Updated: Valletta FC ordered to pay BOV €203,527

This goes to show! Football is no longer a sport but a business! Of course this is nothing new…but hell, what else can I say.

@ J Scerri -

mela la inti dasqhekk meqrud bil-fatt li t=tim taghna jaqla 4 jew 5 ma timijiet (BTW ghaddejna round ta' Europa league.. imma nahseb kont aktar interessat kemm se jhallsu miljuni r-Real Madrid ghal Kaka inti), ma nafx ghalfejn qed titkteb f'dan il-post.

Whilst it is a shame that a premier club finds itself in such difficulties, something that could happen to any club considerin the local financial scene, I believe that the glee shown by a number of posters comes from the fact that of lately Valletta have been managed by a couple of committee members who are rather loose tongue and have pushed Valletta's aspiration too high for the last couple of seasons.
The fact that when Valletta lose a game these couple of peple come up with the lamest of excuses, eg, losing because of the ball boys or that the opposing team is promised bonuses etc only compels supporters from other teams to show plasure at Valletta's predicament and taunt accordingly.
No body should be happy about this problem but on the other hand Valletta supporters should keep their feet on the grownd and don't sing "Glory" before its time and their committee members refrain from excuses which only make them look silly.

@J.Scerri - Ikkalma naqra. Mhux ovvju li ghad fadal hafna x'isir? Biss, biss nghidlek li ghax il-Valletta FC qed jippruvaw idahhlu din is-sistema bhal ta' barra, Alla biss jaf l-ostakli li inqalghu. U probabli li ghalhekk qatt ma nimxu l-quddiem kif ghedt inti, però jiena ma naqta qalbi qatt Jiena bit-tim tieghi niddeverti. Probabli inti ma gejtx imrobbi bhali thobb il-Belt Valletta u dak kollu li ghandu x'jaqsam maghha u din difficli li nilhqu xi tip ta' qbil fuqha. U bilhaqq jiena KUNTENTA mhux kuntent.

@ Anthony Pace Gouder

Tista tghidli ftit fejn qed tarani naghmila ta' xi sid ta' xi klabb miljunarju ? Mela ghax taghti l-opinjoni tieghek fuq xi haga, irid ikollok bilfors xi interessi fiha/fih ? Jien lanqas maqdart lil-players imma lis-supporters li qed jiktbu hawn qishom il-klabb li jzommu mieghu rebah xi tazza TA' VERA fl-istorja tieghu.

Fuq kollox tim malti jew barrani, it-tnejn mhumiex tieghi allura nippreferi jekk se nissapportja tim, dan narah bi players ta' talent mieghu.

U rigward it-trophy li int qed TIFTAHAR tant biha li tawilna l-FA Ingliza, biex nghidlek il-verita, fuq il-MATCH OF THE DAY sikwit igibu ir-rizultati ta Malta f'kull harga tieghu !!!

@ C.R. Taliana :

Dawk il-figuri li ktibt jien huma FATTI u nahseb x'ghandu jsir wara il-medjokrita ta' rizultati li kellu it-tim Malti dan l-ahhar sentejn, ghal konkluzjoni wasalt wahdek .
Issa jekk int kuntent li ma min izzomm jaqla xi 4 jew 5 ma timijiet zghar bhalu f'hafna mill-loghbiet li jilghab, iddeverti !!!

To all day dreamers, with a faithful wish to see Valletta FC demoted or whatever likings you have..... you must ALL have missed this too:

''He said that the three former officials were no longer guarantors.''

Does this mean anything to all of you.... or you just stopped short of reading the title.

@J.Scerri -Jiena mkien ma ghedt li ghax ahna pajjiz zghir ma nistghux niksbu success, imma peress li kif urejt inti ir-rendiment taghna kif ippruvat statistikament huwa baxx allura nistghu nzarmaw?

Rigward kif iharsu lejna l-barranin jiena tghallimt nigi naqa u nqum minn dik l-inferiority complex li donnu nitwieldu biha f'Malta. Jiena nghix barra minn Malta u meta jsaqsuni, jiena nghidilhom minn fejn jiena u ma min inzomm. U ma nara xejn hazin jew tal-misthija anki jekk it-tim tieghi qatt ma rebah xi tazza Ewropeja.

