"Official statement: Announcement of the sale of Terrassa FC. The price of the entire shareholding has been set at 1.75 million euros." This statement published by Terrassa FC serves to explain the reality of most professional and semi-professional football clubs in Catalonia: historic entities that were once led by local businessmen, but which in recent years have been forced to sell off, mainly for economic reasons. The rescue has almost always been provided by foreign owners with sufficient capital to buy, but they have not always had the management capacity to refloat them and lead them to a higher level.
