In a dialogue with GSP director Ovidiu Ioanițoaia, Gino Iorgulescu (68 years old), the president of the LPF, denies that he quarreled with Cosmin Olăroiu, Al Sharjah's coach and the new selector of the United Arab Emirates.
– Mr. Iorgulescu, what are the words like You quarreled with Olăroiuthat you borrowed from him, and that you sued the restaurant you had together and sold?
– These are not talking, there are gossip. And worse, there are lies. Aiureli.
– I mean, isn't anything true? Inventions of the press?!
– Unfortunately, yes. It is only real that I gave in to Cosmin, for his boy, my actions from Trattoria Il Calcio from Herastrau. And, I do not deny this, I borrowed some money from him, which I will return. I am solvable because I have to receive a significant amount from the sale of a house in Snagov.
– What does important amount mean?
– You are you, you want to know them all! Yes, it's about 1.3 million lei, for which I judge with the buyer. According to the contract, he had to pay the entire amount until the end of 2024 and did not.
Ioanițoaia, dialogue with no houses with Gino Iorgulescu, the head of LPF: “The trouble in which Mario has cost us. I had to sell 5 treaties urgently, all under the market price”
Gino Iorgulescu acknowledges that he gave up the business that brought him millions of euros
– Clear. From Olăroiu how much money did you take?
– Our job, not the press, don't get into the soup of others!
– As for …
– I count myself with Olăroiu, we do, do not mix and do not go anymore! If you don't believe me, call Oli in the emirate and you will be convinced.
– Honestly, Mr. Iorgulescu, do you have problems with money?! At your league salary, 33,000 euros a month! You should not be distressed, on the contrary!
– The trouble in which Mario put us costs huge. Doctors, lawyers, clinics, treatments, etc., had to sell 5 treaties urgently, all under the market price.
– By the way, in which internship is Mario's process?
– My son, the only child, was wrong and it is normal to endure consequences. But as the act committed, not to serve as an example to others. There must be no examples in court. However, some things seem to be incomprehensible. I'm overcome.
– For example?
-He received a certificate of handicap in Italy, an act not taken into account by our justice, although the European laws stipulate that a document on this kind issued in an EU country is valid throughout the European Union … but we went away from the subject, so I repeat, I am not quarreling with Olăroiu and the less it is true. A lying lie.
Cosmin Olăroiu sent to Ioanițoaia, from Emirate: “Gino Iorgulescu is my older brother. We will never argue”
Gino Iorgulescu and Cosmin Olăroiu vehemently denied that they quarreled
Call at Al Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, Cosmin Olăroiu told Ovidiu Ioanițoaia, recorded discussion:
“I wonder that such aberrations can appear in us! Gino Iorgulescu is my life friend, my older brother. We have never quarreled and we will never argue, excluded that. If necessary, he helped me and it was a turn to try to help him, in the idea that he goes through a difficult time, this is known. Material and mental. So, the rest are evil and envy. Anyway our relationships look at us and no one else ”.
Gino Iorgulescu: “There are club presidents who have a salary comparable to mine!”
-Mr. Iorgulescu, if we still got you hard, that you do not like the interviews, would you not want to develop the subject of your salary from the Professional League? That rises to …
– You said, 33,000 euros a month. But before taxes, so you drop several thousand.
– I agree, but this is very much compared to how much the Romanians earn, do you think?
– In fact, I take from the money brought by me for LPF and for clubs from the TV rights that I have attracted and negotiated in such a way that the superliga is better from one season to another. The salary also impresses because I no longer give up half of it as during the first term. I am currently gathered with the door because of the accident committed by my son.
– Stay that way, where did the half of which give up?
– It was added to the support fund of the former footballers with financial difficulties, with small pensions or even without. To which the League gave at least one thousand euros, if not two or three, four. From case to case.
– Can you provide a few names on that list?
– From what I remember, Vasile Iordache, Marin Stelian, Cristi Coroian, Stefan Popa, Marian Bâcu and others. Some have gone down in the meantime, be the light country! The list included about 70 names.
– Mr. Iorgulescu, what about your huge salary?
– It's not small, admit, but what do you like to count on the money of others! So that there are more club presidents from the play-off teams, you certainly know, who have my salary or even higher! Because they, besides what they provided for in the contract, also take game bonuses. And I, I insist, are paid from the money brought by me.
– Regarding …
-So, I didn't quarrel with Olăroiu, I didn't sue and I didn't think! Thank you very much, a good day!
– Likewise, health!
