In the wake of the fallout suffered from yesterday’s official confirmation that Elche are now a second division side, president Anguix has named José Alberola as the club’s new vice president following the resignation of Francisco Román and Daniel Rubio. Alberola is one of the local businessmen to have contributed financially in recent weeks in a bid to stabilize the clubs economic situation and indeed avoid a potential disappearance of the famous club.
With an outstanding debt of 7.4 million euro to be paid by July 31, Elche president, Juan Anguix will offer a press conference at the Martínez Valero stadium to put forward the club’s proposal to avoid another administrative relegation to the 2B division. His appearance before the media will coincide with a meeting between local businessmen and local mayor, Carlos González as the club desperately looks for initiatives to meet the outstanding accumulated debt.
