Yesterday morning Club president Miguel Concepción was in the offices of local newspaper La Opinión de Tenerife, to answer fans questions sent in by internet about the up to date goings on in the blue and white club.
Miguel Concepción answered the questions given and tried to be open and honest with the fans. The businessman for La Palma was asked about aspects of the clubs sporting & institutional plans and he then defended his efforts as president of C D Tenerife.
The president of the team commented on the near future of the club. He explained that the club is going to build a team to aspire to return to the first division. That you can never be sure this is what will happen but that the aim of the club is to return to Primera next summer.
Trainer - When he was asked about trainer José Luis Oltra, Miguel Concepción stated that both the team council and the sports director coincided in the thought that it was time for a change in Tenerife and that they wanted to start a new project with many new players and a new training team. Above all the president was clear when he said "Until I have a signed contract nothing is sure, we continue to look to sign a trainer who fulfills the characteristics we are looking for. Don't forget the second division is not finished. There are trainers who are not working and others who will be leaving their jobs when the season is completed.
Youth teams - The fact that several of the members of the team who had come up through the youth teams have left this year was a question from several people. Concepción answered " We plan to continue to promote the youth teams and work with our young players but we also have to respect that there are players who will want to leave Tenerife as they see their future as being better in another team. We will continue to work the way we are at present." In another question he responded "Our aim has always been to support our youth players but the places in the first team have to be filled by the best players we have for the spot. This is what makes the team competitive"
Fans - The maximum boss of CD Tenerife defended his position in the club with comments that the fans supported him and the team. His words included " I know that in a large group of fans there will always be some who do not have this feeling but generally the fans want me to be president."
Finances -When asked about the financial situation the club finds itself in Miguel Concepción revealed that although being relegated has meant that the entity doesn't think they will be able to reduce the debt next year, three years at the highest level will allow the club to reduce the debt to zero. This is partly why the club is going to make the enormous effort to return to the first division as soon as possible. He also discussed the hope that this year the club will be fused with the promotora a separate entity to the club itself.
When asked about Nino the president stated that there were on going negotiations and that he felt they were going well. He repeated that he hoped Nino will finish his career here in Tenerife.
