Is Valencia Doomed?

  • Valencia is in trouble. The historic club in La Liga is now on the brink of much more than relegation, its towering debt has been buoyed by a billionaire owner who appears to have lost interest, or worse, may be milking the club for all it’s worth to stay afloat himself. It’s a nasty situation that is becoming all too common in the modern game.
    I hope for the sake of the fans there is a quick resolution, but I’m not too quick to jump on the ‘trash the owner’ boat, the situation is complicated and may be a something out of the ownership groups control. The Peter Lim group might have already jumped on a sinking ship and just kept it from sinking a bit longer.
    Much Love,
    The Zealand

    Ever since I went to Valencia 2018, I fell in love with the city and the club, I literally learned everything I could about them, visited the stadium, and adopted them as my Spanish team. So yeah, seeing what's happened to them makes me very upset and angered that Tebas (the utter prick) hasn't stepped in to do something about his pillaging of the club. How can you fire a great coach like Marcelino and basically force Parejo to leave on a free? A bullshit state of affairs for such a great club.

    Singaporean here. Maybe just an explanation on how most bosses here behave ...
    Or maybe not. His daughter's messages showed how they think. "We are the bosses. We do what we want, because we are rich (and you are not)." Literally "why people cannot understand that WE ARE THE OWNERS". They literally think that just because of this, they can do anything they want, and yet when consequences hit, they dodged them with more scapegoats ... And when there are scapegoats, it is never their fault.
    "The entire world is wrong, I am right." The frightening part about this ironically funny statement is how the local bosses really believe so. So, a few comments here on how Peter Lim would keep the club purely out of spite at this point is true. Deep sigh ... 😮‍💨

    Thanks for the video, however I think you missed one of the most important parts of the story, which is the influence of agent Jorge Mendes on the club's downfall. He is Lim's friend and he often shows how much control he has over the transfer policy or even the club's structure, you only have to check transfermarkt to see the amount of players brought in and sold by Mendes and his associates, sometimes even ignoring failed medical tests just to get that millionaire commision. Mendes also gives advice to Lim on how to handle the situation inside the club and it is very likely that he was behind Marcelino and Mateu Alemany's (who is now a hero at Barça) firing due to them not wanting to sign some players they were told to. Now it seems like Lim just wants to destroy the club out of pure resentment, as he decided to end a champions league project losing hundreds of millions of euros and does not want to invest in the club either.
    Also, former president Anil Murthy was an alcoholic that ridiculised the club in front of other presidents countless times.

    Valencia before Simeone's arrival they had the 3rd highest point tally of all time in la Liga.
    Since the 2000s, 2 LaLigas, 2 Champions League finals (1 lost in penalties to Bayern), won the UEFA Cup (Liga+UEFA double), a few Copas del Rey and a regular in European competitions.
    For a short while Valencia felt like a more attractive option for some players than Barcelona to sign to, having World Class players, but during Mourinho-Guardiola era it felt like they had cemented themself as a valid 3rd place team, as financial issues ramped up, creating a "stagnation" that led to title races being a thing of the past.
    It kind of reminded me of the Dortmund or Schalke of the Bundesliga, I just hope it doesnt follow through with going down like Schalke did...
    They had a stadium being built that would have 72k capacity to capitalise on their success and massive fanbase but its been paralised since 2009 half way through the build. Now there is talks of downgrading its design and capacity by like 10-15k and remove the plans for an underground parking lot (which makes the project feel kind of redundant) just to continue the build because obvious the city council has complained about the massive ruins of cement in middle of the beautiful city...
    An interesting Story is that the Prince of Johor, who basically created the most successful football team in Malaysia and is close to Peter Lim, showed repeated serious intentions of BUYING the club off Lim, watching matches at the stadium and posting about the legacy, history of the club, how beautiful the city is and how he would like to contribute to its success on his Instagram. However, after talks with Lim, the posibility of the takeover seemed to have vanished out of nowhere, either because of the incredibly strict Financial regulations imposed in LaLiga on clubs, making spending very restrictive, specially if these clubs are managing a debt, such as Barcelona or Valencia; or because he was straight up rejected by Lim because he refused to let go of "his asset".
    I guess thats what the Worst Owners possible for almost 10 years, bad owners prior to Lim, bad dealing with debt plus other financial issues and HORRIBLY intrusive punishing LaLiga financial restrictions by Tebas does to a club that could and should 100% be in Atletico Madrid's position competing alongside them :(