Forza Valletta City dejjem u Kullimkien

@ J Scerri

Qieghed tiftahar li int fanatiku tal-futboll izda mhux ta dak LOKALI . L-atteggiament tieghek u ta' hafna "maltin"(?) bhalek li tismaghkom titkellmu f'isem teams BARRANIN "MILJUNARJI" qieskom il-padruni tal-Manchester , Inter , Liverpool , Juventus etc .

Nithassarkom ! Qeghdin toqtlu il-futbol Malti, inthom stess !

Jien ukoll insegwi Il-Milan u c-Chelsea , IZDA dmiri l-ewwel nissapportja il-Futbol Lokali .

X'jimporta li qatt ma nistaw nirbhu ic-Campions League . Hemm tant pajjizi li qatt ma jirbhu ! Mela int tissapportja team ghax GENERALMENT dejjem rebbieh !


Minn fuq , tohorgu tikkritikaw u tmaqdru il-players TAGHNA . Kif tista il- loghba lokali taghmel progress b'nies tal- mentalita taghkom , li lanqas qatt ma tersqu lejn ta'Qali , Centenery ,Kordin Hibs u V Tedesco Stadiums biex tissapportjaw it-Timijiet Lokali . Ghall dan ir-Rigward nammira is-Supporters Beltin , li verament jitilghu bihgarhom , jaghtu ezempju li f-QALBNA ghandu L-EWWEL jigi it-Tim ta' pajjizna .

Rigward it-Tazzi JEW it-Trophy , tidher li ma tafx xejn . Il-League Maltija hi wahda mill-Ewwel li gew imwaqqfa u din is-Sena ghalqet 100 SENA . It-Trophy ZGUR m'hi imbarazz xejn u ghandna biex niftahru li giet moghtija lil- MALTA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION mill-Football Association Ingliza .

@ j Pace

Skond id-dehra, biex tirrispondi tajjeb imma biex tifhem dak li jiftah haddiehor le!! Jien rajtni nifrah b'xi tim barrani? Dawk li semmejtlek huma FATTI u CIFRI REALI . Issa jekk trid tkompli tifrah bit-tazzi tan-nannu li t-tim tieghek rebah, iddeverti.

@ C.R. Taliana

Jien b'li ktibt ridt nghid li ghal ghageb kollu li hafna minn dawn li qed jiktbu qed jaghmlu u juzaw kliem BUMBASTIKU li rebhu minn jaf kemm il-tazza, il-fatt hu li ghal ghajn il-barranin, dawn it-tazzi huma imbarazz. U toqghodx tghidli li ghax Malta zghira allura wiehed ma jistax jaghmel success barra. Fil-kwalifikazzjonijiet tal-World Cup, dawn it-timijiet gew l-ahhar fil-gruppi tagghom u hdejn l-isem ha ssib in-numru ta punti u goals skurjati(fifa.com) u il-popolazzjoni taghhom(wikipedia.com) :

Malta P0 G.S.0 Pop: 413,609
San Marino P0 G.S.1 P: 30,167
Liechtenstein P2 G.S.2 P: 35,981
Andorra P0 G.S.3 P: 88,815
Faroe Islands P4 G.S.5 P: 48,660
Iceland P5 G.S. 7 P: 317,593

Ezempju il-Faroe Islands, pajjiz li fih jghixu fih Aktar Naghag milli nies(anki dan huwa fatt) ukoll irnexxilu jiskorja 5 darbiet u jiehu 4 punti. U hawn Malta bil-ftahir kollu li jsir l-anqas goal jew Punt wiehed ma rnexxilhom jaghmlu. U dawn huma il-FATTI.

@ Muscat Pat

X'mentalita fqira... fix jidhol GonziPN f'din l-istroja? Hawn xi hadd bena daru u m'ghandux dejn? L-aqwa li dan id-dejn jithallas!!

