The 2014-15 campaign for Elche was a season of sporting achievement tragically overshadowed by financial disaster. Los Franjiverdes battled hard in La Liga, securing a respectable 13th-place finish and survival on the pitch, six points clear of the automatic relegation spots. Leading the charge was the prolific Brazilian forward Jonathas, whose 14 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on grit. However, the season ended in heartbreak as the club was subsequently and controversially administratively relegated to the Segunda División by the LFP due to long-standing, unresolved tax debts. It was a dark, unforgettable year that remains a painful, unique chapter in the club's history, showcasing the ultimate collapse of off-field stability over on-field effort.
