Hell, he looks up every day to a sky full of green and white vultures waiting to swoop.<BR/><BR/>Soler - yeah.<BR/><BR/>Levante's presi (Salvador?) - I'm thinking he's using the money he saves from not paying his players to dig escape tunnels, lest the multitudes take up arms against him.<BR/><BR/>Macua (Athletic Bilbao) - Maybe it's not fair to finger him at this club, but the whole directorship (who rotate the presidency amongst themselves) have essentially fucked everything up beyond repair. The club is going down... maybe not this year, maybe not next, but it has become an unalterable, irresistible certainty.<BR/><BR/>Laporta (Barcelona) - the do-nothing president. Well, nothing presidential, anyway. He likes buying playthings, though.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01865169000663014928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283321.post-53169982140751500852008-01-15T20:14:00.000+01:002008-01-15T20:14:00.000+01:00Speaking of owners....La Liga needs Dimitri Piterman back!<BR/><BR/>Or maybe not.Nolannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283321.post-65157858961524312852008-01-15T19:03:00.000+01:002008-01-15T19:03:00.000+01:00Tim, excellent stuff on Murcia....made my day! I just read this on the very same day our local rag "La Verdad" (no joke) ran an article about how crap Pablo Garcia has been recently. Sadly this is quite typical....they take pleasure in belittling anything to do with their local side.<BR/><BR/>I have to dismiss saturdays thrashing by Barcelona....I though we were holding our own reasonably well, and that Baiano's miss when 1 on 1 with Valdez was the key moment. I think we do have a good chance of staying up... economically sound, gates averaging 25,000, and undoubtedly the best new stadium in the country (and recently the nosiest support - especially when compared to the Nou Camp that was like a funeral).<BR/><BR/>So glad that our centenary song has grown on you......you really listened more than once?Er Guirinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283321.post-19228984670349278722008-01-15T16:00:00.000+01:002008-01-15T16:00:00.000+01:00Some Valencia stuff stored up for next time round hopefully.<BR/><BR/>And as for the presidents...most of them are comedy gold for the Spanish football writers. But if one had to go, it would be Soler. <BR/><BR/>Angry just thinking about him.Tim Stannardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09639523265644818184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283321.post-46340471154012290652008-01-15T15:48:00.000+01:002008-01-15T15:48:00.000+01:00Hey Tim, wow, absolutely nothing what so ever about Valencia?<BR/><BR/>Any updates on Albelda's law case?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283321.post-35846740661143813512008-01-15T15:02:00.000+01:002008-01-15T15:02:00.000+01:00Well I suppose this is what happens when overrated pansies win some stuff while their lucky time is on. Next up, Traore asking his coach the same thing, CL winner and all...<BR/><BR/>Hilarity between the Depor keepers anyway. Would have been fun to see the third choice one pull off a couple of stunners and keep the out, but I don't think one can get everything.<BR/><BR/>By the way Tim, if you had to make an ordered list of Presidents in La Liga you would like to see back of, like forever, what would it be? Makes better story than the managerial sack list :)Fingers on the keyboardnoreply@blogger.com
