The president of Valencia, Anil Murthy, noted in an interview with Singapore's The StraistTime, that there's no use a club in bankruptcy, which has led the property to keep a responsible and strict control of expenses in the face of the complicated financial situation generated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the non-participation in European competitions.
“We are preparing for a difficult season and Valencia will not be the only club affected, “says the leader, who added” we are going to have a difficult season due to Covid-19, so we must be responsible and strictly control costs. What good is a bankrupt club?
“If things go very bad financially due to Covid-19, all the clubs will be in trouble.. We have to lead through responsible management during the Covid-19 crisis, ”Murthy reiterated.
Despite the fact that this last season criticism against his management has intensified, the president assured that “before Peter Lim took office, the club was unstable. We are in this for the long term to make Valencia a stable and successful club. We accept that we can make mistakes, but we will always work to guide the club so that it returns the best again ”.
Lim's management has caused the discomfort and anger of a good part of the Valencian fans, who has not understood the farewell to the successful company formed by Mateu Alemany in the management of the club and Marcelino as coach, as well as later the departure from the club of numerous employees and emblematic players such as
Dani Parejo
, with the freedom letter, or
Francis Coquelin
, at a price well below its value.
These latest outings have prompted the call for a demonstration this afternoon against club property, despite which Murthy notes that “as club management, it is our responsibility to empathize with the fans. As we have done many times, we always seek to have direct communication with the fans. But each club will have its problems and group of dissident fans ”.
