In its statement, the Great Old complains of the role played by Mehdi Bayat, who has, according to the club in antwerp, “campaigned very actively to put an end to the Jupiler Pro League as quickly as possible” because of the pandemic of Covid-19.
“The timing and the manner in which this was done were undeniably in favour of Sporting Charleroi, of which Mr. Medhi Bayat is the director-general,” said Antwerp. “This was done so that the consequences of the sports and financial were important to the other clubs and the whole of belgian football. Such behavior distorts competition and economic competition, and destroys the economic value of the sport. “
