In early July, a month away from celebrating their 123rd anniversary, the former champions of Portugal, faced with liquidation, announced that the “special revitalisation plan” they had put together last November had been rejected by the Portuguese football federation: they had failed to provide the necessary tax and social security certificates and guarantees in time.Riddled with debt (they owed €7m (£6.1m) to the construction company entrusted with the development of their stadium), they were so short of money that electricity had been cut off at their Estádio de Bessa in April after they failed to pay their bill.
