Написах следната чернова като писмо за УЕФА. Ще помоля за вашето мнение, критика, допълнение и т.н. Всякакви доказателства, дати и други явни безчинства които съм пропуснал биха били от полза.
Нищо не губим ако го пратим, а ако случайно му обърнат внимание - има шанс да се намесят.
To whom it may concern:
My name is _________ __________ and I am football fan from the country of Bulgaria. As such, I feel obliged to bring to your attention the footballing crime being committed right now in my beloved nation by the Bulgarian Football Union with the direct involvement of the country's Sports Minister Krasen Kalev and Prime Minister Boyko Borisov.
As our continent’s governing body and the institution that regulates the actions of all football unions in Europe, I truly hope you do your due diligence in the matter and investigate the clear, obvious, and insulting crimes which aim at side-stepping a debt worth over 20 million euros and giving a certain club an unfair sporting advantage. The nature of the events that have unfolded since June of 2015, go against everything UEFA and FIFA stand for and bring direct financial losses to tens of different individuals and institutions, including the country in the form of unpaid taxes. Worst of all, the crimes set a precedent that can be followed with good conscience by all other clubs and teach our children that unfairness and behind-the-scenes deals are not only allowed, but are the proper way of doing things.
Without further ado, here is a list of actions and events that have been unfolding since last year. Please note that they are not necessarily in chronological order and everything can be easily verified:
PFC CSKA Sofia entered into administration - illegal actions by the board of directors
In June of 2015, PFC CSKA Sofia bankrupted and were denied a license to participate in our top division - the Bulgarian “A” Group due to their inability to pay off their debt, which last month was officially announced to be 24 million euros.
The club was kicked out to the amateur leagues, but allowed to play in the second lowest division, “V” Grupa, instead of the “A-regional” grupa.
The club was unofficially taken over by Grisha Ganchev - the long time owner of PFC Litex Lovech and whose son was still the owner of the club. It is unofficial simply because his name does not figure in the register, but he is the one who paid the players’ wages and the club’s expenses. He held multiple meetings with the club’s fans at their stadium to rally them behind him.
PFC CSKA’s players were under contract with Ganchev’s firm, Litex Commerce, paid large wages and were, in practice, professional footballers. How can an amateur club under administration and virtually no income support former national team players?
As the club entered into administration, a syndicate named Dora Mileva was agreed on by the creditors to run the club’s affairs while investigating the club’s finances. During her time at the club, she announced the following actions by the board of directors to the general public. They would
Take financial decisions behind her back, which is illegal.
Decline a sponsorship deal worth 30,000 leva per month from Efbet
Accept a sponsorship deal from Ganchev owned Petrol for 800 leva per month
For the second leg of the club’s Bulgarian Cup semi-final against PFC Beroe with an expected and subsequent sellout, they priced the tickets at 1 lev, essentially missing the opportunity of great financial gains.
Decline her access to important accounting documents, which is illegal.
Took out and destroyed a large number of documents, which is illegal.
Through those actions, they have done everything possible to bring the club into bankruptcy and essentially liquidate it
Match Fixing
PFC CSKA won the Bulgarian Cup but the way the draw was made and the games played need to go under investigation
As an amateur team, they did not meet a professional team until the semi-finals
The two-legged semi-final against PFC Beroe should be investigated for the lack of energy and effort from the Beroe players. A quick look at their effort in a league game against PFC Levski Sofia just three days prior to the semi-final’s first leg shows a huge contrast in their display. An investigation for a fixed game should be under way!
Both PFC CSKA and PFC Litex played in the Bulgarian Cup tournament, while being owned by the members of the same family. This conflict of interest was not taken into account by the Bulgarian Football Union.
PFC Litex Lovech - expulsion from the top division, change of name, colors, and headquarters
Parallel to those events, PFC Litex Lovech, owned by Grisha Ganchev’s son only on paper, left the pitch in a match against PFC Levski Sofia in December, four days after a cup quarter-final with extremely questionable refereeing.
Those actions led to their automatic expulsion from the league and, by rule, their relegation to the Bulgarian “B” Group for the 2016/17 season
In June of 2016, PFC Litex Lovech was acquired by a consortium owning FC Chavdar Etropole. Grisha Ganchev was part of the consortium and essentially acquired his own club from his son for free. The deal needs to be investigated due to the unrealized financial worth of the club, thus bypassing the payment of any taxes, and its importance to the economy of the Lovech region
A few days later, that new hybrid changed their name to FC CSKA-Sofia 1948
Upon the completion of the season, all of PFC CSKA’s players were disbanded and most signed with the newly formed FC CSKA-Sofia 1948
On June 30th 2016, FC CSKA-Sofia 1948 were officially recognized as the successors of PFC Litex Lovech by the Bulgarian Football Union, the same club that was expelled from the league and does not have the right to play in the top division
The new hybrid FC CSKA-Sofia 1948 changed their colors from orange to red, the same colors as those of PFC CSKA, changed their headquarters from Lovech to Sofia, and are trying to gain access to play at CSKA’s stadium - st. “Bulgarska Armia.”
They are, through the media and their direct control of the official website of PFC CSKA, presenting themselves as the original CSKA. By doing this, and having the club’s fans recognize them as the new CSKA, they are essentially continuing its existence without having to pay the large accumulated debt
The vast majority of CSKA’s fan clubs have already announced their allegiance to the new hybrid, recognizing it as the authentic CSKA
On July 1st, 2016 in an interview, Grisha Ganchev officially stated that the new hybrid is the authentic CSKA and that there is nothing “Litex” in it, while at the same time the club’s U19 team applied for the UEFA U19 Champions League as the U19 team of PFC Litex Lovech won the the Bulgarian U19 League last season. Paradox.
Government involvement
On June 30th, 2016 after the new hybrid was accepted in the Bulgarian newly formed top division, the new hybrid’s board of directors officially thanked the Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and the Sports Minister Krasen Kalev for their help and support in establishing the club
The New Top Divison - “First League” - giving an unfair advantage to four clubs over many others; breaking the Union’s own rules
The Bulgarian Football Union officially announced changes to the Bulgarian Football League with immediate effect, contrary to their own rules which state that all changes need to be made one year in advance, increasing the league’s teams from 10 to 14
Licenses to participate in the newly formed league were granted to the 9 remaining clubs from the “A” grupa from the previous season, the winner of “B” grupa and automatically gaining promotion - PFC Dunav Ruse, the 3rd place FC Lokomotiv Gorna Orhiavotisa, the 8th placed FC Sozopol, the 12th placed FC Neftohimic, and, you guessed it, the newly formed hybrid FC CSKA-Sofia 1948.
There is no explanation as to why exactly those teams were chosen to participate in the newly formed league and others weren’t.
There is no explanation as to why the newly formed hybrid, recognized as the direct successor of PFC Litex Lovech, were given a license to play in the top division as they were expelled during the 2015/16 season
Conclusion
As you can see, there are multiple crimes being committed by many different parties, with no action being taken by the Bulgarian Judicial Courts due to the apparent umbrella from the country’s government. From blatant financial crimes, to media manipulation of the public, to gaining an unfair advantage, to setting a dangerous precedent for the future, I firmly believe this case requires UEFA’s utmost attention. What is truly scary about the situation, is the fact that all evidence described in this letter was made visible to the public, but we have no idea what has remained hidden from us.
I truly hope that you will at least glance at the described situation, as that would be enough to prove my words. UEFA’s own reputation is at stake and it needs to monitor this situation closer than ever.
Best regards,
