Valencia have bought f***ing s*** players, says ex-president

Former Valencia president Paco Roig has launched a stinging attack on the club's administration, accusing those in charge of squandering money on sub-standard players.

The Spanish giants are currently battling against relegation to the second-tier, as they sit level on points with 18th-placed Sporting Gijon in the winter break.

Cesare Prandelli, meanwhile, became the third Che coach to be sacked or resign during 2016 alone when he threw in the towel in December, leaving the club mired in chaos.

Roig focused his criticisms on Valencia sporting director Suso Garcia Pitarch, while he also had some choice words for Gary Neville's ill-fated spell on the bench.
