Totally worth it. As for the offer from Roberto Ales to Monchi. Before becoming sporting director, the offer was for Monchi to be delegado de campo (field manager?) after spending a couple of years on the job, he got the sporting director role teaming up with Joaquin Caparros and that was when we got promoted to 1st division to then qualified for UEFA. We couldn’t be happier for Roberto Ales for having trusted this guy.
I must admit I didn’t really know much about this, I became a Sevilla fan around 2006, before that they were the pompous yoyo club with the boring White kit.
This was a really good read, and I’ve learnt a little more about our clubs history today.
yoyo club?? I am afraid you are talking about a different club… wearing a green and white kit
lol
I’m talking about Sevilla in the late 90s, early 2000s when they kept getting relegated and promoted.

As you can see, SFC got relegated only 3 times. I am sorry but that didn’t make us a yoyo team during the 90s, early 2000s.
Certainly that period in 1996/97 - 2001/02 here in England would make the club appear like a yoyo club.
Not really sure why you are contesting how I felt as a teenager over 20 years ago. I already said I became a Sevilla fan in 2006.
Haha - I mean there is only one yo yo club in Sevilla. And they are getting their ass beat in Bilbao right now.
Things going well for Pellegrini it would seem. Bilbao picking up some momentum now though.
Not contesting anything mate. Just presenting the facts. Anyway, I’m glad you are a sevilla fan.
Cheers!
Don’t worry. Sevilla!
New episode is up.
Best bet is probably next weekend as I am actually off work for once.
Sevilla host Real Madrid, and my team have our first game back after a month, against arguably the hardest team we will play. We play once a week together, the team we have Selhurst FC, train every week, and play together both Saturday’s and Sunday’s.
I will join one in future. Maybe the Valladolid match at home before Christmas. Will be fun to join and share some thoughts with you guys
Would love to have you.
I will definitely try to be involved in the post Real Madrid one if I can. Need to get clearance from her indoors to watch the game first though.
haha that was funny
