I have the impression that quite a big portion of the funding is indeed public money, and if that is the case, how can that be justified? In Denmark, people would NEVER accept that their tax money is spent on huge salaries for athletes. From my perspective it´s very socially irresponsible, but maybe Romanians view it differently.
Look at this:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4968&p=153337&hilit=Public+money#p153337All professional sports in Romania are funded by public money. This is sad and I also don't agree, but in Romania we have bigger problems regarding corruption and most of the people simply don't care about your subject.
I guess CSM has a budget 90% from public money or even more, there is no info. The same for Valcea (even if their president stated something different, I don't trust them at all) and all other teams.
In some words, profesional clubs from all sports are a real mess in Romania. Is like a toy for local authorities and like a "business between friends", used to gain some money from local budget for some of those friends' pockets, if you know what I mean. "They" put their friends in board of the clubs, chosen not for their managerial skills, but because they are members of the party. Everything decided by politics. We have a lot of corruption in our public institutions. They hide everything, nobody knows how exactly they spend money in a team. These information should be public IMO, as long as there are public money. But hey, we are in Romania. Btw, in Denmark sums are shown to public?
In June 2020 we have local election and will be another moment when some teams will disappear and others to (re)born.

Is like a cercle, every 4 years.
