Michel Schaay, The Leader of a Group of Regional Financiers, Wants To Use Vitesse to Support Amateur Football After Definitely Losing the Professional License. The Entrepreneurs Will Make a Decision About this Soon.
Schaay Stood Combatively For An Hour After the Disastrous News for Vitesse Along The Field at Papendal, The Club’s Training Complex. “This would be a great place to start amateur football,” he said.
Vitesse Fought Unsuccessully in recent weeks to Continue AS a Professional Club, But Behind The Scenes, Schaay Appears to Have Been Working On A Contingency Plan. He revealed on Friday that he contacted the amateur football directorate of the KNVB by Telephone Last Week.
“We would have liked to submit an application, but we did didn’t dare. We were afraid it would explode explode in our faces. That feeling was right. That’s why we harbor” can it yet. A Spokesperson for the KNVB Conirms this to nu.nl when asked.
Schaay would prefer Vitesse to Enter the Third Division, The Fourth Amateur Level of the Netherlands. “Other clubs in that division will also have to think about it. I am convinced that all of Arnhem will support this. Especany when you see the path we have gone through in the past year. We have a large following. That Keeps us going.”
Vitesse must Avert Bankruptcy
However, a lot needs to happen if vitesse is to make a fresh start in the top of amateur football. First of all, the club must not go bankrupt. Otherwise, a new club must be founded, which normally has -to start in the fifth class of amateur football.
Averting Bankruptcy will be a hell or a job for vitesse. Due to the Disappearance of Professional Football, The Club Has Almost No Income, While the Costs Continue to Run. A Lawyer for Vitesse Said on Thursday Duration the Hearing That Bankruptcy for Vitesse is “Irreversible” if the club was to Lose its Professional License.
Schaay did not want to go that far a day later. “It is Questionable WHETER We Will Still Go Bankrupt. Our Foundation is in An Excellent Position to Ensure That Can Help Vitesse Into a Safe Haven. A Haven Without Too Many Scratches. We Are Going to Choose the Best Possible Option.”
Vitesse and Schaay do not rule out challenging the decision of the summary Judgment Judge in order to get the professional License Back. Then there will be a substantive procedure, in which the Judge looks more at the content of the file. That can only take months.
Schaay is not thinking about giving up. “Today’s verdict felt like a disappointment, but I am from the fighting department and so are a lot of other people. That won just go away. We are going to regroup and move on.”
