Valeriu Iftime does not see the change with good eyes. Patronul clubului despre care spune că nu primește ajutor financiar din partea autoritorităților locale consideră că banii publici ar trebui să dispară din Liga 1.
Valeriu Iftime, about the modification of the Sport Law: “It seems to me outside the rule”

The problem is that the moment when there is talk of such a subject it seems to me outside the rule. Când noi vorbim despre gestionarea banilor publici, iar Statul ar putea bagă mai mulți bani în fotbal… Dacă Statul are bani pentru așa ceva să nu ne trezim că am putea avea surprize mari.
I did not keep in touch with my party colleagues. We must be much more attentive to what the Prime Minister says about the management of public money. Those who are affected say that the law is bad. I don't know if the law helps someone. Public money in Liga 1 should disappear. We should walk to that topic.
Let me tell you something, I live in this field, I struggle to bring Romanian players and I can't find it. More are the foreigners and have a more accessible salary. I have no public leu in Botosani. There were 80,000 euros from some NGO projects. It doesn't matter. It's not just moral, it's against rules.
I don't know if this law changes something. I understand that it is supported by PSD and gold. I do not know exactly what provided or how it was and where it changes. At first glance it means that a City Hall could be in a private matter. It's a matter of budget. It means that someone who manages escaped the hinges, ”said Valeriu Iftime, at Digi Sport.
