The Spanish Football Club Run By The Russian Mafia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 кві 2021
- At a time when the owners and chairmen of the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona could quite legitimately be accused of running their football clubs like cartels, now seems like an apt time to take a look at Marbella FC.
A little known team from a very well-known part of Spain, Marbella FC are a team with a fascinating - if not particularly successful - past.
So in this short documentary, HITC Sevens examines Marbella FC's past and present, their alleged links to the Russian mafia, and the extent of one of football's darkest secrets. - Спорт
Here before he changes the title to "Alleged Russian Mafia"
It's a misnomer
he might be made an offer he cant refuse
Not sure that's playing it safe enough, how about "The alleged Spanish alleged football club allegedly run by the alleged Russian Mafia. Or so I hear..."?
“so called russian mafia”
@@Hammondish so called video about an alleged video involving an alleged spherical object
It seems like Alfie has only scratched the surface of insane stories from the Segunda B.
What’s the most insane lol
@@billyhalliday284 Deportivo A Coruna is one given their past success, the Athletic Bilbao affiliates like Portugalete have ties to the now-defunct ETA (Basque Marxist separatist group), a decade ago this was where Eibar was before back to back promotions.
The lower leagues of Spainish football are wild
@@billyhalliday284 oh and Piqué owns a team from Andorra that plays in that category
Granero must have been really good to have been in real madrid's first team aged 13
“Hill is a man often described as colourful, outspoken and charismatic by his supporters and as a bigoted, corrupt crook; who was responsible for the death of 58 people; by his detractors.”
Genius 😂
The guy who owned Chester when we went under was, allegadly, a scouse gangster. Or a legitimate buisnesman who just happpened to be good friend to lots of known drug dealers.
Maybe he wasn't a gangster himself but maybe he was just friend with his dealers.
He’s a little wiener
As a spanish myself i can tell you the first word that comes to mind when thinking about marbella is mafia basically
a mi los rusos con su yates y cochazos
Isn't Marbella full of tourists mainly British and Germans!
@@yaqubsalim5563 That would be Mallorca
@@fran1514 que basicamente es lo mismo 😂
@@seekeroftruth9200 yea Mallorca is famous also but I've been to Torre Molinos if I spelled that correctly which is next to Marbella and I remember people talking about a lot of British and German tourists who have vacation homes there! I believe it's like that all over the Southern European coast!
Awesome video Alfie, really enjoy these documentaries on obscure teams! However, it is time I began to ask for a video. I have a simple request, a similar documentary, but on Monarcas Morelia. They were my boyhood club, but last year they were...well completely disolved and moved like a football team in America. It really damaged my relationship with Mexican football, so it’d be an honor to see my former mid table Mexican club spotlighted on a TOP TIER UA-cam channel. Don’t worry I’m prepared to wait as it appears the queue is a bit long around here😆
arriba la monarquia!💛❤️
@@carlosv3452 por siempre 🥲 ❤️💛
The "Costa del Sol" is where the mafia bosses from around the world come to live in their holiday mansions. Marbella is the best example of this...
I have a feeling you are the famous raul tamudo the espanyol legendary striker.

These are my favourite type of HITC videos! 🙌🙌

Чай!
Only a Pole would fall for that Chessnut.
Bump..
This series is easily my most favorite on UA-cam right now
Great video.. fearless, which is more than can be said for virtually any other football analysis provider
I appreciate your journalisms fam 💯
These mini documentaries are by far my favorite videos! Would love it if you found something perfect for a mini series or feature length
Wow. This is Alfie at his best. A real deep dive into a story I knew nothing about but didn’t know how much I needed in my life.
I would love if one day you made a video about 'Mad Vlad' at Hearts. He owned Ukio Bankas, a Lithuanian bank, acquired Fc Kaunas, then Hearts, embezzled millions from his bank and used some of it to buy hearts champions league level players, sacked a manager when we were top of the league because he wanted to pick the team. Bankrupted his own bank, then ran away to russia. Fast forward and he has just appeared out of hiding, hes living literally in a submarine in Siberia I think.
Well worth a look he is mental.
Should add he almost destroyed Hearts, at one point days from non existence, who survived by a scheme that helped the fans buy the club
Always have a listen to your videos. Cool stuff!
It’s a good video
I didn’t know that
A video on AFC Wimbledon story in a documentary type video will be good pls
Great report, man.
Love these type of videos
This channel is so good

Hi. Guy from Málaga currently living in Marbella here. Not even a football fan, but this was extremely well researched, accurate (as far as I can tell) and informative.
Great job, man.
Marbella is a fucked up place. Gil made it the most corrupt city in Spain (which is saying a lot). Hopefully it will get better soon, but it still remains Europe's mobs retiring paradise.
Most underrated football channel
Great video...wonder who Europol were targeting in the UK.
awesome content
Literally my own local club in Bulgaria is owned by the russian mafia lol. The team is called Cherno More Varna and its owned by TIM.
Back in 2008-09.
I was living in Germany. My bulgarian married neighbour put on a bet with me that if Cherno More passes she will have her way with me. Yeah....
That Same TIM From Italy?
They sound shit
@Lion She DID have her way...
bit Bulgarian nationals in so called Russian mafia lots come from sof i a what is your point ?
Day 12:Please make a video about DINAMO BUCHAREST...The story of our club is a hard one...And you telling it can really help us a lot,our club is clinging to survival,and we raised 2 milion euros to try to save the club...
Dinamo is one of the biggest clubs in Eastern Europe,it has 18 league titles and 13 domestic cup titles...It reached the Champions League Semi Final in 1984 after beating the holders of the trophy Hamburg...In the Semi Final they played against the great Liverpool side of the 80's...After the 89 revolution the club lost one of their greatest generation after their players where bought off by western clubs,similar to what happened to the clubs in East Germany that you already talked about...Corruption and neglect brought this giant of romanian football to it s knees...At the moment Dinamo is preety much the ONLY true historical side in Romania's top division...This team stood afloat thanks only to it's fans...In the summer some new spanish chiarman came and bought the club,brought players on huge contracts and left without paying them...The players just broke the contracts and the club accumulated even more debt...If the fans did not step in and accumulated 2 milion euros the club would have been dissolved...For anyone watching outside of Eastern Europe it might be hard to understand it s value...If u re English imagine Liverpool being dissolved...This club is OUR Liverpool,and it's stadium OUR cathedral...With all the fears of relegation,players leaving and managers coming in and leaving the club still managed to fight it's way to a Romanian cup Semi Final...Please,make one video about our story too...
Fairwell HITC Sevens. It was good knowing you.

