The structures of Betis Basketballquite fragile in the face of the gale that hits the parent company, the Mexican YOX Holding, suffered another hard blow this Monday with a view to the end of the season. Five workers were fired, some of them within the professional functioning of the first team, such as a physio, a physical trainer and those in charge of all the specific communication of the basketball team. That, together with the words of a highly credible source, who assured that the budget has been exhaustedmake the end of the season quite uncertain.
The squad led by the Brazilian Bruno Savignani He is fulfilling his mission throughout the second round and even after some notorious escapes, such as the one carried out by the North American Branden Fraziersigned as a true star in the boom times of the Mexican conglomerate XOY, is classified in the positions that give the right to compete in the qualifying rounds for promotion.
That, of course, was an obligation for a team recently relegated from the Endesa League, but it must be taken into account that The start of the season was terrible and it was even very much closer to relegation to LEB Plata than that objective, then chimerical, of promotion. Now with a free non-EU placenot being able to cover it due to lack of budget, the team wins much more than it loses and even shows enjoyable basketball for its long-suffering fans.
Possibility
The option of Joaquín Rodríguez leaving was considered to cover the budget and then Pablo Marín’s injury arrived, but nothing can be completely ruled out
But the situation remains quite uncertain. The rumors within the LEB Oro clubs themselves indicated that Betis Baloncesto not only was not going to be able to make any financial outlay to fill Frazier’s place, but that it was closer to a sale of its great star, the Uruguayan Joaquin Rodriguezwhat if a really tempting offer arrived.
The injury to point guard Pablo Marínhowever, it seems that he stopped that new exit, although nothing can ever be ruled out categorically, nor an entry before the deadline will definitively close at the end of this month of Marcheither. But within the club it is insisted, with utmost concern, that the budget has already been completely exhausted.
The situation in Mexico remains unresolved and the president, Carlos Lazocontinues to be in unknown location after the whole scandal was uncovered with XOY Holding for not being able to meet some commitments with its gaming companies and having been accused of fraud by the Jalisco Prosecutor’s Office. All of his teams there can no longer compete, having been abandoned to their fate by a businessman who went so far as to say in his presentation that everything had gone better than well in Mexico and that he was not going to fail precisely here in Seville.
Charges
Ramón Alarcón, CEO of Real Betis Balompié, continues to appear as president of the board of directors of the basketball team
Inside of the verdiblanco basketball club whatsapp group This Monday the departure of those responsible was known and another worker spoke openly about the situation that is already known to everyone. “The panorama that is already known, unfortunately leads us to be in this situation (…). At the moment what the club tells me is that given the situation we are experiencing, measures have been taken for the viability of the team.” Another source reiterated that the budget had been exhausted and within Real Betis Balompié there was no answer in response to demands for information from some journalists.
Seville newspaper already pointed out in previous information that the Verdiblanco CEO continues to appear as president of the board of directors of Betis Baloncesto, Ramon Alarconand the situation seems increasingly more compromised. In the last game, the City Council removed any vestige of XOY on the parquetalthough other sources indicate that this is still subject to some changes in the next meetings, although we will have to see what they are.
The uncertainty is total, then, and we will have to see how the season ends for the LEB Oro team, the ninth classified today. The doubts, the questions without answers, are much more accentuated outside the courts than inside.
