Gică Hagi (60 years old) has problems at Farul Constanța with the payment of utilities at the club, which exploded in the winter months. The bills reach tens of thousands of euros, said Ciprian Marica, a minority shareholder of Dobrogeni. The costs exploded, after, during the competitive break, Farul did its training camp at home, in Constanța, while the rest of the teams went to Antalya – Turkey (10 Superliga teams) and Spain (CFR Cluj).
“Heating and utility costs are fantastic! That’s a lot! They all go up, and for the clubs this expense becomes a burden, frankly. You simply have no facility, no help. Heating the sports base, the lawn…
It is an exaggerated cost, on the order of tens of thousands of euros, 90-100,000 euros. Monthly! Gas alone costs that much, on a sporty base. It’s exaggerated. God forbid! It is enormous for a club from Romania“, declared Ciprian Marica, according to gsp.ro.
Not a few times, Hagi said that for him it is a financial burden to support a club in the first football echelon in Romania. Thus, the “King” is looking for investors. The first income was even Ciprian Marica, who currently owns 10% of the shares.
There were negotiations with the Pavăl brothers, but also with Dan Șucu. The negotiations did not materialize, Hagi wanting to keep control going forward.
Now, Gică Hagi seems tempted to take another step, even to sell the majority of the shares, was the latest information. The announcement was made by the colleague from the shareholding, Ciprian Marica, who has a 10% share.
“Gică Hagi wants to sell a stake, even a majority, but equally, he wants the philosophy and strategy that he formed and built to go forward, under his coordination. On the one hand, it seems normal to me. We need to analyze how this can be done“, Ciprian Marica recently declared for iAMsport.
