History
The oldest club in the Balearic Islands, Mallorca was originally formed by Adolfo Vázquez, a republican engineer, who named the club Junta Directiva del Alfonso XIII FBC after the then king. The first stadium, inaugurated on 25 March, was called the Buenos Aires, with a match against Barcelona (which Barcelona won 8-0). A year later, the club changed its name to Real Sociedad Alfonso XIII, which remained until the club was renamed in 1931, for political reasons, Club Deportivo Mallorca. In 1949 they were granted royal patronage, allowing them to use the Real prefix.
In 2003, Mallorca won the Copa del Rey for the first time. In its history, the team spent 20 seasons in Primera División, 29 in Segunda División, 2 in Segunda División B and 11 in Tercera División.
Ownership and financial difficulties
It was announced on 22 July 2008, that 96% of the club's shares had been purchased for over GBP50 million by controversial English businessman Paul Davidson.[2] In November 2008 it was revealed that Davidson was unable to complete the deal due to lack of finances, raising questions as to whether his interest was little more than a publicity stunt. On the 19th November 2009, the Spanish businessman Mateo Alemany has purchased Real Mallorca from the Marti-Mingarro family.[3] In May 2010, it was announced that the club had applied to the courts to enter voluntary administration with debts estimated between £42.5m and £51.3m.[4] It was announced on 28 June 2010 that a consortium lead by Llorenç Serra Ferrer had bought the club [5] and the sale was completed in July 2010.[6] However due to the poor financial situation at the club, UEFA decided on 22 July 2010 against granting Mallorca the licence to play in the 2010/2011 UEFA Europa League.[7] Despite the off-field upheavals and financial struggles, Mallorca are enjoying their longest stay in the top flight and the 2010-11 will be their 14th consecutive season in La Liga.
