“Go back 13 million – elitlicensen in danger”
“HIF: ”There will be no spectacular buy” to”
“Helsingborg enlisted home Andreas Granqvist, Markus Holgersson and Rasmus Jönsson in the summer.”
“But financially, the year was hard, the club has gone back to 13 (!) million.”
“– They have a season for the 2019 granted. By 2020, we do not know, but we do not know with any club, ” says Kjell Sahlström, financial manager at the Swedish Football association.”
“Helsingborg won the allsvenskan and is, after a few years in the second highest series, back in the top division.”
“But once there is waiting problem. Helsingborgs Dagblad writes that the club is making a loss on the breathtaking 13 million – and that elitlicensen thus is in danger.”
“It’s not about elitlicensen 2019 – without elitlicensen 2020.”
“– They have been season for the 2019 granted already. By 2020, we do not know, but we do not know with any club, ” says Kjell Sahlström, financial manager at the Swedish Football association.”
“In the annual report for 2017, it was clear that the club went back with 4.3 million. Subsequently, Helsingborg, sweden, in 2018, brought in players like Andreas Granqvist, Markus Holgersson, Rasmus Jönsson and Wanderson and had a brilliant year gamely seen, with advancement to the top flight as a result.”
“Before the season suggested the club to an equity of 5.4 million would be ensured in connection with the year’s financial statements. But the economy has continued to be hacked and now the club has thus gone back 13 million – which means that you are minus five million on equity.”
“In February started Rolf Holmgren to go over the situation in the club. In may, he saw that the HIF would land on minus six million for the whole of 2018. However, a few months ago, he was able to conclude that there will be a result of minus sek 13 million.”
“Funded the purchases externally”
“But it has nothing to with this summer’s signings to make.”
“– It has not to do with it. If Rolf had not taken hold of the work and we would not have known that the forecasts are not consistent, we had never been able to carry out the purchase. There was no from the board first. But the entire cost of the värvningarna funded externally and it meant that we were able to implement them, ” says Helsingborgs IF:s chairman Krister Azelius to Sportbladet.”
“– Otherwise we would not have been able to enlist the home players. We knew that we are very bad at it. The job he did at the beginning of February when it emerged that the forecasts had been provided to the board of directors deviated from it really, the outcome was important work. He noted that in the final report it was minus 13 million kronor in the autumn.”
“the Club must, according to the Swedish football association rules, show a positive shareholders’ equity at the end of the year – otherwise, one must draw up and submit an action plan before 31 march.”
“– It applies the same for all, that they will show zero or positive equity in december 2018. If you do not have it, is there a way at walk. You should establish a plan of action and then think on it and you think it then reasonable out so approves it. Then you should have zero or plus, at the end of 2019, says Kjell Sahlström.”
” It is good that they have the foresight, to take hold of it now.”
“Can they get rid of elitlicensen for 2019?”
” No, they can’t.”
“Krister Azelius comments on the state of the Sportbladet.”
“– Elitlicensen is in danger, but with danger does not mean that we do not get to play in the allsvenskan. Panic is to take in, but elitlicensen is in danger. We get a year in the us, we are confident that we will solve it. For our supporters, sponsors and members we do not want to put ourselves in the seat that we need to go in on a plan of action. Therefore, we work hard and förhoppningsfullt that, already, 2018 has a balance sheet that shows an intact equity, ” says the president.”
“How do you it here?”
” We are fairly advanced in our plan. I have a decent picture of what is needed. It needed a bit of money from different people, but it must be a mix. We do not believe we can find the external money that covers up to the full.”
“does it Mean that there will be so many spelarvärvningar for the season?”
” a few weeks ago, so we decided how spelarbudgeten should be 2019. We have some ongoing negotiations with the contract that go out and so we are looking at acquisitions. But there will be no spectacular buy, it comes to having good sense. The plan is to put a team on the pitch who can defend our top spot.”
