In 2015, debts accrued led to Murcia suffering an administrative relegation and recently deceased owner Jesus Samper's shares were sold to a businessman from Extremadura called Raul Moro. He soon sold the right to run the club to a Mexican called Mauricio de la Vega but, when de la Vega exercised his right to purchase, Moro insisted he was still owner and subsequently sold the club to Galvez.
A battle for ownership began: The Administrative Sports Court and Spanish Superior Sports Council ratified that De la Vega was the legal owner, though Galvez was still in possession. This summer, De la Vega said that he would take responsibility for all payments needed if Galvez resigned the following morning. "I am scared that his dark intention is to liquidate the club," De la Vega said of Galvez. But Galvez did not go
Last month Murcia's future took another turn when, claiming "I am not the owner of the club," Galvez revealed he would leave in late November. De la Vega again voiced his claim on ownership, but administration of the club fell into the hands of a group of local figures, described by one local journalist as "technocrats," significant Murcianos seeking a solution, working hand-in-hand with supporters.
