Anybody wanna buy a Betis?
Wednesday 01 October 2008 11:45
For the past couple of seasons, Betis majority shareholder and imperial overlord Darth de Lopera has been a bit of a tease.
On a number of occasions he has flirted with the idea of selling off his stake – in the non-vampire sense of the world – and swanning out of Seville.
But in the end, De Lopera has played the Goldilocks (as portrayed by a geriatric Christopher Walken) and branded potential new owners as unsuitable to lead Betis out of the 19th Century and into a bright new future of ‘electricity’ and ‘telephonic communication’.
In the past, suitors have been dismissed as being not Betico enough, too Betico, having weird hair, not being Spanish, having funny names, not liking Liberace and having a penchant for obeying tax laws (for legal reasons, La Liga Loca would like to note that some of these excuses have been completely made up).
Liberace: possibly popular in Seville
Over the summer, Betis fans were given their brightest hope yet that the club's reins would be handed to someone slightly sane – a consortium called BSport. Unfortunately, no one has much of a clue who these mysterious folk may be, as they are afraid of coming out of the shadows – perhaps quite literally – until a deal is struck.
Well, they're running out of time. Marca is reporting that unless the t's are dotted and the i's are crossed by Saturday October 4 and bin-bags stuffed with cash are handed over to de Lopera, then the big buy-out is off. In that event, continues Marca, the consortium may have to give Darth Manuel a whopping 10 million Euros in penalty fees.
This is exactly how most Beticos must have been expecting the whole affair to pan out. In one week’s time, they look set to be stuck with the same crumbling stadium, the same gym that hasn’t been updated in 10 years, the same lack of medical facilities that forced Edu to head to Valencia for treatment, and the same owner – albeit one who could be considerably richer.
Meanwhile, for those keeping track of the Barcelona Blame-o-Meter after Saturday’s Catalan catastrophe, the latest news is that the needle is doddering around in as confused a manner as Sarah Palin attempting a paint-by-numbers.