@ J Scerri

Inti malti jew? Kif tista tqabbel il-futbol malti ma dawk il-pajjizi li semmejt int meta ahna nigu RAHAL ta' pajjiz barrani? Mela hallina nifirhu b'dak li hu taghna u int oqghod ifrah b'rix haddiehor!! Ahna kuntenti hekk!

if the picture is bright as mr scriha is trying to paint it, why has it resolved itself into a court case?

@J Scerri . Mela bl-argument tieghek nistghu ma nipprattikaw l-ebda sport fuq din il-gzira ghax hlief ghal xi eccezzjoni kultant, difficli li niksbu successi barra minn xtutna.

Forza Valletta City Dejjem u kullimkien

Qishom GonziPN jiddejjen u jiftahar kemm hwn gid!

Tajba City! Imbasta kollkom tifhir kemm ghandna Liri u Euros! Bir bla qih jghidu tal Belt. Halluna tridux. U tantx tghamluha fatta li il league lest tafux! Ghax min jidhak l ahhar jidhak l ahjar, kif urewkom il Hibs is sena l ohra. Ergaw ghamluha fatta li F'mejju se tkunu champions u ilhqu iktbuha fil lista tac celebrazzjonijiet, kif kontu ghamiltu il final tat Trophy!

Dawk tal Valletta, ghamluha fatta illi it Trophy se jiehdu zgur,iltaqaw maghna, hadu il banana, ghamlu pjacir, tibqawx taraw kbir! Ejja Stripes, FUQ FUQ!!! FORZA BIRKIRKARA

Bhala Fanatiku tal-Futbol (MHUX TA' MALTA) qed naqra il-kummenti li nkitbu s'issa u l-ironija hi li hlief tazzi li ntrebhu minn tim Malti jew iehor ma jissemmewx.

Tistaw tghiduli ftit x'tip ta' tazzi huma dawn ? Champions' League, UEFA Cup, Intercontinental Cup jew Liberdadores Cup ? Lanqas ma l-ahhar 8 tal-Intertoto qatt ma kienu hawn tim Malti li kien kapaci jersaq, ahseb u ara ....

B'garazija li is-supporters tal-Boca Juniors, Milan u Indipendiente (l-aktar 3 club li rebhu tazzi INTERNAZZJONALI fid-dinja) f'daqqa ma jiftahrux bhal-4 minn nies li kitbu hawn. Ezempju it-tazza tat-trophy ta' Malta, dawn il-klabbs forsi juzawha biex jitfghu l-irmied is-sigaretti uzati fiha !!!
Biex tiehdu stampa izjed cara, L-ahjar plejer ta' Malta spicca jilghab hawn ghax nimmagina jien li hadd ma riedu minn barra.

Din l-istess bhal tal-Eurovision, Iridu jimitaw lill KANTANTI TA' VERA (barranin) u lanqas biss hemm paragun maghhom. Hela ta' Flus u ta' hin biss.

Only in Malta !!!

From most of the comments below....some people don't know how to read or simply read the headlines..this only shows the sour grapes of not having been able to strike a deal with Michael Mifsud and many other talented local players. EUR200K will certainly not bankrupt VFC.
To all B'Kara supporters there are still quite a number of matches to be played including 2 direct encounters......
COME WHITES!!!

@Mr.Pace Gouder

Meta se titghallmu ma titkelmux dwar fatti li mintomx infurmati dwarom ?
Is-Sur Scriha il-Bierah fuq programm televiziv spjega car u tond li l-Club tal-belt mghandu dejn ma hadt, u d-dejn li sab meta gie hu bhala president , fosthom djun ma clubs ohra u ma players thallsu kollha sa l-inqas centezmu. Din is-somma ta' 200,000 qed tithallas bla ebda problemi, u li mhemmx imsemmi f'dan l-artiklu hu li l-bank waqqa l-akkuza ghax kif il-president il-pagamenti gia bdew isiru. Tajjeb tkun taf ukoll habib li l-club tal-belt huwa wiehed mil-ftit jekk mhux l-uniku club li ghandu l-players imhallsin sa' l-ahhar ta'frar. Haga ohra li ghandek tkun taf li l- president taghna habbar li ftit tal-gimghat ohra ser johrog il-permess ta' l-stadium li se jkun jesa xejn inqas minn 7,000, l-ikbar stadium wara ta'qali. Ser jinbena hal-farrug ghax gewwa l-belt m'hemmx spazzju fej joqod impjant dak il-kobor . Haga ohra li ma tafx hi li l-club taghna grazzi ghas-supporters club uniku li ghandna jigbor kull sena somma li ftit qeda l-boghod mis-somma li ghandna nghatu lil bank igifieri serrah rasek li problemi finanzjajri mghandniex, l unika problema li ghanda hi fejn se npoggu it-tazzi ghax ma fadlilniex post.

