it was! what happened was they fired their first manager of the season (Flores, who I really liked) and brought Koeman. they did win the Copa del Rey, but also had a fun little relegation battle on their hands, which is ridiculous considering the year before they'd come in 4th in the league, and had been in the CL at the start of the season. so.
that, I believe, was the year the board decided to build Valencia's new stadium which is the project that put them so in debt they ended up having to sell DV and DS. (and also stop playing players wages for a while.) because that season was such a shitshow, their was also a lot a lot of locker room drama - no one liked Koeman, no one listened to him, the players didn't get along very well, etc.
I should mention that DV and DS stayed close the whole time though. :D :D
