The Güemes Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom4 Oct 2032

Maximiliano Russo has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Güemes can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Boardroom4 Oct 2032

Crisis meeting at Güemes

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Market4 Oct 2032

Gabriel Moretti 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 Güemes can pretend not to have heard.

Squad4 Oct 2032

Tobías Dieni signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Tobías Dieni and Güemes agree another 4 years.

Boardroom4 Oct 2032

$564.3K of the owner's money at Güemes

The shortfall was covered from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be relieved and entitled to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings usually arrive together.

Squad4 Oct 2032

Tomás Oneto in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Güemes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom4 Oct 2032

No signings allowed at Güemes

The manager may talk to whoever he likes and may pay nobody. A squad survives a window like this by borrowing, by promoting, and by hoping the injuries land somewhere else.

Squad4 Oct 2032

Words at Güemes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolás Juárez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad4 Oct 2032

Tomás Oneto 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match18 Sep 2032

Chastening afternoon for Güemes

A 0‑3 beating by Quilmes was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market20 Sep 2032

Franco Paz asks to leave Güemes

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad20 Sep 2032

Tempers go at Güemes

Gianluca Pugliese was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings20 Sep 2032

Gianluca Pugliese ran the middle of the pitch — 6.84

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 11 combined actions and a mark of 6.84, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Boardroom20 Sep 2032

The Güemes debt reaches $21.3M

Football clubs borrow; that is not the story. Borrowing more than the facility allows is, because from here it is the owner's money or somebody else's decision, and neither of those belongs to the board.

Boardroom20 Sep 2032

Nobody left the Güemes dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad20 Sep 2032

Juan Martín Campos falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad20 Sep 2032

Gianfranco Baier has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Güemes will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad20 Sep 2032

Güemes pick somebody else ahead of Nicolás Juárez

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
