Suso a contract extension, 1+1 or 2+1 or similar, even as a sub heād do in this economic situation. His contract expires at the end of this season and we wonāt get anything from him anyway.
It will be very hard to keep Dodi, but all the other players may come and go. Iād like to see more of Pascual next season though. Hopefully not in Segunda
If he wants it then we might as well. We canāt keep chopping and changing managers.
One positive about Caparros is he gives youth a chance and that will be important considering right now we not in a good place financially. He also loves the club and his passion is great. It depends on his health and if he wants it long term though.
This summer is big and there needs to be some change. I think the board will stay again for now unfortunately but we need at least some squad changes and a sporting director change.
It going to be tough but we got to just hang in there until major changes occur to try revive this great club. It feels like we part of the walking dead or a sleeping giant but that passion last night was incredible. We have that electric atmosphere and feeling for the badge that hardly any other club has.
I watched this interview also. Suso has been a good player for us over the years and will be missed.
Agree with all your posts. The win last night was something to celebrate but the situation on and off the pitch is nowhere near good enough and does need to be addressed to get this club back to where it once was not so long ago.
I donāt see why Caparros canāt take on the job next season while a rebuild gets underway. At least he has passion and promotes the youth which the club needs. I wonāt hold my breath that the board changes course though and they will probably paper over the cracks and appoint another no hoper and we struggle again. I hope not.
@Shendm92 it might have to be Segunda, both Alvaro & Suso are rumoured to have serious offers from Cadiz for next season.
I donāt think Caparros is the answer. Iām not sure itād be good for him either with his health issues. I could be wrong though, this could be the start of a 3 game winning streak to end the season
One of the other issues is, as a club that buys to sell, itās really difficult to continually replace quality with better or equal quality, especially nowadays when every team who isnāt considered to be a big club is trying the same thing.
Sevilla will be reliant on Victor Orta et al finding another new (French) gem to build the defence around for a year or two before selling them on for a profit. Theyād have to find a new star whoās available for free or on the cheap, which makes it even more difficult. How many of us trust him to do that job?
Great point. With the amount of data that is available now; you canāt simply out work and out scout someone. I think that is why we have had more misses than hits in the last 5 years.
@ChrisLail , have you read the book or seen the movie Moneyball?
Amazing stuff.
Pity that it canāt really work in football as we know it today, especially in the top leagues and to compete with the best. Youād have to be overperforming all the time against the big clubs and itās literally, impossible.
And I agree, as you mentioned⦠back then with a little bit more data and scouting, and some extra info like Monchi had at the time (e.g. Alves etc.), clubs ours or Porto could do wonders. Now you have videos of Brazilians in favela playing and showing their skills, let alone some up and coming prospects in youth clubs.
Clubs will need better data analysts though⦠it would be a huge role for a club if used well.
Now itās money/capital or go home. Very rare cases of constantly competing with the top clubs without a big capital / investment to back it up.
Concerns arose regarding Badeās eligibility, prompting Las Palmas to consider a protest. These questions stemmed from the head injury protocol, which mandates a 6-day absence. However, after review, it was confirmed that Bade was indeed eligible to play. The incident in question was clearly a poke to the eye, not a head injury, thus the 6-day rule did not apply.
Iād definitely be interested to see a breakdown if found. Because I have no idea where that money is going since theyāre spending very little on players, selling a lot and not buying a lot in return, so Iād be curious how it ballooned from ā¬90-ā¬300 million.
