Eredivisie side MVV from the infamous city
of Maastricht where the Euro currency was born, may well have to join the
ranks of the amateurs now that the municipal council have voted not to help

find new funds will surely be revoked.

future at stake |
08 May 2003 |
Eerste Divisie outfit MVV looked set
to lose their professional status and could now well be in their final season after
their president Henk Kesler revealed the club has no future in
Maastricht. The Dutch FA (KNVB) have already refuted their liscence
for next season due to the clubs inability to settle their €1.5 million
Euros debts and with players, coach and staff still waiting for several
months wages .
In an interview in the Dutch provincial daily newspaper 'Dagblad de
Limburger Kessler said "MVV is the only club where the structure is
wrong. "In contrary to clubs like TOP
Oss, FC Twente and FC Utrecht where there's room for a solution. MVV hasn't got a
license, because the club hasn't given any solutions to paying back their
debts."

11 Apr 2003

Players from Eerste Divise side MVV are threatening court
action and will have the club declared bankrupt
unless they are paid their wages by next Tuesday. According to the Dutch
daily newspaper 'De Telegraaf' the players went on strike on Thursday and after
talks with the players union (VVCS) they refused to train. The players union's
president Theo van Seggelen stated in the article "It is high time to put some more pressure on the management of
MVV," The last couple of months the salaries have been paid only with a
lot of difficulties. That must change quickly. The players also have to pay their rent or mortgages. They have the
right to be paid on time."
"It has never happened before that players ask for the bankruptcy of
their club, but we see no other possibility of forcing the board to pay the
wages (in time),"

Dutch FA for MVV |
14 Mar 2003
|
| Eerste
Divisie club MVV, who
were doubting if they would be able to pay their players wages this
month due to their financial crisis, have seen the
Dutch FA (KNVB) come to their assistance by advancing them money for TV
rights. Coach Ron Elsen cancelled training on Monday after the wages
announcement but was convinced that the board would find a solution to
the problem saying "As long as I've worked at MVV, and I've done that for 16 years,
I've always received my salary in time," MVV's general manager
Marcel Franssen added "Thirty families now have their money. That is a relief. But the
end of this month will show another fight," Captain John Mutsaers was
also relieved to hear the news saying "The worries are over for a while. But we wonder if the
club will have a filled cash register at the end of this month. The doubts in the squad are high. And this will take its toll
on the results too. Unrest is never good."

I've always received my salary in time and I have full confidence that the board will work out
something so that we can start with the whole squad on Friday in our own

MVV have been dealt another blow
after Fuat Usta signed a one-year contract with Japanese side Omiya Ardija.
The midfielder is moving to play for coach
Henk Duut's club because he couldn't reach agreement with MVV on a new
deal. Usta has not received any salary for the last 6 months and will be
getting a better wage in Japan at his club. "I would have loved to have
stayed with MVV but they couldn't pay me what I was asking for. On top of
that, despite having played for the club for free during the last half-year,
the difference in what I was asking and what MVV were prepared to pay was
not much at all!"

and trainer Reijners
in conflict |
04
Aug 2002
|
|
MVV and their trainer Roger Reijners have had a
negative exchange of opinions in the provincial neswpaper the 'Limburgs Dagblad'
concerning the early departure of coach and squad from the club's recent
day. The fans were sorely disappointed not to see their team but Reijners
thought it more important to prepare the team for a friendly match than to stay
and make contact with their supporters. "The boys need their rest in order
to prevent any unnecessary injuries occurring and this kind of 'Day'
'is something I can do without"! Club manager Marcel Franssen reacted
furiously in the same paper saying, "The last word has not been spoken. I'm
really angry that all our fans turned up for nothing and I can quite understand
their feeling of being let down! The club has already become alienated from the
town of Maastricht and this incident doesn't help when we are trying to get back
to basics. The one day should have been a real happening for the fans and the
players".

saved by Maastricht council |

| MVV
is safe - at least for the duration of next season! Maastricht municipal
council have decided to subsidise the ailing Eerste Divisie club to the
tune of €450,000 Euros after receiving the news MVV is to be getting a
new professional licence from the Dutch FA (KNVB) for next season. The
council have helped out the town's football club before and the fact that
they've just received the last repayment on the earlier loan was the
deciding factor in persuading them to continue to help out.

side. Maastricht council and a group of new sponsors want to see him

council for a subsidy of €450,000 Euros.

to let Godfrey Nwankpa go! The 23 year-old defender has been on loan from
