Save Real Oviedo!

[leo_ense]

The third division club known for giving the chance to players like Cazorla, Michu and Juan Mata is facing financial ruin. In order to generate funds to avoid liquidation the club is turning to the public and football fans to buy shares and become shareholders.

The club is responsible for some of Spain`s finest exports as Arsenal`s Santi Cazorla, Swansea City`s Michu and Chelsea midfielder, Juan Mata all got their start at this prestigious club.

There is now an effort to raise capital for the club and we at Inside Spanish Football are calling on all lovers of Spanish Football to do whatever they can to help save this club.

We have provided details for those of you who are interested in contributing to this worthwhile cause and encourage everyone to share this with anyone who may be interested in contributing as well.

The window to purchase share begins on November 3rd to November 17th and the minimum price per share is €10.75.
Contributions can be made by bank transfer to an account set up through the club at Bank of Santander – Account Number: 0049 4325 61 2410004177
For those abroad who would like to contribute by wire transfer- IBAN: ES 96 0049 4325 6124 1000 4177
By purchasing shares, you will also become a shareholder of the club and be entitled to attend the General Shareholder`s meeting held annually by the club.

Again, this is a tremendous cause and a chance to give something back to help save a club that had produced so much talent and brought immeasurable enjoyment to our lives.

More information can be found at RealOviedo.es and we have provided a link to the club`s official statement concerning their recapitalization here.

Update: The club has announced that a PayPal account is in the works for those who wish to purchase shares from abroad and how those purchasing shares will receive confirmation.

“Real Oviedo would send you by post the titles of the shares that make you own part of the Club. You would just need to email your address info@realoviedo.es with your PayPal or Bank transfer transaction number and Real Oviedo will send your shares to your front door.”

According to Sid Lowe, when the club does active their PayPal account, the price per share will be a “fraction” more (€11.50) due to the comissions paid to PayPal, but not enough to deter you from contributing as much as you can!

All of those purchasing share will in NO way assume any of the responsibility for any future debts that may occur with the club, but there is no future montary gain, either.

Update 02/10/2012 9:53pm:

Real Oviedo have announced that all those who purchase shares on Saturday, will also be invited to attend Saturday evening`s match against Real Madrid ‘C’, free of charge! Incredible opportunity to visit the beautiful stadium and see two magnificent teams, all free of charge! The reasons to contribute are overwhelming and the club is doing everything possible to reward shareholders for their support!

Update 02/10/2012 10:21pm:

Hopefully the word goes around and people in a position to contribute can do so.

Can't the king of Spain do something like what he did with Real?

Sid Lowe has been tweeting and retweeting like crazy urging people to buy shares.

Apparently Cazorla, Michu, Mata, Raul and Adrian Lopez already bought lots of shares.

I might just have to buy some....why not?!

 

[darkgunner]

Maybe Arsenal should buy shares and then we can get first dibs on the best prospects.

 

[Wouterus]

Interesting. I have to say it's quite tempting to buy a few shares, although it is probably a waste of money.

Because you have better things to do with your money than donating them to an obscure Spanish club.

maybe some of those players who are products of their system can sacrifice a few pounds from the tens of thousands they earn each week to help save them...

Decent club, would much rather see them in La Liga than the likes of Zaragoza.

I bought a few shares. I used to like them, and they have manufactured talent over the years.

They've been a bit all over the place the past decade, hopefully they come back and by being owned by the fans are able to turn it around.
