The merits surrounding the decision to dismiss Gaizka Garitano it is debatable, but the forms are not. The candidate for president who arrived at the Ibaigane chair ready to look into the eyes of anyone who paraded there accumulates one more exit from another club professional without shaking hands and hugging in front of the cameras. Communications via the official website or social networks have become, for a few years now, the usual method to make the full stop official.. Susaeta, Iturraspe, Mikel Rico, Saint Joseph, Beñat, Garitano, Villacampa even.
If even the former board of directors who, after signing up for the debatable goal of promoting the women's record match in San Mamés, said agur to Athletic to occupy an office in the Spanish Football Federation, used the same outlet. Four apparently very heartfelt words in a message with a forced allusion to the greatness of Athletic and agur. Laugh at the rojiblanco feeling.
I have never quite understood the speech of Aitor elizegi. Neither before nor after being president. During, logically, neither. His message is dispersed as the words flow. Those of my gang, sly and ironic they, would roast him every time he opens his mouth with that “pass it clean”.
It has a crumb, not to use another rude term, that to the question about what had changed since his fiery defense of Garitano during the assembly of compromisarians on December 27 until his dismissal shortly after winning Elche on January 3, he answered that nothing. Nothing?
Now, once the coach was fired, many jump on the bandwagon of ‘one of us’. Often happens. There, on the other hand, I am sure that Elizegi has felt, much moreover, the removal of the deriotarra. Football, unfortunately, understands less and less feelings
