In some conversations with SUPERDEPORTE’s current chairman Anil Murthy, a media belonging to the same publishing group as this newspaper, the leader describes the harsh reality of Valencia CF in the economics section: “You are leaving this year with a deficit of 50 (millions of euros).

Audio recordings reveal that the president blamed an alarming lack of cash and refused any option to claim a loan: “What will we do next season? I have to pay salary. Where will I get 100 million money? Another loan? bad idea? So… (we have to sell)”.

We have a cash flow of 100 million.” The president also points out that the pandemic is exacerbating the problem: “This comes from having a workforce of 165 million, a budget of 200 when you’re out of the Champions League. In one season.”

Moreover, Anıl talks about the numbers required to enter the ‘Champions level’: “If you want to compete at the champions level, you need to earn 300 million. It’s very difficult with less”. And while ‘warning’ the people of Sevilla, turning to naming the teams as an example: “Look, Betis was there and it’s impossible. Sevilla has 260 million, but that’s why they are this year. If they don’t,” “Get into the Champions League…”
