Things are not looking good for KV Oostende and they have to appear before the licensing committee on Friday. They hope for understanding and deferred payment.
From high peaks to deep valleys
It doesn't seem so long ago that KV Oostende had broken into the Belgian football pyramid. First, with Mark Cook's money. After that, he became mainly an athlete under Alexander Pilsen.
Meanwhile, Talent left the Coastal team and relegation to the Professional Challenger League followed. They are not doing well athletically and financially, and it's even worse.
Payment postponement and understanding
KV Oostende has a lot of debts and late payments. For example, a large portion of tax and Social Security contributions still have to be paid. However, there are currently no financial resources to meet these obligations.
Therefore, the club will request a postponement of these payments during the temporary inspection of the Licensing Committee. They hope to understand the situation they are in.
Grab beckons
One of the reasons why KV Oostende is asking for a postponement is because they are busy with the takeover process. There will be three candidates who want to take over the management of the club and make the necessary payments. Naturally, these new acquirers will not make payments until they are sure that they own the club.
KV Oostende therefore requests a postponement from the Licensing Committee until the acquisition is completed. They hope to achieve a breakthrough in the talks soon.
