The owner of the shares of “Loco” (Pd) Hristo Krusharski came out with a position on what is happening in the club. It comes a day after that of a candidate for his successor, Ivan Pashov, who accused him of telling lies.
Here is Krusharski’s position:
“It has already been a month and a half since that moment when I decided to stop financing PFC Lokomotiv. During this period, I did not receive a single official offer to part with the club’s shares. I would like to emphasize that such they accept statements through the media. When we use them as an intermediary, we get a show, not a good and profitable business. Subsequently, they offered in a verbal conversation, not money, this is not serious for me.
They also want to audit the club. A whole range of documents were requested, and in fact a large number of them are public, published in the commercial register and anyone can see them. For the rest of the documents, in order not to export inside information, I asked for a confidentiality agreement to be signed, and there is still no development in this aspect.
This is the truth at the moment and I owe it mainly to those who try to suggest that I have almost drained the club, although they themselves are aware that there has been no greater transparency in the finances of the company in any previous period.
It is important for me to see a person who has the financial means to support PFC Lokomotiv (Plovdiv). When I see how much money is put on the table, I will say whether I am willing to sell the stock or not. Those who accuse me of greed and thin accounts know me poorly. Many such things have been done in my life, but always on my back.
I have invested a lot in the club, and I have given over 1 million BGN for the pitches in Trakia. To this day, all the money I have received and invested has remained only and only in the club! If someone calls this embezzlement or theft, then it is simply throwing mud on the name of “Locomotive” Let someone literate come and see the actual things that are documented, unlike what I found in the club.
Time is running out, but every day it gets worse for the club. The persistent Hristo Bonev managed to convince me to continue financing the children’s and youth school. However, the children are not to blame for anything in this situation and should not be the victims. Their talent will sooner or later lead them to a place in the first team if given the right attitude and support.
I observe and follow the team’s matches, and again it struck me that quite a few of our players, especially the younger ones, are downright run down. This can also be detrimental to their development as footballers and should not be allowed. People need to realize that the best investment is in those who grew up with the “black and white” idea.
I hope very soon that a new person will be found to head the club, have the financial ability to support it and the management experience to lead it. The time for big talk is over, urgent action is needed, I am open to dialogue and negotiation, but I will not tolerate blackmail or slander. It’s time for some to realize that their treatment of former investors best illustrates what future investors can expect. And who would want to give their money where a thief will take it after a while?!
The bad thing is that for decades, some in and around the club never understood that you don’t spit in an old well, because you never know when you will have to drink water from it again. They may not be believed, but it can always get worse, and it seems to me that the rock has already been pushed to the bottom. To stop it, someone will have to make a sacrifice, I already know what it’s like to be under it and get trampled. I endured a lot, but everything has its limits.
I am also hurt by the losses, but all I can do is help the children.
The others don’t deserve it!
Hristo Krusharski”
