Salvo: "It's an historic opportunity. It could convert Valencia into a financially healthy club."

Salvo: "Lim wants to complete the deal (buying Valencia CF) before the closure of the January transfer window."

Salvo: "Bankia believe that Lim's offer will be very difficult to match, economically, and as a whole."

Salvo: "Lim made an offer which covers everything; buying VCF's debt from Bankia, investing in players and finishing the stadium."

Salvo: "Last Thursday, a multinational company guaranteed us €130m to complete the new stadium. Bankia said no. They want to sell VCF."

Salvo: "In November we met Mr. Lim and he was interested in completing the stadium. He's passionate about football and liked the idea."

Salvo: "The idea is, and has always been, refinancing the debt. We want a long term project. We'll also work on finishing Nou Mestalla."

He's been in the market for a club for a while now, first Liverpool in 2010 and recently Atletico, both clubs rejected his offers.

Valencia president Amadeo Salvo has cleared up any doubts surrounding the takeover of the club by Singaporean businessman Peter Lim.

"Refinancing the club has always been and will continue to be the goal. We travelled around China, where we met with Wanda to talk about the stadium, and around the Middle East and Singapore. On 2nd November we met Mr Lim, we told him about the project and he was interested. Valencia has a great deal of potential".

Salvo was keen to talk up the investment magnate: "Lim is football-mad. In November Bankia [the bank which is Valencia's main creditor] took on a more radical stance. [CEO Luis] Cervera and I explained to Bankia how we would guarantee the refinancing process".

The club's future now appears on much surer footing: "A multinational firm has guaranteed €130 million to finish the stadium – this is the real deal, it's not a sham. I've always said that if we had to sell the club, it had to be for €200-300 million, so the debt would be cleared. I made it clear a venture capital fund wasn't the answer and wouldn't work. We needed someone who wasn't fuelled by speculation".

Salvo has held in-depth talks with Lim: "In light of Bankia's comments, Mr Lim called us and came to Valencia to meet the board and the president and vice-president of the Valencia Foundation. Lim pledged to pay off the debt and create a competitive team by making a major investment. With this offer on the table – one of the two or three biggest takeover bids in football – we had to call Bankia".

The Valencia president also noted that Bankia has until the 15th of January to approve the takeover, as this will give the club enough time to bring in reinforcements before the transfer window closes on the 30th.

Speaking about that, Sweden is known to be the most political correct country in the world. There's a guy here who's the leader of some NGO which are always up in racist topics and wants to ban everything that somehow can be interpreted as racist. There was a candy called Kinapuffar which had the stereotypical chinese picture and he was all mad because of it, called it as some old colonial view of how the "weak" east asians looked like.

Daniel Helldén doesn't realize that women drive cars aswell, or atleast try to...
Speaking also about bad car drivers and since we have just opened up the racist joke door, back to Peter Lim.

I wonder how this will go down

Speaking also about racist jokes, I saw now on the article that Fria Tider actually blogged it... :dielaugh: I'm not suprised at all :D

They should simply said they prioritize ploughing everything as much as possible, without making it a gender inequality issue :pp

Political points to win Osman, can't let go of bringing up the old usual gender inequality to fish some votes, kinda like SD does with immigration issues, got to show them problems everywhere.

Peter Lim isn't an interista though, you're thinking about Erick Thohir, racist fuark!
