The Mar de Fondo Chronicle

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad13 Sep 2032

Words exchanged at Mar de Fondo

Eduardo Perez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout13 Sep 2032

Lucas Nunez frozen out at Mar de Fondo

This is not rotation. Lucas Nunez has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Mar de Fondo is pretending otherwise.

Squad13 Sep 2032

Thiago Porley 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.

Boardroom13 Sep 2032

No signings allowed at Mar de Fondo

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.

Boardroom13 Sep 2032

Wages eat 108% of everything Mar de Fondo 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.

Market13 Sep 2032

Lucas Nunez is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Mar de Fondo has been clear about where Lucas Nunez stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market13 Sep 2032

Nobody at Mar de Fondo has picked up the phone to Luciano Centurión

4 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The dugout13 Sep 2032

Joaquín Pombo is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Market13 Sep 2032

Still no signature from Luciano Centurión

4 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Mar de Fondo could get for him.

Words at Mar de Fondo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thiago Porley 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.

Boardroom16 Aug 2032

Mar de Fondo cannot sign anybody

The embargo bars a fee being paid for a player, whatever the manager thinks the squad needs. Every rumour printed about this club between now and its lifting is a rumour about a deal that cannot happen.

The dugout16 Aug 2032

No hiding place for Nicolas Pellistri

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nicolas Pellistri, and the manager let it.

Boardroom16 Aug 2032

Wages swallow 125% of the Mar de Fondo income

Every club 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 it has been tried.

Market16 Aug 2032

Mar de Fondo and Tomás Domínguez are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market16 Aug 2032

Gustavo Ramirez placed on the list

Mar de Fondo have made Gustavo Ramirez available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad16 Aug 2032

A season on the outside for Júnior Rocha

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Mar de Fondo has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.
