Clubs in lower divisions continue with financial difficulties. Mérida's principal creditors (other than their players) are South American clubs who are owed money for transfers. The club is trying to reschedule debts with them arguing that if not they will be forced to liquidate, but they are not having much success, particularly with Brazilian club Madureira. The shareholders of Logroñes have sold out to the liquidator and they are proposing firing at least 35 of their 41 employees, and Deportivo Manchego have ceased to exist.
