They made a massive investment to get a new stadium. Just when they started building it the finacial crisis appeared and the construction market crashed. The stadium is still unfinished, so now they have neither money nor a new stadium...
Also most of the club's shares belong to a bank that was bailed out last year and is now under goverment control, so the club has been really butchered by the crisis. Many clubs have been affected by the crisis, but Valencia is probabaly the one that has been most directly affected. It's amazing how they've still managed to play the CL so often all these years... unfortunately for them it doesn't look like they'll be able to exceed expectations forever; they are getting weaker season after season, they will most likely play EL next season, and it won't be easy for them to get into the CL the following years either.
Sad to see this happen, especially to Valencia. Really enjoy watching some of their players play.
