It is true, it is the third time in history that Athletic has been five years without going to Europe. But the data must be weighed. Before, fewer teams went to Europe. It was more selective. There were decades when only four went. Now there are seven. And yet it is getting harder and harder. Millionaire budgets with access to players from all over the world makes any team dream. Betis and Real Sociedad have played European competition three times in the last five seasons; Villarreal, four.
21st Century Statutes
I imagine that yesterday, at the Euskalduna, the new Club Statutes will have been approved by an absolute majority. I expect no less. It was necessary, the old ones were obsolete. In the next assemblies, it is probable that all the partners, in a universal way, will be able to vote electronically on any matter to be considered. The coat of arms, the flag and the name of the field will also be protected.
