You knew the owner was bad when he appointed untested Gary Neville 😂

I remember Valencia kits were selling more than some popular premier league clubs in early 2000’s they had an international fan base

It's actually very sad as a Valencia fan. This club deserves a better owner.

Fun fact: Valencia is one of only three clubs (alongside Stade de Reims and Atletico Madrid) to have played in more than one European Cup/Champions League final without ever having won the trophy.

I remembered Valencia playing so well the UCL final against Bayern. Hope this club can recover and comeback to the glory days.

I've always had a soft sport for Valencia. It once seemed like they might be able to challenge the dominance of the big 2.5 in Spain. I'm sad it never came to pass.

Valencia were for a very long time the 3rd best team in Spain and is still the third most supported Spanish club in Spain. It's really sad to see their downfall. Hope they stay up this season and manage to stay in La Liga for the foreseeable future. It's never nice to see big clubs going down.

I'm a Valencia fan and this is such a good piece! Not easy for foreign media to have such a clear picture of what's going on locally, you love to see it!

That early in 2000’s team was so enjoyable to watch kily Gonzalez, mendieta , zahovic aimar ayala angulo Angloma Cláudio Lopez Gerard. And the terra mítica kit. Playing PES2 on psx1 doing the master league … ah the memories

The Fall of Valencia quite sad. It's gonna end up being like the fall of Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest with all there history.. 😢

When Peter Lim's daughter put on Instagram that they own the club and can do whatever they like with it, I was livid, and I'm not even a Valencia fan. Anyone who would say that about my own club would be thrown out the same day.

Goes to show how much a good owner is necessary for a club to thrive

During the Genius Emery reign, Valencia got Villa, Mata, and Silva. I though, damn they would be better than Rafa Benitez era. Then, all of sudden they blew the team up 😅 They also still have Vicente, Joaquin, Banega, Pablo Hernandez. One of the most exiting offensive team in the world.

Valencia before Simeone's arrival they had the 3rd highest point tally of all time in la Liga. Since the 2000s, 2 LaLigas, 2 Champions League finals (1 lost in penalties to Bayern), won the Europa League, a few Copas del Rey and a regular in European competitions. For a short while Valencia felt like a more attractive option for some players than Barcelona to sign to, having World Class players, but during Mourinho-Guardiola era it felt like they had cemented themself as a valid 3rd place team, as financial issues ramped up, creating a "stagnation" that led to title races being a thing of the past. It kind of reminded me of the Dortmund or Schalke of the Bundesliga, I just hope it doesnt follow through with going down like Schalke did... They had the stadium being built that would have 72k capacity to capitalise on their success and massive fanbase but, as mentioned, now paralised since 2009. Now there is talks of downgrading its design and capacity by like 10-15k and remove the plans for an underground parking lot (which makes the project feel kind of redundant) just to continue the build because obvious the city council has complained about the massive ruins of cement in middle of the beautiful city... An interesting Story is that the Prince of Johor, who basically created the most successful football team in Malaysia and is close to Peter Lim, showed repeated serious intentions of BUYING the club off Lim, watching matches at the stadium and posting about the legacy, history of the club, how beautiful the city is and how he would like to contribute to its success on his Instagram. However, after talks with Lim, the posibility of the takeover seemed to have vanished out of nowhere, either because of the incredibly strict Financial regulations imposed in LaLiga on clubs, making spending very restrictive, specially if these clubs are managing a debt, such as Barcelona or Valencia; or because he was straight up rejected by Lim because he refused to let go of "his asset". I guess thats what the Worst Owners possible for almost 10 years, bad owners prior to Lim, bad dealing with debt plus other financial issues and HORRIBLY intrusive punishing LaLiga financial restrictions by Tebas does to a club that could and should 100% be in Atletico Madrid's position competing alongside them :(

Thank you for this video, it’s terrible how Valencia has been run but it is also a huge shame that so few people outside Spain seem to care (and that those running Spanish football don’t care either)

Valencia have always been my favourite Spanish club when I visited Valencia and were so kind to me

I pray to god they don't get relegated. That club played a major role in my childhood.

They were in the last 16 of UCL just 3 years ago. I was so surprised when I saw them in the relegation zone this season. Sad, like Schalke and Leicester.

The fact that other than Marcelino no manager has been able to halt the problems with the club tells you everything. If your club can go basically a decade with different managers and players and get nowhere then the club is being horribly mismanaged. A shame as I had a soft spot for Valencia, one of those clubs who always seemed on the verge of greatness.

I was at the Real Sociadad game where they had protests and the 19th min whistle blowing whilst visiting Valencia in February. Even though the club is in turmoil on and off the pitch, you could really feel how passionate the fans are, and it's horrible to witness what bad ownership can do to a once great club. Got my fingers crossed for them 🤞

The history-like series of rise & fall is my favourite from Tifo. Incredible content and massive respect for Valencia, they should be a regular top 4. Also would be nice to see a Fall & Fall of Preston(the only former English champions that never played Premier League football and not even top level football since 1961) or a Fall & Rise of Ipswich(who are almost league one champions and things look good since the partnership with Ed Sheeran) or a Fall & possible rise of Sheffield Wednesday(four time English champions, absent from Premier League since 2000) or to go somewhere else from England, a Fall & Fall of Pro Vercelli(the team that has more league titles than Napoli, Fiorentina and Lazio combined, absent from Serie A since before ww2).

