. It called for a disciplined response from the fan base, urging attendees to attend the upcoming match against Atletico Saguntino with restraint and a clear focus: to express discontent without allowing the opposition to claim the moral high ground. The message was explicit: the leadership, the sporting director, and the ownership have not stood with the supporters, and the ongoing neglect is unacceptable. The sentiment of being sidelined and ignored by those in charge was a recurring theme in the announcements disseminated by the group.
The platform described the situation as a turning point for the club’s public image and its relationship with the fans. It asserted that the effort to remove the Ortiz family from influence would persist until a change in governance is achieved. The organizers, referencing their long-running commitment to Hercules, stated that the campaign would not dissipate after Sunday and that the fight to secure transparent, accountable leadership would continue. The aim is to safeguard the club’s integrity and ensure a direction that reflects the values and expectations of its supporters.
Attendees and backers of the platform expressed gratitude for the unwavering support shown by the fan community. With a common resolve, they emphasized that unity among supporters is a powerful force capable of driving meaningful change. The overarching message is that a storied club deserves leadership that communicates openly, acts with accountability, and places the best interests of Hercules at the forefront of every decision.
