The property of the Valencia has reached its lowest level of support in the summer of 2020 and popularity between the Valencian people of their first six years of presence in the entity, shortly after having enjoyed in 2019 one of the best moments in the entire history of the club.
While a little over a year ago Valencia culminated the celebration of its centenary with the title of the Cup
of the
King, now lives in a situation of instability marked by the most recent sports results and the lack of harmony between its owners and its social mass.
Since October 2014, the ownership of Valencia corresponds to Meriton
Holdings, a Singapore company owned by Peter Lim, which is now represented in Valencia by Indigo
Murthy, president of the club since July 2017.
Although in the times of sporting success of a year ago, the leaders of the Valencia They did not arouse great enthusiasm, the situation had nothing to do with the current one, marked by the concentrations of fans against him, signs of rejection of his way of running the club and proposals for Valencianism to recover that property.
A year ago, the players who won the Cup
of the
King, the coach, Marcelino García Toral, who was fired in August 2019, and the CEO, Mateu
Alemany, which came out months later, were the idols of a Valencia that even after their departures maintained an acceptable competitive level, at least until the beginning of a catastrophic 2020.
The arrival of Lim In 2014 it basically caused three reactions among Valencianism. On the one hand, there were those who considered that the option was good as it entailed a input necessary to revitalize the entity, while others considered it a lesser evil necessary as there was no one in Valencia able to assume the situation.
Finally, a sector of Valencianism showed its opposition to the new owner, which did not prevent him from being received in his first game in Mestalla enthusiastically from those who trusted the project.
It was soon seen that the new managers had difficulty understanding the philosophy of Valencianism, as well as that of the rules
no
written of western football. His messages did not penetrate.
Only the sporting dynamics supported the project, when they were favorable, while in moments of anxiety such as those of the 2016-2017 seasons and the next, the critics they raged.
The criteria for signing and, above all, the hiring of inexperienced or unsuccessful coaches turned Valencia into a mediocre team. Just the arrival of Marcelino gave way to a period of good results.
With a significant debt and hardly having given Steps
ahead substantial for the resumption of work on the new stadium, even some local politicians have been reluctant to give the club new deadlines to tear down Mestalla and finish the new field beyond those formally established.
At the same time, the distance between the staff and the board, especially after Marcelino's departure and with the way in which he Ezequiel
Garay He left the club at the end of his contract as samples, they have been further proof of the delicate nature of the situation.
The terrible end of the 19-20 season, with the Valencia ninth and out of Europe, the departure of the players club as Dani
Equal and Francis
Coquelin and the absence so far of exciting signings are factors that contribute to an environment not very conducive to recovery that Murthy has announced based on austerity and confidence in the quarry.
With this panorama and without
Connection Between the managers and Valencian, proposals such as recovering the spirit of 1986 have seen the light, when the club was rebuilt after having dropped to the Second Division, supported by Mario
Kempes or Santiago
Canizares, among others, as well as those sponsored by the club's small shareholders.
In this context, the president Murthy has argued that the club cannot go bankrupt, has insisted on the need to reduce the cost of the squad, as was done even before the arrival of Lim, and has proposed the construction of a sustainable club, although the future does not present traces of the Valencia champion of fifteen months ago.
