Assumed the power of Hercules Luis Díaz Alperi as mayor in December 1999 After the initial enthusiasm in the weak economic and sporting context in which the blue and white club was developing, very difficult chapters came for the entity that painfully celebrates its hundred years of history. Enrique Ortiz’s tenure, surprise excluding, will be 23 years at the end of 2022 at the worst social and sporting moment since assuming maximum shareholder status. If the souls of the fans were already enlightened by the monumental sports failure, Complaint of the prosecutor’s office on the claim that the assets were hidden only aggravated the situation. Protests proliferate in the city, political backlash rages, and Ortiz has doubts about the sale of his shares. The atmosphere becomes even more unbreathable in the blue and white setting, due to a controversy that has been added to a long list since the builder took over Hercules.
LCentennial club management abused because of the multitude of events that made national news for more than two decades and left the blue-and-white image very damaged. Three bankruptcy cases, debts to the Treasury, allegations of match-fixing on more than one occasion, and now alleged seizure of assets to avoid a Treasury embargo of two million from Abde’s transfer to Barcelona. A series of extra sports segments as the team navigates the fourth category of Spanish football. Now they are the sixth team in the state behind Elche, Alcoyano, Intercity, Eldense and La Nucía.
Hércules’ sports career during Enrique Ortiz’s tenure is disgraceful if some very special bright moments are overlooked, such as two promotions, one of which is under suspicion of correction. Since arriving, Hercules has amassed twelve seasons in Second B, setting an overall permanence record, eight in a row, one in the Second category, one in the fourth category, and just one in the First Division. Including stars like Trezeguet, Drenthe and Valdez.
came later serious financial problems This triggered three bankruptcy lawsuits and employment regulation filings in the workforce. The club continues to drag on constant payouts and should face almost a million euros before the end of the month. Any complaint from creditors will cause the judge to liquidate the company without any suspicion of breach of contract.
A well-known episode in the Ortiz era, alleged fixes The Irún match in which Hercules was promoted to the First Division. From Alicante, the company included Real Unión as a creditor in accounting for the suspension of payments, which owed a little over one million euros.
The accounting memo justified the figure as payments for the rights of left-back Yuri Berchiche, which the Basque club signed in August 2010, and Valentín Botella, then Hércules president, appeared as the guarantor of the operation. Hercules argued that it had activated the option to buy, but the serious economic situation the organization was in prevented it from fulfilling its obligations and therefore included contractual debt “with the remaining creditors”.
The blue and white club also had to agree Threatened with a million dollar fine from the European Commission for alleged state aid. An episode that left Hercules hanging by a thread for several years, even planning to unravel if it had succeeded.
They’ve had great hardships over two decades, punctuated by institutional controversies and little joy on the ground. The future is more uncertain than ever. In the fourth category, and with a very annoying social audience that expresses its anger more often.
