How sad.
On one’s last legs, SK Deinze could well say goodbye to the professional worldthis Friday evening. Navigating in troubled waters for several weeks already, the Flanders club is no longer able to continue at the high level of Belgian Football since ACA Football Partners, an Asian holding company with ambitious plans to bring Deinze to the Jupiler Pro League, a level which he has never yet achieved, stopped funding the club overnight.
The players are experiencing a strange start to the season, but despite everything, they have decided to brush aside this very sad context, which has as its main consequence still unpaid salaries, and to play this Friday evening’s match on the pitch of the Petro Eisden (8 p.m.).
Three possible scenarios
One last match as a farewell? Not really because there is always hope of rescue, but it is tiny. This Friday, Walfoot discusses three possible situations. The club could be sold for a symbolic euro but the new buyer will have to quickly settle the two million debts and still dropping a lot of money to ensure the daily management of the club (around 4 million euros).
In the absence of a new investor, the club could also be placed under curatorship, and in this case theThe players would be released from their contract to immediately join a new club. In the last likely scenario, no bankruptcy is declared immediately. In this case, players will have to send three registered letters to the club to request their freedomafter two months without being paid.
We will quickly have to find the right decision.
