Anger at Héroes de Falcón spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.
Boardroom24 Jul 2028
The silence upstairs is getting loud at Héroes de Falcón
Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.
Market24 Jul 2028
Paul Sánchez hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Héroes de Falcón can pretend not to have heard.
Boardroom24 Jul 2028
Deadline passes with 1 signed and 8 gone
That is the business done at Héroes de Falcón until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Gabriel Reyes in a row with a teammate

Match22 Jul 2028
Marítimo de La Guaira take the points off Héroes de Falcón
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout24 Jul 2028
Luis Corredor gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