Great work as always. Check out El Pionero on HBO.
As someone playing for Marbella academy and living in the city Marbella is beautiful but there are some dodgy pieces of shits around
Damn, that Marbella stadium looks sick with that backdrop..
Anyone interested in this might be keen on looking into ‘operation clean hands’ from Belgium as well.
Thanks for the distinction, i was exactly thinking about Slobodan Petrovic Kosovo's prime minister
"As you can kind of not really see in this appalling photograph"

Please Netflix, hire Alfie to do documentaries like this. Great video mate, you are amazing, this is by far the best football channel in youtube.
An idea for a slightly longer video:

Day 2 of asking for a "what happened to 1860 munchen" video 👏
maybe the case of swiss club neuchatel xamax would be an interesting documentary style video
Why? Just curious.
@@raultamudo160 They were one of the most successful clubs in the 80s but were struggling in the 2000s, then in 2011 a chechen businessman took over ans wanted to change everything, from club name to logo, sign big players and be successful again. only problem, he didnt have the money, failed to pay wages and was arrested. the club went bankrupt only a year after he took over, refounded in like the 6th tier of swiss football and managed to get promoted to the top division last year but are now struggling in the 2nd division. thats the quick summary
@@leolo1613 Holy crap! That's intense
@@raultamudo160 yeah it was, they made like 40 transfer that summer, were on track for a top 4 finish but were forced to stop playing after half the season. bc of that another team got saved who got a 36 (!) point deduction, who them stayed up. swiss football is crazier than one might expect
@@leolo1613 Do you remember a player called Victor Sanchez? He played for your team many many many years ago. He was part of my team for many years(RCD Espanyol)
There should be a film about this starring Ray Winstone.
I thought it was Chelsea at first but then I read "Spanish" 😂
Day 50: 7 best international tournaments ever in your opinion (world cup,euro,etc.)
There was a a tv show on local tv station in Serbia about corruption in lower Spanish leagues
Actually there's some info completely outdated. As some of you probably know, this year the Segunda B is a complete chaos. Right now, Marbella not only didn't manage to compete for a second division promotion, not even a "promotion" to the new format for the third tier, but rather the club will relegate 2 divisions down, falling to the spanish 5th tier for the 2021 2022 season
I'm glad you pull no punches talking about the Mafia and the Middle-Eastern royalty owners, supporters of their clubs must be ashamed to support Blood Money.
Sadly man city fans wont care one bit neither will other fans
@@user-te1le7ck6b That's their problem, if they want to be whores for a Sheik they're free to do so.

Didn’t know Spain had their own Chelsea.
Dude, seriously Roman bought Chelsea after he saw Man u vs Liverpool and thought that he has to contribute something to the beautiful game.

Dispels the myth that Pep doesn’t build teams
@@prometheustv6558 no one says that he doesn’t buy players, only that he has unlimited funds so it’s pretty easy. Ask yourself, who has pep bought that was a steal? Under 50 mil? Foden is the only youth player and only regular under that price.
@@md167 Yeah but it’s not like he bought the Galacticos. A lot of the players he signed were good players but not great players when they came to City and Pep improved them. Like Gundogan, Ederson, Sane, Bernardo, Walker, Dias. He by no means bought a bunch of stars.
@@md167 we bought ederson for under 50 mil
Day 13 asking what happened to Monarcas de Morelia.
I played against Marbella's academy a few times. Good players to be honest.
Can you do a video about Marcos Antonio,the footballer that only plays in friendlies for Nurnberg
Just looked him up on Wikipedia, apart from signing for them and only playing once (not that unusual) is there anything strange happening? It seems he moved on after a season. Does he still play friendly matches these days?
Also you should check out the story of a Brazilian called Kaiser, self proclaimed professional player who never played a game
Watch his debut for Nurnburg and you’ll see why he never play.
This is defo One of the most bizarre comment sections on the platform 😂
i think psg's owner actually kinda cares about football compared to the owners of the big 6 in pl. except abramovich
love your content, except when you muffle and "eat" every last word of each sentence. I couldn't really understand it without closed captions.
could do best xi to play for leyton orient, alzate kane townsend and mason all played for em along w lesser known but still decent players like odubajo bonne and koroma
If Alfie has an "accident" then we'll know who to blame
In this and other worlds,I am only the 3rd liker of this video,good friends!!!:-D
18:45... Granero isn't 23!
Day 93 of saying you should make a video on how individuals become referees and make it to the pro level. I'm currently going through the ranks in the US and think it's more interesting, more difficult, and more complicated then people think.
