Borisov wants Levski fans, not the team

Vasil Bozhkov is a mathematician and is reputed to be an excellent poker player. Obviously he knows how to behave at the table when he has at least one strong card. Paradoxically, “Levski’s” shares turned out to be his most valuable public property.

More than a year ago, Bozhkov returned to football and presented his decision as a momentary whim of “doing something good.” Then “Levski” was in serious condition again, overwhelmed by over BGN 30 million in debt, and the “Georgi Asparuhov” stadium didn’t even have a visor. Bozhkov bet on this letter and began supporting the team to advertise their business. Now “Levski” is the only reason he’s on the table … while personally competing with Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.

The bet with the soccer club turned out to be important. He will not decide the game with Borisov, but it can serve as revenge.

The reason why Levski is such a strong card, of course, is not just the football club itself.

The corporation has no capital. It is practically bankrupt and has no property.

Even the stadium, which does not yet have a visor, is owned by the municipality of Sofia. The big capital is its millions of followers.

It is naive to think that Vasil Bozhkov did not assume that Borisov would reject the actions. The game boss hiding in Dubai knows that he is up against an opponent who has almost all the strong cards.

Borissov can afford distractions or impatience.

Bozhkov has nothing to lose and can play on the bench. This makes him a particularly dangerous opponent with a card like “Levski” in his hands.

The act of endorsing the shares was intended to make Borissov reveal himself further. Now the Prime Minister must take full responsibility for the team. Either by returning the property to Bozhkov or personally appointing an entrepreneur as the owner.

Appearing in the spotlight in well-directed suspense about anticipating actions and to whom he will deliver them, the prime minister was literally featured in his role as “father” of Bulgarian football, which he has played for a long time, but somehow more invisibly, among other administrative tasks. .

As expected, Borissov refused to accept the actions, despite warnings that the club was ten days from bankruptcy.

“This is a frivolous attitude towards the future of the club. The destination is correct.”Levski “to be in the hands of the followersis “, announced Sports Minister Kralev, who echoed Borisov’s message during his personal meeting with “Levski” fans in late January: “Take the actions, guys, and then we’ll see.”.

For two months, the public has been watching the fight in absentia between a prime minister and a gaming boss whose business has been nationalized. What is at stake is the second nationalization of one of the oldest soccer teams in the country, and not just any, but known in the past as the “people’s team”, the one that had the former glory of the disobedient and escaped of official power.

This nostalgic symbolism remains history. What is happening today augurs a different future for the team.

After Borissov refused to take official control of the club, Bozhkov managed to wash his hands. The responsibility for future bankruptcy will no longer be yours. The businessman sent the shares to the only person in the country who has repeatedly shown interest in the “Levski” administration and the opportunity to support the team, albeit with the money from all of us. This is the prime minister.

Without any sarcasm, this was remembered by “messenger” Sasho Dikov. “The majority owner wants to deliver the shares to the prime minister and the sports minister, who have declared their desire to save a teama “Dikov said after the envelope with the shares was rejected outside the doors of the Cabinet.

Therefore, Bozhkov sanctified Borisov as the man who wants to rule “Levski”, but this should happen in the shadows. The prime minister does not want to publicly decide the team’s future. The suspicion is that he wants to gain more control over some of his fans through state alms for the club.

If fans receive the shares of “Levski”, Borisov promises alimony with sponsorship deals and a loan. In this situation, it doesn’t matter who owns the shares and who gives the money. The new “father” in the shadow of “Levski” will be the Prime Minister. This is a much more convenient position than accepting the team’s actions in front of the cameras.

Parliamentary elections are approaching and the expression of great appreciation by some fan organizations for the rescue and maintenance of “Levski” can only benefit the leader of GERB.

It would also benefit from CSKA fans’ gratitude for the stadium and base in Pancherevo. It is important that the Prime Minister is grateful to the people. If possible for a long time.

And some fans can be expected to provide special services if the prosecutor’s version of the beating is credited to journalist Slavi Angelov.

Vasil Bozhkov knows this. His game aims to make Borisov clear to everyone. However, it is clear who will be the culprit if “Levski” goes bankrupt and starts playing in the zonal groups. Or with the license of someone like Litex.
