Last-place Deportivo’s financial struggles during its first incarnation in the 1980s should be a warning to the club, writes Martin Whiteley. Source: @RCDeportivo When last season’s Primera Division Femenina was curtailed, Deportivo La Coruna (or Deportivo Abanca, for commercial purposes) — appearing in their first season in the top flight — sat in fourth place. Approaching the midway point this time around, they find themselves propping up the rest of the teams with a measly seven points to their name. At the weekend, the pressure increased on basement Deportivo after a 3-0 defeat by Valencia. The club from the Galicia region is now facing its first real adversity on its second incarnation.
