Following AZ and FC Utrecht, Minister Martin van Rijn for Sport is scratching his head about the KNVB’s course of action. He is still waiting for a solid substantiation of the Delta Plan, reports Het Parool.
The Dutch Football Association recently presented the Delta Plan to the government, in which it is requested that compensation be given of up to 140 million euros due to the corona crisis. However, Van Rijn heard nothing after that. ‘The second mistake of director Eric Gudde & co in The Hague,’ Jaap de Groot writes in the newspaper.
“It went wrong earlier when the KNVB dropped an amount of 400 million euros on the Binnenhof,” continues the former sports chief of De Telegraaf. Later Prime Minister Rutte reported that a plan had to be linked to this. After which VVD CEO Klaas Dijkhoff dove into the hole and started saying ‘KNVB come with a plan!’ as a figurehead for the pro section. “
De Groot is critical of the KNVB. He sees that the ‘FOX Sports Eredivisie Comeback’ will start in August, but there is no room for the cup final between FC Utrecht and Feyenoord. ‘The Netherlands is now the exception to the rule in Europe. After Belgium, France and Scotland also stopped the competition, those countries did activate the cup final. ‘
