It's been more than a decade since the abolition of FC Vasluithe Romanian vice -champion of 2011, a club that had reached the Europa League groups at one point, but collapsed after Adrian Porumboiu stopped financing.

The chances of the yellow-green to resume their activity are null, confesses the president of AJF Vaslui, Bogdan Gheorghiță, in a GSP dialogue. The club route was dramatic: ascent, then insolvency, relegation and bankruptcy!

The disaster of the sports bases in Bucharest:

He fought for the title in Liga 1, was the “home” of class footballers such as Wesley, Adailton or Sânmărtean and has achieved memorable matches in Europe in front of Sporting Lisbon, Lazio or International Milano.

Vasluiul spiced the championship of Romania for several seasons, was involved in scandals, then completely disappeared from the radar of Romanian football. Over the years, the financier Adrian Porumboiu was to declare regularly that his team, without “political back”, was only a victim of the Romanian system.

The memories remained! FC Vaslui no longer exists, nor are there a chance to reborn

Designed in 2014, shortly after drawing with Inter on “Meazza”, 2-2, FC Vaslui no longer exists today.

And there are no signs that the brand could ever return to life. CSM Vaslui, the team of the City Hall, which works in Liga 3, has nothing in common with the old team and is not well assimilated by the community, which perceives it as an artificial creation. In fact, the North Vaslui lawn does not appear at the CSM matches.

Supporters had various attempts to reborn the old brand around a team built in “Sait” style, But the project encountered various obstacles and na passed the test of time, How happened in Timisoara, for example.

“Every time it was rumored that he had” raised “FC Vaslui, notifications from FIFA were coming”

The Sports Gazette spoke with Bogdan Gheorghiță, the president of AJF Vaslui, about the situation of the yellow-green brand. The news is not getting dressed for those who hoped for an “comback”, and this is because any attempt to “revive” will inevitably hit the sins of the old society.

“Somehow, Vasluiul could never continue with the club's brand and history, because there would have been some debts.

Every time it was rumored to have “raised” FC Vaslui, notifications from FIFA were coming. An initiative group wanted to take the record, the brand and the trademark, but when some of the former players began to shake, it was concluded that it is not justified. Were former players who invoked debts … (no as it happened repeatedly at the Rapid of Șucu).

The brand, the brand, the track record were at a liquidator, were at a liquidation company somewhere in Huși.

What happens to the brand and track record of FC Vaslui, 11 years after abolishing »the reason that prevents the return:

I know a project was tried with the supporters, but the players I was saying began to shake. There have been situations like this over time, because FIFA follows sports continuity.

The Entity of FC Vaslui no longer exists, there is neither CIF nor CIS (No. Fiscal Identification Code and Certificate of Sports Identity).

It was in a time a project like in Timișoara, Steel, Petrol, with the supporters, but they failed to reach the level of organization there … They could not promote, they were favored at some point to promote, but they could not, “said the president of AJF Vaslui, Bogdan Gheorghiță.

For a few years, Vasluiul had reached a landmark in the first league

Established in 2002, FC Vaslui lived its peak in 2010-2013, When he fought in two rows for the title, he played a cup final and evolved into the Europa League groups.

Under the command of Porumboiu, the club had become one of the important teams of the championship, the generous salaries offered by the businessman enticing footballers such as Adailton, Lucian Sânmărtean, Wesley, Carlo Costly, Marius Niculae, Gladstone, Fernando Varela or Ousmane N'Doye. And Elias Charalambous, the “main” from FCSB, played in Vaslui!

The victories with Sporting Lisbon and Sparta Prague, as well as the draws with Lazio, Inter, Fenerbahce and Zurich remain representative for the level that Vaslui had accessed in those years. The results were ephemeral, the fall could not be stopped in any form when Adrian Porumboiu left the club.

Every summer and every winter, a bus with football players came. Adailton came from series A … a football monster, you realize! Executions, labor, you had nothing to reproach. Sometimes, Mr. Hizo protected him, he knew when to cleanse him. When he came, Wesley did not seem to me who knows what, but then he showed his value.

I remember that in my last year there, I played the Cup final and took 3rd place, with Marius Lăcătuș coach. We could easily win the championship then. I did some bad results on the move, and those matches mattered. I did not understand how CFR won the championship that year, when we did not beat us at all that season. In the final of the Cup, they beat us at penalties after they could not give us empty in 120 minutes.
