How will Deinze’s situation evolve? Nobody knows since the club was given an additional two weeks to sort out its affairs. In any case, the club’s situation attracts all the attention of the championship.
In great financial difficulty, SK Deinze was granted an additional two weeks to settle its affairs. The Dutch-speaking club, deserted by salaried players, played with its youngsters against the Francs-Borains this weekend (0-3 in favor of the RFB).
Deinze will therefore play well against RFC Liège and Seraing over the next two weeks. Two teams, and especially the Steelworkers, bottom red, who need points to ensure their survival in the professional world. Even if Football remains an inexact science, it is therefore a safe bet that the two Liège teams take three points against Deinze.
A truncated D1B because of the Deinze situation?
But let’s imagine that then everything works out. Teams beaten or hanging against Deinze, at the bottom of the table, like RSCA Futures, Jong Genk and Lokeren-Temse could feel aggrieved by this situation. These are also small noises that are already starting to be heard, while Deinze has not yet lost against Liège and Seraing.
If Deinze finds itself in liquidation, La Louvière, RWDM and Patro Eisden will lose three points. Lokeren-Temse, Lommel and Zulte Waregem will lose one point. As for Lierse, RSCA Futures, Club NXT, Jong Genk and Beveren, they have already lost to Deinze and would therefore not lose anything else. RFC Liège, Seraing and Eupen still have to face “SK” before the end of the first round.
Depending on the future of Deinze, the situation could therefore change greatly in the ranking. If the Dutch-speaking club disappears, there will only be one team relegated to the amateur world, but all this will only be known next month. A strange situation, which attracts all the attention of the championship.
