VALENCIA Football Club has been put up for sale by Bankia over a multi-million-euro debt and the 'impossibility' of any 'viable' way of paying it off, reports the management. The Valencia FC Foundation owes the financial institution over 85 million euros and Valencia Football Club itself is in the red with Bankia by over 200 million. As a result, investors are being sought to 'guarantee the social, economic and sporting success' of the premier league team. Bankia's decision to sell the Club to 'rid itself of inherited debts' from Bancaja – one of the two entities, the other being Caja Madrid, which formed the State-owned bank – coincided with the shareholders' AGM in which chairman Amadeo Salvo said they were seeking ways of restructuring the debt to avoid its sale. He stressed that whoever bought the Club would have to be someone 'prepared to create a great team', 'wipe out the debts' and 'finish off building the new Mestalla stadium' which has been left at half-mast for many years due to lack of funds. But Bankia has said Valencia FC has so far failed to come up with a sound plan to deal with its massive deficit. The money owed to the finance firm relates to various loans taken out to provide capital to the Club. However, Salvo insists that it is not Bankia's decision – nor that of the regional government – whether or not the Club will be put up for sale because 'they do not own it'. “If anyone is wants to sell it, they will need to convince the shareholders here present since, unless and until a court judge rules otherwise, all shares in Valencia Football Club belong to us,” the chairman stated. He added that three operators had announced plans to present offers to finish building the new stadium and that this alone 'could see a cash injection of between 200 and 300 million euros', which would eradicate most of the unpaid loan with Bankia. And the business model for Valencia FC has to change because, since 1999, it has 'not taken into account the sale of players', which has historically led to 'negative financial results'. “We cannot constantly sell off our best players to pay our creditors – we need to qualify for the Champions League or next year, we'll be 40 million euros down,” announced Salvo. “Valencia Football Club cannot continue to stay afloat with the 12 or 15 million a year it gets from its commercial investments. “The Club is a powerful brand, but we have been causing it to depreciate in value.” Salvo concluded that the Club has been working with 'at least 22 multi-national corporations' over 'sponsorship issues'. |

Šimunić was involved in controversy following a 2–0 win for Croatia against Iceland in Zagreb on 19 November 2013. He was accused of neo-Nazi sympathies having directed the crowd in a chant following the game. The use of the salute Za dom ("For the homeland"), with the fans responding, Spremni ("Ready!") was reminiscent of the salute used by the fascist Ustaše movement in Croatia during World War II.[6] He defended his actions saying that he was driven by "love for his Croatian homeland." After the match Šimunić responded to his critics: "Those who are bothered by those shouts should study history. If it bothers someone, then it's their problem. I'm not afraid."[7] For this incident Šimunić was fined 25,000 kunas by the Croatian State Attorney's Office for inciting racial hatred and harassment of other participants of a public gathering.[8] After an investigation, FIFA has decided to suspend Šimunić for ten official matches, banned him from entering the confines of the stadiums for those ten matches and imposed a fine of CHF 30,000.[9] Šimunić's behaviour has been denounced by the Croatian Minister of Sports Željko Jovanović, Association of Anti-Fascist Fighters of Croatia (SABH) and various foreign and domestic media.[8] From wiki. There is also a youtube vid. |

just saw this on SSN. EPL teams that have scored less goals than Luis Suarez has this season (and that's with him being banned for the opening 5 games)
