No licence yet for TOP Oss and Den Bosch

05 July 2002

The Dutch FA (KNVB) have rejected Top Oss' and FC Den Bosch's application for a licence for next season. There are still question marks concerning the clubs' financial situation but they will be appealing against the decision. TOP Oss were on the edge of bankruptcy and only a massive effort has prevented them from going bust. Chairman Paul Lansaat expects that his club will be granted a licence once the KNVB have examined the 'books' in order to see how the club managed to achieve a sound budget for next year. 
FC Den Bosch have been given three weeks to clear certain debts they still owe the Dutch inland revenue (tax-authorities) and the players' pension fund before they qualify for a licence. The club is considering the sale of their stadium in order to raise the €1 million Euros needed and they expect to be granted their licence in the next few days.
