The lawsuit against Valencia CF dismissed

The commercial court No. 2 has dismissed the lawsuit filled by the Association of the sport of soccer followers against Valencia CF-SAD by the process of expanding the club's social capital, which occurred in June 2009.

Nou Valencia took Valencia CF to court because it think that Valencia share increase wasn't spread thin enough and argue that they left because of false promises by the new leadership.

This is what the foundation on the other hand claims:
The Valencia C.F. Foundation is a non-profit organization with the mission to develop sports, social and cultural projects for the good of the community and on behalf of the Valencia C.F.

The point is that there was a crisis thanks to Soler and Valencia CF was going to bankrupt if it did not extend the shares and so it did. It later turned out that Valencia CF Foundation bought most of the shares or 72.5%.

I don't think its false pretenses, since Soler was basically going to destroy Valencia CF and the shares move saved the club.

Hopefully Nou Valencia people are really "taught" a lesson by someone and stop this craziness, putting the club in danger of destruction by going forward with an appeal to the ruling.

Valencia CF won triangular tournament

Valencia became champion of the triangular tournament held in New Condomina Stadium in Murcia for the victims of the earthquake of Lorca, which was witnessed by 6847 spectators.

Valencia CF which debuted its latest signings, defenders Antonio and Victor Ruiz Barragan, won the trophy in this tournament high, involving three of the teams called to fight for Europe this season, winning 2-0 to Malaga and a goalless draw against Villarreal. In first match of the night, and Villarreal and Malaga tied to one goal each in a game where goals were from Argentine accent. Marco Ruben converted a penalty for Villarreal, with Argentine midfielder Diego getting the equalizer.

Then, Valencia beat Malaga thanks to goals scored by Brazilian Jonas Gonçalves and French Sofiane Feghouli. Finally, Unai Emery matched the regional derby against Villarreal in a clash that was marked by the expulsion of Gonzalo by Aduriz penalty on 16 minutes. Adruiz stepped up to take the penalty himself, but former Valencia and current Villarreal goalkeeper César Sánchez guessed correctly and made the save.

Miguel Brito stays with Valencia CF

Miguel Brito was in negotations over rescinding his contract with Valencia CF for the past few days and the nogotations lasted all the way until the very last hour of the transfer window.

Miguel Brito wanted 3.2 million euros payout for his wages and bonuses or in other words every cent he has following from his contract, but Valencia CF weren't prepared to pay that much money and were hoping to let go of Miguel for no more than 1.5 million euros.

I think this is good news, the new right back signing Antonio even if turns out to be decent will need at least a month to get used to his new surroundings and the type of football Valencia CF play and with the recent injury of Bruno we need Miguel Brito more than ever.

Also when Miguel is in good form he is great on the pitch and ultimately that is whats important.
