The calendar was drawn this morning, and I must be honest…the end of the season looks rough. Better put things on good footing before the last 5-6 matches. I guess it’s nothing outside the realm of what we see most seasons, but ending on the likes of Villarreal, Athletic, , Cádiz (who shouldn’t be so hard if it wasn’t a derbi of sorts) and then last match day v Barcelona. Fortunately Barca is usually finished with their season and giving up points like they’re candy at a parade. But wouldn’t want to rely on those points if we need them for European quals. I won’t mention the other potential reason you would want points at the end of the season, because it clearly can’t be relevant this season.
9/9 points from first three matches or we fire mendilibar.
joking aside, the fairly soft opening three could/should be a good way to launch the season. bagging some points early, getting into a rhythm, building some confidence could all serve us well.
I’m finally going to make it to a Sevilla game, looking at Las Palmas September 17th. Am I right in thinking, as it’s champions league the week after, it will only be Fri/Sat/Sunday, not Monday?
My reading from some player interviews last season is the Mendi has very little tolerance for wimpiness in physical training. I wouldn’t be surprised if he chose Jerez on purpose for that reason. Or maybe the club is really just THAT TIGHT on money, and the last minute deals in the frying pan hotels were just too good to pass up.
Regarding Marcáo, that is really nothing much of an injury, Just 7-10 days for nothing more than precaution due to his history, but Sevilla should shut up or the press will be watching every twitch he makes and making a story of it. Jordan has said he played half a season injured.
I’m not sure Pedrosa is fit seeing as he didn’t participate in the opening friendly either (another player with history).
How trustworthy of sites do all of you feel “Orgullo de Nervión” and “Vamos mi Sevilla” are?
I saw two articles that caught my eye. There was one about Ramos. But the one that really called my attention was one about an expansion/reconstruction of RSP. Any thoughts on these?
Yeah definitely take the rumours lightly but I still think most are not completely random and are mentioned names or at least circling around the club. Also they post a lot of similar posts.
Gotcha. I was curious, because I knew there have been rumors of stadium renovation/expansion, but with the rumors of debt, I’m not sure that would be happening anytime soon
The stadium thing is definitely on the horizon, but I think most sevillistas at this point are mostly in the camp of “fool me twice”, as these plans have been brewing for many years. I wouldn’t be surprised if Castro popped these rumors back up because of the Board meeting and going to find leverage to show that he’s “on the verge of something big”. I think last time I read a rumor this summer it was construction starting in 2024 or 2025, no? Seems hard to imagine that’s reliable
I think it’s like Y’all alluded to, postering for votes. The stadium deal could be financed outside of the regular day to day assuming they could get a loan and there should be some money from the CVC deal. I still don’t think it happens.
