The Lakua Sports Club continues to be involved in a climate of maximum tension. The board of directors of this Vitoria football team and the families of … The players (the club has 800 chips) met this Friday to try to bring positions closer together after the recent confrontations due to the financial hole (close to 100,000 euros) that the entity is dragging and the lack of coaches. A growing tension that was reflected at the conclusion of the event that took place yesterday in the Zabalgana civic center, where the Local Police had to go due to the possibility of altercations.
The outcome summarizes a schism that after an hour and a half of meeting failed to resolve its future with guarantees. For now, the board agreed to present to the families on Monday, as requested, an economic report so that they can examine the expenses and income in the accounts. In parallel, the Alava Provincial Council, which met with the Lakua leadership on December 30, will commission an audit of the Vitorian team to review the movements and reveal if any anomaly has occurred, as EL CORREO announced this Friday.
The families, who during the meeting demanded the resignation of Mohamed Akbache, will wait until they know the content of that exhaustive economic report before taking a new step forward. However, the result of the economic examination does not calm a storm that also threatens the delicate sporting situation of the entity. The families point out that about a dozen teams of different categories lack a coach, which impedes the sports development of the kids. The disagreement, which affects nearly 800 children and compromises the future of the agreed Athletic club, worsened on the eve of the return of school football after the Christmas break. In fact, many kids will pack their backpacks again today in the middle of a delicate sporting situation.
The president, who ruled out resigning from his position because “it would be acknowledging that I have acted badly and that is not the case,” issued a statement at night that reflects the abysmal difference that currently exists between the club and the families. «The meeting took place in a correct atmosphere, but what happened outside was regrettable and intolerable. “Little children have been used to whistle, scold and point,” the extensive writing states. Likewise, they insist that “the only way to solve economic problems is for families to meet their payment obligations. “If the fees are not paid, the club will continue to go into debt.”
Sources from the board indicated that of the 684 families in the club, 420 owe one or two fees, which are often paid in three installments and amount to 450 euros in federated football and 420 in school football. From Lakua they attribute the current problem to an “intoxication” of “false data” by some coordinators and coaches who have left the club towards the families.
An extreme that parents deny. The families blame this situation on the poor economic management of the current board for the “critical” situation of Lakua. The board, which took over the reins of the club in March, asked families for peace of mind throughout Christmas, stating that the viability of the entity is guaranteed and pointing out that there are no debts owed by the current board to suppliers, supplies, insurance or coaches. “The climate of uncertainty experienced in recent weeks has caused many families to stop paying their fees,” said the club president in a letter on social networks.
