    Now I am even more confused. The power of tabloids, all this happened because of one stupid article in Marca, which lead Marchena to state the players were worried, which lead more tabloids to speculate that we will sell our players, which lead other teams to generate interest, which lead our board to make an urgent meeting.
    The end result is something that brings us to square one.

    @ Johnnie : A leap year has 366 days in it. As our board of directors would say “precision is everything and everything is precision”.

    I think it doesn’t mean anything … just that the directors support Soriano and put their confidence in him … this is all very weird, in my opinion. US sports teams don’t run anything like this …

    @ fayez,
    basically a year has 365,25 days, thats why they put the leap year in… but the other 2 were 100% precisely correct ;) And maybe one of the boardmembers has a small doubt, that would balance the 0,25 day-error :D

    leaving the nonsense, how come there is so much written about our financial situation, and i mean Las Provincias, not Marca, a Valencia newspaper, the mayer of Valencia even spoke about it. Thats serious business aint it, than why all this confusion…

    @ Johnnie : haha great explanation :) You should be on the Valencia board :)

    Anyway, seriously we cannot deny that we have a financial problem, like Johnnie said even lasprovincias.es reports it constantly (and I think they are the best source for anything related to Valencia).

    @ Fayez,
    trust me if i was on the Valencia board, i would make Valencia the most known brand in Europe, or at least try to! Maybe we can go to Valencia and try to convince to take us both ;) I’ve been at the offices of Valencia before, with a petition to sign Sneijder with a loooot of signatures. Never heard anything of it, but it was a nice experience hehe. We could try again ;)

    For those who understand Spanish, i suggest u guys listen to the radio messages at LasProvincias, they have a lot more information, but it is Audio so you’ll have to listen to it…

    @ Johnnie … I’ve tried to start a penya here in the USA for some time … I even stopped by the offices the last time I was in Valencia … the response was null and void! I feel like those guys have their heads up their asses sometimes!!

    @ Cesar
    Well we started this petition to sign Sneijder in 2007, i tried to look it up and i saw i posted it here as well. I went to Valencia for some business for like 3 days, and so i printed the petition with at that time 450 signatures or something. Got there, and i was waiting and waiting till they had time for me. Than somebody had it, and i gave them the papers with all the signatures haha, made some photos with the nice lady and left. Was cool, unfort i dont have the photos anymore…

    But i guess they have better things to do, than some dutchman showing up with 450 signatures for some player they couldnt get… But for a penya, i am sure u can arrange that man, but there are some basic things u need to complete. Sure you can get that mate!

    a leap year has to be ommited three times every four hundred years .fascinating.im not suprised that valencia take the fans for granted regards ignoring petitions.in the uk we managed to get a fan elected to the board so that our opinions were listened to but they only really paid lip service to it.cant see valencia letting a fan on the board.id certainly vote for young walker,his posts are always worth reading

    Apparently there is a foreign buyer for the Mestalla parcelas.The plan is now requested for 3 blocks of 25 instead of 4 blocks of 16. There has been a hold up in loan negotiations because Soriano has promised not to disclose the buyers name at this point but he has now been given permission to disclose his name to Banjaja and Rita Barbara (Mayor). The transactions were going to be finalised end of this month but the buyer has requested a further 2 months because of problems with an Asian investment and so is waiting liquid assets.
    Rita Barbara (Mare) says the Valencia Administration are not in any way responsible for the economics of a private club. This of course totally ignores all the money coming in from visiting fans and teams with Hotel bookings etc, even more so if we get in the Champion slot. Also a new stadium might be of value in future European cup events. With the provision for Athletics as well this is a giant project and not a local Tennis club and should be helped out by the City…..Almendras

    @ Almendras,
    i dont agree mate, the city might benefit from good football clubs, but it also is responsible for the costs of it, e.g. police, destruction, prevention of violence etc. It is a two way thing and Barbera has said the right thing, this is our problem and nobody else’s. I also have read about the London firm being in problem cause of other investments, couldn’t have come at a worse time but its the status quo so lets try to find other solutions.

    @ bob,
    i hope one day football clubs and especially Valencia will listen to their fans. The more minds, the more opportunities and solucions, so listen and learn from other i would suggest. Until that time, i thank you for your confidence and kind gesture towards me and my posts here, and for your own participation on this great blog! Amunt to you all!!!

    Just when I was relaxed and confident in the club and in the fact that villa was staying, after a wretched summer in which i’d wake up to – if i even got any sleep, as the fear kept me awake – new reports of a chelsea and or real madrid bid for el guaje, this financial crisis happens. Although we all knew that our books were foxed, this just hit unexpectedly. I swear if we sell Villa in the Winter, and I don’t get to see him when I go to Valencia in April for the Barca match, I will go ape sh**!

    the bank has been giving contradicting stories,
    first it said ,the bank union in spaing demands that there is a limit of 250m euros to a single customer which it has already issued to valencia.
    they say,that they will study the documentation submitted by valencia with affection and professionalism…
    i dont know,i think the bank wants to break the rules and give the loan but is also wondering what if something goes bad in future….
    The economy of valencia depends on this!!!!
    its really a tough time,But i heard there will be a third meeting between valencia and bancaja today evening or tomorrow morning to finalize the things
    Hope everything works out….If some thing goes bad ,i will not know what to do !!!!
    i cant imagine football without valencia!!!
