Chairman Dane Murphy leaves at Vitesse after six months, the club reports Tuesday. The American is not waiting for the end of the crisis in Arnhem and opts for an adventure with the English second divisionist Charlton Athletic.
Murphy became the owner of Vitesse in January together with four other foreigners. The acquisition raised many questions and suspicions. The KNVB license committee suspected that the American investor Coley Parry was behind the acquisition, while that is explicitly forbidden.
Last month, the committee expressed the intention to take the professional license of Vitesse, because the Arnhemmers “went on,” continued “with circumventing and evading the licensing system”. With that, Vitesse ended up in a new crisis.
In the coming weeks, Vitesse will have to obtain a professional license for the new season via the KNVB or possibly via the civil judge. Murphy is not waiting for the end of the battle for the survival of the second oldest professional club in the Netherlands.
The 39-year-old Murphy becomes general director of Charlton Athletic, who promoted to the second level of England last season. At Vitesse he worked as chairman of the Supervisory Board. He has put his position on his own initiative, Vitesse emphasizes.
Departure Murphy can have major consequences
It is currently unclear what the consequences of Murphy’s departure are for Vitesse. According to the club, the remaining shareholders conduct conversations about how Murphy’s shares are taken over. According to Vitesse, the KNVB has been informed of his departure.
Murphy’s departure can have major consequences for Vitesse. The then director Edwin Reijntjes consciously opted for a construction with five owners in January to bypass the rules of the KNVB.
The new owners then did not have to be checked by the License Committee of Voetbalbond. That happens according to the rules of the KNVB only when a person has 25 percent or more of the shares of a club.
If the remaining owners – the American Flint Reilly, the Germans Timo Braasch and Leon Müller and the Italian Bryan Mornaghi – get more Vitesse shares, they must still be investigated. Vitesse does not have that time. Before the start of the Kitchen Champion Division on August 8, there must be clarity about the fate of the club.