It-tfal tal belt dejjem warajkom u jkantaw alenija

Ghalxejn l-ghedewwa jridu
Igarrfu lill tal-Belt
Tal-Belt dejjem rebbieha
Tal-belt Valletta fc

@Anthony Pace Gouder

Tindahalx. None of your business.

Jista , skond ir-regoli ta l-MFA , klabb ikollu daqstant DEJN ? U jghaddi daqstant ZMIEN (10 snin) ,u saddattant kollox jibqa ghaddej !

Ma dan kollu naraw ..... "Professional Scheme" ghall- Players , u certi progetti ambizzjuzi , inkluz il-bini ta Stadium ! maqtuh il-boghod gol-limiti ta' Hal-Farrug , qrib ir-runway ! Ghall-xiex ? Hemm x'ghandu x'jaqsam mall-Belt ?

Mela Valletta FC ghad ghandhom il-Problema Finanzjarja ! Mhux kif ipprovaw jaghtu l-impressjoni li issa kollox solvut , GHAX ......... MONEY NO PROBLEM (?????????????)

Dan huwa KAS UNIKU , jew hemm OHRAJN /

I am a supporter of Maltese football in general.

Come on stop laughing at others, at least someone is trying to improve Maltese football.

Proset all teams keep it up in order to compete with the foreigners.

A team from Cyprus made it to the Group stages in the Champions League, why can't a Maltese team do it !

Why is it that Mr. Sciriha is claiming that it is not true that the BOV has written to the Club for four times when this was witnessed in court ? Did Victor Sciriha attend the hearing in front of the Magistrate ? Just make a clearer stand Pres !!

Dear Readers,
I assume that Mr Scriha have disappointed most of you with his reply : "Payments have already started to be made".
I'm so sorry to see you all disappointed. Stop dreaming..... you will not see Valletta FC demoted...but you will surely see Valletta as the winners of the Premiere League. We have the best players, the best coach and the best supporters. Together we make V.F.C. an extraordinary team.
Good day to all :-)

Xi Hlew......Grazzi tal-hsiebijiet genwini taghkom imm kunu ghafu li mhux t'alli ghandna biex inhallsu imma ghandna wkoll biex nibdew nibnu grownd b'facilitajiet moderni u mill l-aqwa. Kellu bzonn ir-raporti ikunu ezatti ghax li dan ir-rapport mhux kollu veru. Grazzi Sur Vic.

ghal dawk is-supporters karkarizi li minghalijom qed jaraw kbir infakkarom li ghamiltu xhur biex sibtu president imexxi l-klabb ghax hadd ma ried jintriga bi klabb bla storja ta xejn bhal taghkom.nhar il-hadd nixkupawkom u l-hadd ta wara nordmukom fit-trophy u bhas-soltu tmorru tnewwhu l-wied tad-dmugh.ejja whites ha nghaqqdu l-20 kampjonat.

Kuragg Sur Vic,ahna warajk.Kieku tigri lil B Kara xi haga bhal din (min jaf????) forsi jkunu jistaw jiddepozitaw il-mijiet ta tazzi li rebhu biex jaqtaw id-dejn.Hekk jew hekk imdorrijin bil-vetrini vojta dawk.Forza City,il-league fil-qrib.

@ R.Guaci ........ x'deni hu ruhi !!??? :) :) :) dawk peanuts ghalina !!! :)
Ejja Whites !! halli ma nhallux tazza wahda f'ghaxar snin !!!!!!

