On August 13, the Granada Pablo Cortacero, representative in Spain of the company Benel International, officially assumed the management of Dinamo Bucharest. The new board of directors promised from the beginning an investment of 10 million euros for this first season. From his hand came 14 signings, as well as a new staff and medical services. Among those reinforcements are the Spanish Borja Valle, Isma López, Tomás Mejías, Juan Cámara, René, Aleix García…
The exciting and ambitious project announced by the new president has turned out to be the opposite. Most of the players (some arrived in September), coaches and employees of the first team have been unpaid for three months And your patience is wearing thin The players who were already in the club were paid a month and a half so that they were not free and, in this case, the one with the least debt accumulates is two months. The general situation of the club is not better. There are employees and technicians of the quarry who reach five months without being paid.
This complicated situation and the continuous and bizarre lies that the club gives them to justify the defaults have caused the first team squad to value taking action. The most forceful, stop competing.
The bad economic situation of the club also translates into a dire sports situation, derived not only from defaults, but also from poor training conditions and problems generated by the lack of financial resources necessary to manage a professional club. Dinamo Bucharest, one of Romania's historic clubs, has lost five in a row and he has only won one of the seven league games he has played.
Coach Cosmin Contra is the person who tries to keep calm among his players, despite all the difficulties he encounters to motivate players who do not charge. Precisely, he was the first to comment to the Romanian press about the delicate situation the squad is experiencing. As he has wanted to know the impressions of several injured parties, but on the recommendation of his lawyers, at this time, they have preferred not to give many details and they limit themselves to saying: “They cheated us. This is grotesque. If it is not solved now, we will have to take legal measures “.
