Corinthians is one of the most wonderful clubs in the world. Apart of having a great list of celebrity supporters(Lula, the late Ayrton Senna just to mention two), the club also were responsible for one of the most important democracy movements in football, the Corinthians Democracy, that in some way or other had a role in the democracy movement of Brazil in the 80ies.Also, they are the team of the working class in Sao Paulo, unlike FC Sao Paulo and Santos, and had no racial seperation policy like Palmeiras had.
So all in all, for Corinthians you could argue the "more than a club" status.
However, in the past years, they had signed a deal with the devil, namely MSI, a pretty shady company led by Iranian Kia Joorabchian, who probably made his fortunes through money laundry for Russian oligarchs.
So it was pretty difficult in the past years to have sympathy with Corinthians.
But thank God, the deal is over, and despite the struggle in the league, they will hopefully survive.