Min ghand min tisma kummenti vojta, bla sens, u bi hdura? min ghand xi hadd li izomm ma B'Kara, sew ikantawlkom hudu pacenzja, ghax intom fadlilkom biex tilhqu lil belt, u jekk il belt kif qed tajdu fallew jew ha ifallu, B'kara ilhom falluti !!!!!!!! u hafna ilhom ta

FORZA CITY

FOR ALL BIG MOUTHS. see the reply of Mr. Sciriha who is very a generous person. All clubs wish to have a president like Victor., but only Valletta has this opportunity

Il-hlas tad-dejn ser ikollu jsir bilfors mill-Valletta FC imma l-aktar li ser jigu milquta huma il-pagi tal-players tal-Belt. Fix-xhur li gejjien ser nisimaw bil-protesti tal-players Beltin li mhux ser jithalsu fil-hin. Tkun haga sabiha jekk il-players jilghabu ghall Belt valletta minghajr paga ghall erbgha xhur bhala turijja ta' appogg. Jekk dan ma jsirx allura il-players Beltin ahjar isibu team iehor.

Jekk ma jhallsux dan id -dejn, il-bank jista jissekwestra lil- Michael l-ewwel nett , ghax l-aktar ta' Valur , slimiz fuq kollox , u x-uhud mill players l-ohra , u jzommhom RED CARDED sakemm jigbor dak kollu li-ghandhu jiehu .

Suppost , ma tantx ghandhom idumu WIEQFIN mill-loghob , hemm is-Sur Scriha !

tghid is sur scriha jaghmel xi konferenzaq stampa bil pompa kollha tas soltu biex itina di l ahbar?

@P. Bonello
"COME ON BIRKIRKARA. Ahna maghqudin in DEJJEM warajkom"

Mela nsejt li f'dan l-istagun stess, gieli laghbu B'Kara u kien hemm aktar players, milli supporters Karkarizi ??? He he he. Intom partitarji tal-bnazzi biss.

Ixxommu riha ta success u dlonk issiru martri ghat-team. Titilfu zewg loghobiet u ma tibqghux dilettanti tal-futbol Malti. Nafukom bizzejjed. U tinsewx.....B'Kara....of all teams...ma tantx jaqblilhom jitkellmu dwar djun.....u ifmhuni.

As our dear President confirmed this loan has nothing to do with the current management of the club. Thus no one can associate this debt with the current transfer activities. To all city haters may I remind you that Valletta got a loan from a Financial Institution and did not finance any squad by ruining a business chain that hindered many companies in the fmcg sector. Neither can we compare this loan with money which floriana had to pay back to one of their ex-presidents.

l-ghira f'dan il-pajjiz hija inkredibbli. Minkejja kulhadd jaqdef kontra, ic-ciklun belti ha jibqa ghaddej minn fuq kulhadd...FORZA VALLETTA!!

Il-bierah , biex jaxxaqa , f'programm Sportiv, is-Sur Schriha f'kuntatt telefoniku minn barra , rega tenna li se jibni Stadium fuq art li nxtrat dan l-ahhar ! Money no problem ?

mhux ekkkk, u hallsu ma nafx kemm al Mifsud wara il farsa li ghamel fuq Replay!!!! mhux ahjar mar ma sliema pajjizu jekk il flus mhumiex kollox? biex jidhol al 10 lghobiet jew ma nafx kemm, u il players lohrajn tal belt?? accettaw? ilhom emm aktar minnu..matchjom il flus tajd lil ohrajn? Valletta flus bisssss, ara teams ohrajn hbieb u team jibqaw! ma jhallux flus fin nofs!! hu hsibhom schriha! imma da tal flus mhux taht zmien sur schriha u mid dehra qed jghinhom.....

Basta rebhu is-sitt tazzez!! Rebhu it-tazzez u tilfu klubb!

Tajjba din... basta jghidu li huma l-iktar klabb sinjur go malta u jberbqu balla flus fuq plajers biex imbad ma jhalsux id-djun l-ghandom. Tal-misthija

Dear Readers,
Mr Scriha gave you the answer: 'Payments have already started to be made'.

