From illusion to chaos, Mexican Football League, which sought to be an alternative to Liga MX ends the season with a disfigured face, with only 3 out of 16 teams, but still the hope of running a second campaign, according to its president, Victor Montiel.
In an interview with Half time, the manager admitted that he should not have started the season in September last year because many teams did not yet have the necessary organization and infrastructure, and even revealed that one of the applicants had tried to do so with a forged registration.
This was just one of the details accumulated in the last few months, in which there were dozens of public claims for players’ claims, warnings of lawsuits from workers in LBM compared to the board and very little sporting value for this non-affiliated competition Mexican Football Federation.
“Right now you believe in business people because they are negotiating and we are all to blame us, but we had a salary cap and when they can’t pay, they blame the league and that could be a mistake and this has caused internal problems and shows that we are to blame, but business people have not seen their economic capacity to solve, ”he said. Montiel.
“I trusted all the people to give them time to build their structure and as they did, time passed and, due to a bad decision, it was decided to start the league instead of when they were. already well structured; now in the second tournament we have to be aware that if nothing is clear, we will not be able to start ”.
CREMONESE WANTED TO FRAUD THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE
The first problem the Football League faced was the withdrawal of the invitation from Cremonese Xalapa, a team that claimed to sign the Italian Riccardo Montolivo and who did not accept membership because the payment for his registration was not true.
“This payment was never made, was counterfeited and then we took steps to track the payment and the voucher was forged; this was fabricated to the detriment of the league, because not even in that bank was there even box 6, where the payment was supposed to have been made “, he revealed Montiel.
The manager explained that the various debts of the teams led the League to also have some financial problems, with referees, e.g.
“It is a problem that cannot be hidden, we planned for the league to be successful and, in the end, the league continues to function. The teams were withdrawn due to lack of liquidity and this determined us all to have some debts, just like the referees, and that it led us to make decisions to ask teams to unsubscribe and now there are only the teams that managed to be solved and now we are doing a restructuring ”.
GUARANTEES FOR NEW INVESTORS
Despite multiple failures, the agency intends to carry out a restructuring that offers guarantees to entrepreneurs who want to have a team in place. the second tournament from the contest.
“We will improve some situations so that they take a turn and the entrepreneurs have this trust, this is a mutual mistake, they sought higher salaries and got out of control, they also lacked sponsors”.
ERROR IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL ACT UNLASHED PROCEDURES
In addition to employee lawsuits against Montiel, former Shark Club president Diego Bartolotta sued the League for Deception; before, Montiel He assured that this is due to the fact that there is an error in the constitutional act of the league and that from here he is trying to blame him for various problems.
“I broke off the relationship (with Bartolotta) at an earlier date when the partners were in a constitutive act with which they never worked and in which they proclaim what the league is,” he said.
“When we broke up, we already had the articles of incorporation which in the end had an error and that the error belongs to the Notary and therefore the registration does not work; partners support other things that are not and can prove the problem of error.
WILL SEEK A NEW PRESIDENT
Before leaving Carlos Salcido of the presidency League, Montiel will start looking for a new character to occupy that position.
