SINGAPORE: Former Valencia CF president Anil Murthy has rebuffed media reports that he was sacked after the release of audio recordings in which he allegedly criticised the club'

after the release of audio recordings in which he allegedly criticised the club's owner Peter Lim, the club's players, and made derogatory comments about English citiesIn a wide-ranging interview with CNA, the Singaporean said that he resigned from his post as club president, something he decided on before the leaked recordings surfaced.

In the leaked audio clips, Mr Murthy allegedly described Liverpool and Newcastle as"shit" cities while also apparently threatening to vilify Valencia players in the media if they forced an exit. Anil Murthy attends a training session at the Paterna Sports City in Paterna on Sep 16, 2019 on the eve of the UEFA Champions League Group H football match between Chelsea and Valencia.

"When you say fan, it is 'aficionado'. A fan you still say 'aficionado'. You say 'un aficionado' it means amateur. He added that the audio clips about his apparent criticism of the cities of Liverpool and Newcastle were"doctored", he added. "It's not the first time, it will not be the last time. Controversy is what sells. The real people who are managing this business know that all this is just nonsense," he said.

"In the streets, people in cars shout at you all kinds of insults. Crossing the road, they shout at you," said Mr Murthy. "If it was not on the streets, it was on social media," he explained, adding that he had to change his mobile phone number every year because of the abuse."When I start a project ... I really like to finish . We went through COVID-19, bringing down the debt and were close to settling things to start building again. And we were getting there," he explained.

"The majority are just tired of these constant battles. Between the ownership, the management, this group, lawsuits, new stadium ... I think the majority of the fans just want to see football and want to win," he said."Communication works best when you're winning. When you are not winning ... nobody wants to know your logic behind why you're selling players because the revenue dropped, you need to balance the books.

Es un mentiroso compulsivo, el peor presidente que jamás tendrá el Valencia CF

😂😂😂😂 He was fired for multiple reasons

This man is a compulsive liar. He canceled a project in aid of childhood cancer, he ordered Mestalla's people to shut up, he drank every day, he frequented whorehouses, he extorted money from players. He doesn't deserve this interview in your newspaper.

The very worst presidente of Valencia history. Peter Lim Go Home.

ciberchenet Yeah, as well as I've decided to sleep in the couch when my wife shouted me to do it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Pinoccio

Former president “Thanks God” Anil Murthy lies one more time, as he always did while he was president. We never bougth his lies and we are so happy not having him anymore, it doesn’t matter if he was sacked or if he resigned. What really matters is that he is no longer with us.

He who is born lying dies lying. Now please, as a journalistic medium, can you interview politicians from Spain so that they can give you their opinion about this man?

Anxiety attack

Un desgraciado de personaje. El peor presidente en la historia del club

También dice que no bebía alcohol y la ginebra la hacía polvo.

Was by far the worse chairman in history. Liar, arrogant, useless... I could continue but you can check the numbers. Lim&Mendes get your dirty hands out of our club, no more shaddy businesses.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

AnilMurthy Speak your hearts out but bottom line is you were fired for your indiscretions and making tasteless remarks on your own players! valenciacf

Que alegría que este personaje se haya ido. Todo sería perfecto si se marchase también Peter Lim.

This man insulted, he laughed, he ordered a stadium to be silenced, he called the racist fans and the entire Valencian society, including his politicians, could not see him since he lied to them repeatedly. I demand many other things from journalists.

Mr. Murthy was the worst president of València CF history. He was rude with the supporters several times, in public and even in the stadium. Insults are not acceptable... But he acted as a satrap, with no values . Bye Mr. Murthy

ciberchenet En valencià, a cascarla ninot!!

This guy has zero credibility, he caused so many problems for valenciacf_en that no one will be able to fix his legacy… LimGoHome

Never come back drunk

ciberchenet Y mis cojones vuelan solos

LimGoHome

This man has been living in our city for many years. No one incident during this time, nevertheless he was disrespectful with fans many times. Now he is trying to justify his behavior. Actually, he is the worst presindent in our history.

Puede contar todo lo que quiera , pero que cuente también las comilonas , las borracheras y las putas , lo que ha ganado bajo manga y lo maleducado que ha sido con la afición y con la ciudad de Valencia LimGoHome

Nefarious president and great servant of Lim. The worst social, economic and sports management we have had in Valencia. He has always behaved in a mocking, arrogant and haughty manner.

We expected no less from a liar. Someone who spent the day drunk, without working for a second. He doesn't even have decency to shut up once they've thrown him away.
