According to Radio Marca, Valencia legend Fernando Gómez Colomer discussed the club's current situation, expressing the view that the majority shareholder should have left long ago.

Fernando Gómez Colomer stated on the program that he is concerned about Valencia's current situation. The team has faced similar difficulties at the start of seasons before, but has managed to turn things around. However, this time not only are results poor, but the team's performance is far from ideal, and players are showing signs of negativity and despair, not performing at the required level.

Without a change in ownership, the present and future look bleak.

Fernando stated directly that the club's current dire situation stems from poor management decisions. Seven years ago, Valencia had just won the Copa del Rey and reached the Champions League two years in a row, but then sacked Marcelino. Now such prospects seem very distant.

Fernando said: "Everyone expected the majority shareholder to take this club, which had many financial problems, and turn it around. Everyone thought there would be major investments, and the team would gradually return to its former position. Marcelino won the Copa del Rey and reached the Champions League two years in a row. Professionals who come here will understand what they need to do, and it's better to demand less and speak less publicly, because everyone knows that if you raise your voice even slightly, you could be sacked. It's a shame, because both investment and revenue have dried up, followed by social, economic, and sporting problems. The majority shareholder of Valencia should have left long ago, because now there is nothing. The situation is getting worse, and it doesn't look like there's a clear, comprehensive solution."

Corbalan under pressure.

The team's sporting decline has also drawn attention to Carlos Corbalan. Although he only recently extended his contract for two years last summer, if results don't improve, his time as coach is numbered. Valencia sits bottom after the first four matches.

Fernando said: "The club has always supported him. I don't like it when coaches are sacked, but that's how football works. Beyond the results, the feeling isn't good either. You can see the team is very negative, slowly giving up, especially when things go badly… I think the next 2-3 matches will be telling, but news of an ultimatum is one of the most damaging messages for a team."

Rodrigo Hernández misspoke, but has already apologized.

In recent hours, Valencia was also marred by comments from Rodrigo Hernández from the bench during Valencia's match against Barcelona. He called Corbalan's players "too poor"—a remark for which the Spanish captain later apologized. Fernando Gómez Colomer also understood his perspective to some extent.

Fernando said: "He didn't mean to criticize or speak badly about his teammates, but it's better to keep your mouth shut when saying such things, or say them only in the dressing room. When you say 'these people are too poor,' you're judging your own team's players. Everyone understands his apology and knows it wasn't malicious criticism, but ultimately he was speaking about Valencia players. Many fans here liked what he said because they felt he was speaking the truth, but some things are better said in private. We understand and forgive him, but it's better if this doesn't happen again."
