Squad

Samuel Guzmán out for 37 days

The medical room confirms 37 days on the sidelines for Samuel Guzmán, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom

Wages eat 97% of everything Leones earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Johan Muñoz

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Wages eat 105% of everything Leones earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Santiago Montoya asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Leones put Samuel Guzmán up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Samuel Guzmán may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Boardroom

98% of the income goes out in wages at Leones

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Alejandro Cardona

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Felipe Gómez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Leones, and both men came out saying it was fine.
