Güemes put Daniel Colombo on notice
The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Gianfranco Baier puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Güemes, and it is not being withdrawn.

Santiago Sala 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.

The Walter Juárez question follows Güemes around

Fernando Godoy is doing the arithmetic
The table has started to be checked before the results are in, and that is always the tell. Nobody at Güemes says the word out loud, and everybody in the building is thinking it.

Maico Quiroz 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 Güemes, and both men came out saying it was fine.
