Former La Liga Side Elche President Francisco Borja Presents Plan To Save Club

Former La Liga side Elche President Francisco Borja presented a plan to "save the club" on Tuesday, according to MUNDO DEPORTIVO. The plan contains six points. The first "calls for the immediate resignation of current President José Sepulcre and all his advisers." Borja was "scheduled to meet with Sepulcre on Wednesday to try to convince him." The second step in Borja's plan is to raise €5M ($5.4M) to resolve the club's debt with the Spanish Football League (LFP). The objective is to "avoid a sanction prohibiting Elche from signing players during the summer." The following step suggested is "an audit of the club's accounts" to learn the club's real debt and proceed to reducing it, "possibly with the entrance of a group of businessmen who would assume this debt" (MUNDO DEPORTIVO, 4/8).
