Toppserien-klubben Røa i stor økonomisk krise – trenger millionbeløp på to dager
Røa Fotball Elite er i kritisk pengenød og må ha inn 2 millioner kroner for å overleve etter helgen.
Det avslørte styreleder Harald Nickelsen til TV 2 før fredagens kamp mot Vålerenga.
– Status er at vi sliter. Da får vi skylde på oss selv. Vi har ikke vært flinke nok til å nå ut med budskapet vårt, sa Nickelsen.
Det ble i sommer kjent at Røa slet økonomisk.
«Klubben står nå uten tilstrekkelig støtte fra sponsorer, investorer og næringsliv til å møte kravene som stilles til videre satsing på øverste nivå», het det i en pressemelding.
Nickelsen sier at styret skal ta en avgjørelse om fremtiden på søndag. Han er klar på at den eneste utveien kan bli å finne en klubb som kan ta over lisensen.
– På Røa har vi ikke noe næringsliv, vi har noen butikker som også lever fra hånd til munn. Vi må nok dessverre kaste inn håndkleet ser det ut som, med mindre det dukket opp et par millioner fra oven i løpet av helgen, sa Nickelsen. (NTB)
