12/03/2008 - Valencia, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Valencia have dismissed reports that the club is on the verge of bankruptcy following a worsening of their financial situation.
The 2002 and 2004 Spanish champions are reported to be almost $822 million in debt and have failed to agree an emergency rescue package with a local bank.
However, the club's general director Javier Gomez has rubbished suggestions of an impending financial meltdown at the Mestalla.
"I want to state the following: in first place, what is utterly false is that the club is in bankruptcy," he said.
"Secondly, we are working hard to implement a viability plan that will give economic and financial stability to the club and that, obviously, has its difficulties.
"We are working on the economic viability of the club. It's having it's difficulties, as do all businesses. We are working on it and we hope to achieve it."

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
