UTA Arad, a team on the 3rd place in the Superliga after the first 5 stages, entered a preventive concordat, the last step before insolvency.
UTA Arad has a good start to the season, ticking no less than 3 wins in the first 5 matches. But things are not as good and financially. The club in Arad has debts of 11 million lei, according to special.
UTA Arad came into preventive agreement
The decision of the Aradians to enter into preventive agreement came just a week after Alexandru Meszar, the president of UTA Arad, announced that he would agree to give up the club for free, in exchange for some guarantees.
What does the preventive agreement refer to? It is practically the last step towards insolvency. The debts are not cut as in the case of the insolvency procedure, but they are rescheduled. In the same situation is Ploiești Oil.
Emilian Hulubei, AFAN president, also confirmed that UTA had been in accordance with a preventive agreement. The club in Arad has several lawsuits with the former players.
“UTA has been in a preventive agreement. It is a step before insolvency. Try to resign some debts in a period. I was called this week by FIFPRO to be asked what is happening at UTA, because there are many processes at FIFA.
There are nine processes at FIFA and a few more in Romania, ”said Emilian Hulubei, League Digisport.
Uta Arad play from 21:30 on Dinamo's field. The match on the National Arena will be LiveText on GSP.ro.
The club can be transferred to a group, a person or a company without any money, without financial claims, but based on long -term continuity guarantees in Liga 1 and under better conditions … we are struggling, this is the truth.
We try not to suffer the team, not to suffer the supporters, to have all the conditions and they have them, but there is nothing insured. So, if someone is presented with concrete guarantees that he can take the club in a safer, longer-term form, under better conditions, is given without any claim. We would be very happy to happen, maybe we would come up with something … for a club like UTA and a city like Arad it is difficult to aspire to do not know what goals. UTA is a brand of the city, and under the financial conditions here it is an achievement that we are for 6 years in Liga 1. We must know our potential, but whenever the club's objective can exceed the ambition of the players and the staff.
We are happy for them and we will not stop them. As sponsors we are about last season, from the next match a new sponsor will appear. He returns with us but now has switched to another level