So stop dreaming all of you who are hoping to see the Valletta FC being demoted!

Tajba cityyy... bkara bkara hej hej!!

Vera imsieken dawn ta Birkirkara hasbu li se naghlqu l bieb tal kazin. Ma ntikomx tort ghax b'hekk biss forsi tiehdu xi tazza jew tnejn. Come on WHITES . .

Ifirhu ifirhu ghax il-Belt ghandna d-dejn...bhal ma s-Sur Victor hallas lill-aqwa players tal-pajjiz l-aqwa pagi, hekk ukoll ha jehles dan id-dejn. Din kollha ghira tal-clubs l-ohra. Forza Valletta, minkejja li kulhadd huwa kontra t-team belti , xorta konvint li fil-bidu ta' Mejju ha nkunu qed niccelebraw it-tieni stilla.

Ghal ta B`Kara................Dawk peanuts ghalina, u inhallsuhom bhal ma ser inhallsu u mbikku lilkhom, ghax it tazza ser nehdulkhom.

Very hard to believe you at this stage ....you publicly said that Michael Mifsud will never be part of your team and oopps he joined your team two weeks ago and above all you even managed to betray your first football love .......Mxlokk for Valletta FC. Your actions says it all !!

clubs in the red are not supposed to be allowed to compete, let alone make big transfers according to uefa rules and mfa rules! but for the mfa, there are rules for clubs and there are rules for other clubs!

Tajba tas-City !! imbasta bl-istilel kollha !! sewwa qalilkom P Bonello.....hafna ismijiet u fil-grawnd ma jaghmlulkomx penny xoghol!! imbaghad ahna nilaghbu bit-tfal li jaghtu qalbhom u bla hafna paroli u L-EWWEL!! COME ON THE STRIPES!!

Great move BOV!! The irony of it all : President Schriha must have thought that since its called Bank of Valletta he could take what he wanted for Valletta.... Serie C MFA Serie C!

Now the valletta players will take their loaded bank accounts and leave to pastures green like they did when there was an exodus toward Sliema FC. ... when will Valletta FC learn?

@ Anthony Farrugia

When will Clubs learn that signing players on silly wages, does NOT guarantee success.

Unless Clubs have a VERY, VERY rich owner ( Abramovitch, etc ), AND are winning trophies
( if not, the very rich owner will look elsewhere for success ), AND have guaranteed income from sponsors, advertising, kit sales, etc, etc, you can guarantee that the Club will soon find itself in financial trouble.

Hallsu d-dejn li ghandkom!!!!!!! Forza STRIPES.BIRKIRKARA KOLLHA WARAJKOM.

Imma x'pajjiz dan kulhadd jiehu pjacir bid-deni ta' hadd iehor anki semplicement fl-isports!! Jien supporter Slimiz biex naghmilha cara !!

Pay up City!!!

Another Portsmouth F.C on the horizon?

Xriha ta dejn mhux tazzi !!!!!

Well done BOV. Next time take necessary actions faster and don't write four letters asking for payment. "Money no problem " thats what they all say so chase them till the very last cent.......
Try and get paid now because their wage bill has risen to more than 100K per month.

@laurence schembri : Wishful thinking. Since that VFC seem to be very close to your heart, I must tell you that VFC by May will be the Malta champs and not demoted!

Prosit BOV !!!!

TAJBA CITY !! FALLEJTU???!!! HAHAHA!! Team mifrud u mkisser ghandkom! kulhadd jilghab ghal rasu hihihihi! basta hafna plejers tan-nazzjonal!!

COME ON BIRKIRKARA!!! COME ON!!! Ahna maghqudin u dejjem warajkom!! Il-League ghal tar-Rahal dis-sena !!! ZGUR !! Ahna hadd ma jista' għalina ta' Vera ... la SLiema la Hibs la hadd lil kulhadd damdamna u ghallimna l-football!! Tarxien furtunati kienu!!

Come on the STRIPES!!!

The WHITES are in the RED.

Maybe they should deposit micheal mifsud?????

Payup or demote them.