    They were a consistent top 4 to top 6 team for multiple decades and competed for the title more than a dozen times. Has literally the 4th biggest fan base in Spain after the big 3. This team should be competing for top 4 every season with Sevilla generally. What a shame and literally a wasted opportunity for such a big club. Hopefully they get new owners who care and can turn it around and make it again what it once was a competing side in La Liga against the big 3 and a threat on the European stage in CL & EL like it use to be.

    He actually invested in Valencia with loans, both money and players(look it up) to make it a bit worse. Salvo the current president at the time said that the only other bid that was serious other than the "Russian Maffia"(quote) and bids like that, was Wanda who is a serious player that has invested in Atletico Madrid and owns like 30% shares there I believe.
    Palm oil was actually something new to me, he might need to use some in that face because his skin looks like he had a meeting with Pinhead in Hellraiser or something. Also a tip for the daughter and probably next Director of Football.
    He refused to congratulate Marcelino and the rest of the squad when winning CdR which, money-wise, doesn't mean anything but for a supporter it meant everything after 10 years or so. So he did congratulate him(I doubt it) when qualifying for CL, but refused to do the same to the squad and coach when winning the cup. Then Marcelino never asked, or Alemany, for big signings just players he worked with in the past - not Mendes puppies and complete third wheels.
    Talk about striking luck like winning the lottery with that Palm-oil investment almost like Bitcoin back in the day. Zero understanding about Football, fincances - originally the son of a fisherman and he should have stuck to fish, palm-oil and at the best polishing shoes.
    Edit: Let me add what an impressive explanation of "what happened", you nailed it. And love the **TUKKITUUUUUUUU** "Voro"!

    Started an FM23 save with valencia a few weeks ago, not realising the background behind the financial problems. Been a difficult save with such low budget while still having the expectations of finishing mid table and been encouraged to sell players when bids come in. Finished 8th in first season but then had to sell Gaya to Man city for 55m, only got around 15m from that to then spend. Managed to finish in the europa league spots in season 2, but lost in the semi finals. The budget is less than 2m each season, but still expect to be challenging for european football.

    On another point, I think there are serious questions that have to be asked about Nou Mestalla.
    Firstly, they poured this concrete superstructure 15 years ago. What condition is it in and is it safe to continue?
    Secondly, why was it built in the style it was? This reinforced concrete structure was old-fashioned 15 years ago, now it's positively ancient. Most a built with steel frames and lightweight materials wherever possible.
    Thirdly, how much would it cost to finish this stadium? Might it be better to raze what they have and build a more modern structure?

    All I'm saying is this is the main fault of Javier Tebas. La Liga's president, as rather than helping a club in crisis such as Valencia, he's targeting another club in financial ruin Barcelona, not for the good of La Liga, but because he's a Real Madrid fan.
    And we wonder why La Liga is not the best right now, blame him.

      @@harry69007 There's another team that plays heavily into Tebas' interests, Athletic Bilbao due to their recruitment policy, stadium capacity, multiple language broadcasts (Basque), and relative popularity. The two big things he wants is Real Madrid to win and Athletic Bilbao being in La Liga (given the media money for broadcasting in both Spanish and Basque as Basque language broadcasts really only have a market for about 5 teams in the top 2 Spanish leagues).
      Edit: The Bilbao part might explain half of the "team destruction" policies from FFP in Spain as Bilbao can't recruit their way out of this problem without Man City levels of money.

Tebas's rules sure have made things extremely hard but we were already downsloping long before Tebas. He has had next to nothing to do with our collapse. It's Lim being generally horrendous in the market and keeping a major share of profits from player sales as the reason for why we are here.