The choice of smooth jazz on these videos is exceptional

As a Bayern fan i feel very bad for Valencia fans after the 2001 UCL final because they lost twice in a row. I hope they would win something big in the future ❤

As a València fan I really thank you for your explanatory video about the current situation of the club. The club’s situation is extremely delicated under Peter Lim’s ownership, It really looks like he wants to destroy the club as a, somehow, personal vendetta, Meriton (his company in football businesses) should be renowned worldwide by a company that any team should get involved with, so as Mendes… Anyway, once again thanks for the video, Amunt valencia from 🇮🇪🦇

I remember how much hype there was when Lim first joined. A sleeping giant that was ready to return to the big stage. But so much incompetence and corruption. i remember when Marcelino got sacked, it was the final straw for me. But when they FORCED the captain Parejo out of the club I became competitive disillusioned with any prospect of hope. And now look at us

Awesome video thanks for sharing

Thank you for the video and awareness.

Thanks for sharing this information

Great video 💯

Hey, wonderfull video explaining the situation in Valencia. Just one thing, Mateu alemany is not pronunciated like that, in places were catalan is spoken the NY is the same as the Ñ in spanish. It's a little thing but i noticed it and had to say something. Thanks for everything!!

Great work👌

It is key to mention that the End of the Marcelino era was met with COVID and Lim panic sold all his good players to Villarreal for almost nothing, which is a wound theyve never been able to recover from

Great video

The 19th minute chant has been part of every game for over a year now, both in first and second halves of matches.

Remember following them a lot as my team outside of my main team from my hometown in the 2000's, but then I lost interest around 2009/10, several of the players I liked went away (Villa, Silva) and then the whole debacle around the arena happened. It's a shame, I always looked forward to visit the city and watch a game on Mestalla or the new one.

Thank U this for video

Informative

Nice information

The Nou Mestalla has been being built since 2007, one of the longest builds in history, only Arsenal's Premier League title drought is longer

Great video good content

The season the allowed parejo to leave on a FREE transfer ,it was when I knew this club would soon be relegated and + allot of youth with no experience players close to them

Very informative

super excited

Letting go KangIn Lee (for free wasn't it) seems like another bad decision

My first ever European game was at Valencia and I fell in love. Hate to see them like this and hope they can eventually get Lim out. Such an amazing city

Nicely and very nice

Scarily similar to the situation at Everton..

So amazing 😍

Amazing 😍

I am a Valencia fan and this is such a good piece!

Super video

Awesome 👍👍

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

I am a Valencia fan and this is such a good piece 👏

So amazing

PES 6 Valencia was a brilliant team on PlayStation.

Best info

Slightly unrelated to the video but Valencia is also a beautiful city. Hope the fortunes of the club improve

Excellent

great informatio awesome

The stadium follows the trajectory of a lot of projects in Valencia. The government splashed billions on vanity projects and so little on key infrastructure that it meant children were going to school in storage containers while the City of Arts and sciences was completed. Bankia was the merger of the Caja’s that failed with the financial crisis (Valencia’s being the worst offender) so that refinancing was set to fail as well.

Love Valencia. Really hope they stay up... but what surprises me most in the Lim era is not just 1 bad decision. That's forgivable. Even a few. Its repeatedly just bad move after bad move after bad move. Ferran Torres is another relatively recent departure as well.

Great 👍👍 beautiful game

I didn't work out for Neville, but most people act like he was the only one who struggled at Valencia. The club being in chaos has proven that most managers have struggled and they are now fighting relegation.

Nice video

Amazing

I want to see them out. It would be interesting 🤨

Very interesting

I don't have experience about sports but this video made me crazy to watch and play

Creativity 😍

Fantastic

Great video but why is running at 6 fps?

Perfect 👌

Beautiful

this valencia downfall reminds me a lot of schalke's last 5 years, two elite clubs in their respective leagues now struggling to stay up

So nice

incredible

Worth watching

That's amazing 🤩👏🤩👏🤩👏

excellent

The biggest thing you can criticise Gary Neville for is his silence over Lim and Valencia. He has never spoken out against it despite always claiming the moral high ground on several other controversial topics. He has to use his voice on this.

My favorite Spanish team sad 😞

Cool video

Gooood information🥰👍 champions🏆🏆🏆

The problem is that not only has Peter Lim driven the club into the ground, but it's now to the point that most potential owners wouldn't touch the club with a ten foot pole, considering the debts. They might be stuck with the currently most hated owner in Spain.

crazy fall from grace

Wonderful performance

Very beautiful

Unsurprising that the owner chose Gary Football = Man U for many "football fans" in the part of the world Lim comes from

Nice ❤️

Nice series, Valencia after Brighton. Do alternate between ones on the rise and ones that are not.

very nice 🙂🙂

Nice video good

A Natorious organization thanks for letting us this usefull information

Awesome 😎👍😎👍😎👍

Nice 👍

Iam a huge fan of valancia

Nice 👍👍

The old stadium is great but the new stadium has so much potential. The club has been really downhill because of Lim and it’s insane to see a club of this size fall down so hard while other spanish teams have had good success across Europe

awesome
