2022: Resignation of President Anil Murthy for threats to the player
In May 2022, Valencia dismissed club president Anil Murthy after the release of scandalous audio recordings in which he threatens team midfielder Carlos Soler, the club's official website said.
On the records, the head of Valencia frankly speaks about the current financial situation of the club, and also speaks poorly of the city leadership.
Just a few weeks ago, the leadership of Valencia published a statement in defense of Anil Murthy, stressing that the media are trying to "distort reality." However, now the club has changed its position, and Sean Bay has been appointed interim president of the club.
"The Board of Directors of FC Valencia wants to discuss recent events that, unfortunately, have affected the club's relations with fans, state bodies and the community. The board would like to clarify that the content of leaked conversations between Anil Murthy and various third parties is the personal opinion of Anil Murthy, and not Valencia, the Spanish club said in a statement.
