The 12 de Junio Herald
Boardroom27 Sep 2032
Pressure builds in the 12 de Junio boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Supporters organise against the 12 de Junio board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.
Market27 Sep 2032
Fabio González 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 12 de Junio can pretend not to have heard.
Squad27 Sep 2032
At 20, Antonio Acosta is already the best thing here
An average of 7.10 in a first team he is several years too young for. 12 de Junio have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Words exchanged at 12 de Junio
Francisco Campo Mina 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 dugout27 Sep 2032
No hiding place for Giuliano Peralta
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Giuliano Peralta, and the manager let it.
Market27 Sep 2032
Still no signature from Romario Hernández
3 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what 12 de Junio could get for him.
The dugout27 Sep 2032
Sebastián Ferrari 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 12 de Junio, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Squad27 Sep 2032
Pablo Romero has settled at 12 de Junio
The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.
In brief
- The dugout Fabio González keeps his manager's vote
- Squad The training reports on Ramon Gimenez are not good
