Paco Roig hits out at Valencia hierarchy: Peter Lim is a thief LaLiga Also criticised Anil Murthy

Former Valencia president Paco Roig has launched a scathing attack on the club's current owner, Peter Lim, and president Anil Murthy.

Roig was president of Los Che between 1994 and 1997, and he claims that the current hierarchy at Mestalla doesn't represent him.

"Lim is a thief who has bought Valencia for free, but no one said anything. I hope the Valencia fans will react once and for all," he told El Temps.

"I would like to know who gets the commissions for each transfer. How the money from player sales is distributed. But no one has got this.

"At the moment, I sit in my seat in the stand. I had two seats in the [director's] box, but the current president, Anil Murthy, stole them from me.

"A previous president had given them to me for my position as ex-president and the 'Indio Gorra [Indian cap]' took them away from me.

"He's a thief. He didn't have the balls to [explain] it to my face.

"The 'Indio Gorra' is the most cynical of all the presidents that we've had, and look what's happened, starting with the traitor Manuel Llorente.

"The 'Indio Gorra' is making life impossible for everyone. Now he's just blaming the Curva Nord.

"It seems strange that the fans are so quiet, that the Valencia supporters haven't revolted against them.

"You could also say that the press has been quite kind.

"But you mustn't play with fire: if the Valencia society starts to turn their back, it will only remain on the field."

Roig also pointed to the fact that Lim doesn't know the club and should sell up if he's not committed enough.

"If they represented me, they would defend Valencia and everything it means much more," he said.

"They don't do anything. Not even defend Marcelino.

"What does someone from Singapore know about football? They do all the important meetings there.

"If he can't come to Valencia because he's so busy, he should sell the club."
