Boardroom25 Jun 2029

Pressure builds in the Real Avilés boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market25 Jun 2029

Alberto Vaquero 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 Real Avilés can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout25 Jun 2029

Alberto Vaquero frozen out at Real Avilés

This is not rotation. Alberto Vaquero has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Real Avilés is pretending otherwise.

Squad25 Jun 2029

Real Avilés count the cost of losing Luis Alcalde

58 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Transfer targets25 Jun 2029

Richie Dapaah turns down Real Avilés

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Hércules keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad25 Jun 2029

A falling-out at Real Avilés

Diego Martínez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad25 Jun 2029

A row about effort at Real Avilés

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Álvaro Fernández was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets25 Jun 2029

Real Avilés rebuffed over Rubén Sierra

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Granada have kept their man, and Real Avilés go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad25 Jun 2029

Real Avilés lose Héctor Vidal

24 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

In brief

The Real Avilés Post

28 May 2029
From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom28 May 2029

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Real Avilés

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market28 May 2029

Diego Martínez asks to leave Real Avilés

“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.

The dugout28 May 2029

Alberto Vaquero frozen out at Real Avilés

This is not rotation. Alberto Vaquero has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Real Avilés is pretending otherwise.

Squad28 May 2029

Tempers go at Real Avilés

Berto Cayarga 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.

Squad28 May 2029

Álvaro Fernández 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.

Squad28 May 2029

Héctor Vidal out for 54 days

The medical room confirms 54 days on the sidelines for Héctor Vidal, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom28 May 2029

Wages eat 92% of everything Real Avilés 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.

The dugout28 May 2029

Luis Alcalde knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Luis Alcalde trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad28 May 2029

No place for Luís Magalhães in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Real Avilés are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

In brief
