'I am not insane,' former Valencia president Anil Murthy told The Straits Times on Friday (June 24) as he defended his record at the Spanish La Liga club and insisted that he had not been sacked. Widespread media reports earlier this month had claimed

He added that the remarks about Lim were misinterpreted as he used the Spanish term"un aficionado" which can be taken to mean amateur, when what he meant to say was that Lim was a big football fan.Death threats

"I made police reports, and they told me these are empty threats. I can accept them as empty threats for myself, but I cannot take the same risk for my family," he said. His decision was reaffirmed by another incident in March when his car was mobbed by fans and denied entry into the Mestalla Stadium ahead of the second leg of the King's Cup semi-final against Athletic Bilbao.While there have been so many inconveniences because of his time at Valencia, Murthy does not regret accepting Lim's invitation in 2017.He readily accepted the apprehension over his lack of football experience prior to taking over, and admitted it was a disadvantage.

On criticisms over the high turnover of coaches - Valencia had five managers in Murthy's five seasons at the club - and players, he felt the player transfers were necessary business dealings, but that they had bad luck with managers. Murthy said he has no hard feelings towards the club, is sure of his good relationship with Lim, and is now focused on spending quality time with his family, after"not having had any holidays in six years".
