Valencia proved they are a force to be feared next season in the last round. they looked stronger as a team with the most beautiful team performance. hats off to coach heena, for the wonderful job he has done. thank you players for the effort and making us fans to start believing in the team. A very special and all the more deserving one is the current vice chairman Bassaam. He has proved to be walking in the footsteps of his father Adeel. We are getting to see the Valencia we saw under Adeel and his son is proving us it all!! keep it up VP!!

The comment from "fan" seems to be one from a Senior Management Personnel. And just for the records Adeel led the club to bankruptcy due to his short sighted policies and failure to make the club self sufficient. Despite his long term at the helm he could not bring any financial stability to the club instead relied on donations and begging form funds from sources. That this policy would not last for ever was inevitable. Debts kept on piling. Lessons has to be learnt and hopefully his son or whoever lead the club will learn from it.

How is that finishing fifth in an eight team competition mean that Valencia is going to be a force to be feared next season? This is why the team has not progressed during the last few years. The season has just ended and now they are going to a force next year? Is there going to be an allaadin lamp? Just rub it up and lo behold Valencia is going to be king next year? Come on. Don't start bragging, there is a lot of hard work to be done to go further. Keep working and let the football do the talking.
