"FC Twente is too big to fall, but it's two for twelve"

FC Twente is in financial difficulty and this keeps the club busy. Technical Director Ted van Leeuwen acknowledges the situation is worrying.

"But Twente also has a lot of supporters and a lot of sponsors, and these people really do everything." A movement started after the relegation. I'm really unknown, almost cult, and that's what we hang on to, "he explains to NOS

Twente and the municipality of Enschede are diametrically opposed. The sponsors are willing to invest 8.5 million euros in the club, but ask the municipality to guarantee seven million euros. However, there is no political support for this, Tubantia writes. "This club is too big to fall," says Van Leeuwen. "But big companies have also fallen, everyone needs to know that it's two to twelve years old."

FC Twente is now looking for new players. Van Leeuwen states that he wants to welcome between eight and ten newcomers against NOS.
