Panevėžio "Ekranas" distributed a public letter about the situation in the club.
Amid various rumors about the club's financial situation, months of unpaid salaries to players, we want to inform FC "Ekranas" fans about the situation in the club.
Yes, there have been some temporary difficulties for objective reasons, but they do not affect either the team's performance and preparation for upcoming important matches, nor the work of the club's administration.
Indeed, the financial situation is worse compared to previous years, which led players like Mantas Savėnas, Ramūnas Radavičius, and Andrius Velička to leave the team. The club wishes the players all the success and never hinders them from choosing what's best in each case.
Can other players also leave the club? The answer - yes and no. It is difficult to answer definitively and accurately. During the season, the team can always be supplemented with talented players, and vice versa: if any of the current "Ekranas" players want to choose an alternative to playing in the Panevėžys team, according to the situation, they are given the opportunity to try their luck elsewhere.
Yes, strong footballers have left the team, but it's not the end of the world. Behind them always awaited others, perhaps less experienced, perhaps younger, but definitely not lacking the desire to prove that they are the best players, worthy of playing in the champions' team.
FC "Ekranas" declared goals at the beginning of the season remain the same, the team aims to win the country's championship for the eighth time and perform as successfully as possible in the UEFA Champions League tournament. We believe that these difficulties are temporary, and the team's supporters will stand by us and help overcome all obstacles that may come in the way of Panevėžio "Ekranas".
