Spain are in crisis right now. Money is not the only problem here, buli does not have a good coverage. Players dont have the "star" image as much as epl and la liga has. Cardiff city gets more money from TV than Bayern. Less TV coverage, less over hyping implies less money required.
Well, much of the Los Che fans still prefer him to Barragán. His departure is attributed to his fall-out with Mendez, who pretty much now runs all of VAL's transfers. Mendez was looking to ship him off to Beşiktaş last summer, to which JP resisted. The latter consequently switched allegiance to a diff agency, and VAL manager Nuno (mendez' puppet) froze him out. With 6 months left on his contract, the club decided to release him.
He must be rusty given he hasn't played the last few months. Should be a decent signing otherwise. The VAL fans did liken him to Dani Alves..
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
