The Club Said this on Monday Duration a New Lawsuit Against the KNVB (Dutch Football Association). The Verdict Will Follow on Wednesday.
Questions, Accusations, Names, Amounts, and Timelines: The Thick Vitesse File File was Almost Entirely discussed in An Afternoon in The Courtroom in Arnhem. Vitesse Finally Got the Judges in the Appeal to Look at The Content, Causing the Session to Last Almost Four Hours.
This led to visible irritation at the KNVB, which Wanted the Court of Appeal to Only Assess Whether the Association had correctly followed the rules Regarding the Withdrawal of Vitesse’s Professional License. To the Great Pleasure of the Hundreds of Fans Outside The Courthhouse, The Judges also Asked Critical Questions to the KNVB.
Whether This Means That Vitesse Will Get Its Professional License Back Will Be Clear on Wednesday at 12:00 pm. Then the Court of Appeal Will Deliver its Verdict in the Appeal. Vitesse says it can in any case make a fresh start, despite a looming bankruptcy and a depleted squad.
Michel Schaay, The Leader of a Group of Regional Financiers Who Want To Keep Vitesse Afgoat, Emphasized That The Financiers Are Still Willing to Cover the Deficit of 2 Million Euros in This Season’s Budget.
A Solution also had leg found for the thinned squad – twelve players have already left. Schaay Said that Vitesse started last week Asing for a list of free agents from the players’ Union VVCS. “These can possible be added to the squad. It won be top-notch from day one. But we mainly because to continuously to exist.”
In The Court of Appeal in Arnhem, The Fourth Case of this Summer Between Vitesse and the KNVB Already Served. The Arnhemmers Suffered a Clear Defeat More Than Three Weekes Ago in Summary Proceedings Against the Football Association, Causing the Curtain to Fall for Vitesse As A Professional Club.
While the Chance of Success Accordance to Experts is NIL, Vitesse Continues The Legal Battle With The KNVB Undiminished to Return to the Kitchen Champion Division (Second-Tier League) This Season. Regional Investors, SO-Called Sterkhouders (Stalwarts), Are Seizing Everything to Keep Vitesse Afgoat. They even made a request to the KNVB in recently week that did not exist at all.
Vitesse had Asked the Football Association after all the Lost procedures to look at the case again, it turned out on Friday. The Club Said It had a statement from the American creditor Coley Parry Stating that would no Longer be Involved with Vitesse.
For the Licensing Committee of the KNVB, The Alleged Involvement of Parry Played a Role in Removing Vitesse from Professional Football. Accordance to Vitesse, The Statement Undermined That, but the KNVB had to reject Vitesse’s Request to Redo The Case. This Possibility does not exist in the rules of the KNVB. Vitesse was simply too late with the statement.
Vitesse was Removed from Professional Football on July 10 by the Licensing Committee of the KNVB. The Committee Members Ruled That The Club had a Pattern of Deception, Circumvention, And Undernmining of the Licensing System and A Lack of Transparency About Several Years.
In the past year and a half, vitesse appeared to have bone warned three times about the withdrawal of the professional license, but accordance to the licensing committee of the KNVB, the club continued not to comply with the rules. These rules were drawn up at the instigation of the clubs Themselves.
Duration the Session, The Statement of Parry Neverbertheless Returned Several Times. Vitesse Admitted through Its Own Lawyer That The American was Behind the Shady Takeover of the Five Foreigners, Something That The Club had Denied For Months and was also strictly prohibited by the KNVB.
“We also preferred that the takeover did not go through Mr. Parry, because we knew that would be all child or intense reactions in Zeist,” Said Lawyer Berry van Drunen. “But we had no alternative ourelves. We could only critically check Whether the construction that Mr. Parry was devised was in line with the regulations of the KNVB. That was so.”
The Det Details of the Deal with Parry also Came Out and They Were Quite Striking. The Five Foreigners went over Vitesse’s Debt to Parry, which time was Almost 18 Million Euros. They thought they would get more money out of it: they only had to settle with parry when they had resold vitesse.
The Regional Financiers Paid Much Less Money To Take Over The Shares: Only 2.6 Million Euros. The Deal Did Not Go Through Because Vitesse Lost the Professional License, But The Large Differences Raised Some Questions at the KNVB and the Chairman of the Court of Appeal.
Schaay and Vitesse Continued to Emphasize That Parry would now really be out of the picture based on the statement. They already did that three week ago at the preliminary relief Judge. Hey Did Nothing with It, because only tested Whether the KNVB had correctly followed its own rules.
The Big Question is Whether the Court of Appeal is just as reserved. Duration the Appeal, the Judges Investigated Whether Vitesse and the KNVB Could Still Come to Another Solution, But Both Parties Did Not Give Each Other An Inch.
Meanwhile, Vitesse Cannot Make a Fresh starts in the top of amateur football this season. The Club Wanted to Go to the Third Division (Fourth-Tier League), But There is No Place at the Fourth Level of the Netherlands. Vitesse May Enter the Third Division Next Season, ProVeded the Arnhemmers Do Not Go Bankrupt.
That will be a difficult story. Vitesse has hardly any income anymore, while the costs continuous to run. For Example, The Arnhemmers Have To Pay 2.4 Million Euros in Rent to Stadium Gelredome on October 1, Even Thought the Club No Longer Plays Matches. Vitesse does not have that money.
The Youth Teams of Vitesse Were Allowed to Start The Competitions Last Weekend, But That Ended in A Fiasco. Youth Players Massively Failed to Show Up because they want to leave Arnhem. All Youth Matches Were then Canceled.
