A – Abdullah Al Thani. The little free time left by his overwhelming tweeting activity was dedicated to destroying Málaga. Absent, capricious, absurd and levitating, he embarrassed Malaguismo as the team sank. Fortunately, he was dismissed from his duties by a court order held by almost all but a handful of genuflecting clappers (and four fingers to spare).
B – BlueBay. Hotel company that owns 49% of Al Thani shares (it is assumed that 96.8%, it is assumed…). In 2013-14 he managed the club while the sheikh was turning with his balls from social networks. The rest, you already know. Many unknowns about his mission in the present and future of the club. In addition, the judicial administrator, José María Muñoz, claims 2.65 million euros for a 2013 advertising agreement that he considers not satisfied. There is carpet to lift.
C – Calero. The excellent right-back was seriously injured after an unfortunate clash with Sadiq in a match against Almería. Grade II sprain of the medial lateral ligament of the left knee and a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament of the same joint. The whole season is lost. For this reason, Málaga has signed Alexander González.
CH – Chavarría. An incredible case. He rejected imposing offers, especially from France, to come to Malaga. If the blue and white team is promoted, they will stay another year. If he stays in Second (which is the objective) he will have to talk. Tremendous professional.
D – Dani Barrio. The Asturian has found a new binary rotation even with Juan Soriano in goal. Every two games plays one. As long as it goes well, nothing to say to the coach, Sergio Pellicer.
E – ERE. One of the toughest decisions made by the judicial administrator, José María Muñoz. 40 employees and eight soccer players received the notification of the Employment Regulation File. The terrible thing is that either that was done or the club would disappear. Such is the damage that the sheikh's management has done.
F – Málaga Club de Fútbol Foundation. Crown jewel. He earned respect despite Al Thani and grew in presence and prestige with actions in schools or helping the neediest groups. As the visible head, the great Sebastián Fernández Reyes, ‘Basti’.
G – Scrooge. How do we rate the wages that the Al Thani received, 1,400,000 euros for not hitting the water? Or use the club as a personal bank for “the sheikh's chiquitos' gastillos” in high-end cars, hotels of a thousand and one stars and live like gods? The judge claims 8.5 million euros as bail. More or less what could be polished for his dissipated life. Or just life?
H – Hicham. A high-speed Moroccan who could be a genius if he had more luck with injuries and a better head to know that he is privileged with the conditions he treasures.
J – José María Muñoz. He is the judicial administrator of Malaga. He was appointed by the judge, María Ángeles Ruiz, with a single mission: to save the club institutionally, better manage and re-float it in sports. Never has a decision from the courts been so applauded. If he had not decided to transfer Antoñín to Granada, possibly, the club would not have even finished the season. Let's see if someone explains it to the ‘signing sheikh’.
K – Kellyan. The Alicante goalkeeper is the only player that Málaga has on loan to another club. It is the Ibiza. Such was the destruction of Al Thani that, almost, not even players can give Malaga.
L – Luis Muñoz. He had almost everything agreed with Elche. But the club from Elche did not renew Pacheta and the new coach, Almirón, did not seem to enter through the eye. He stayed with gallons at La Rosaleda. Much more is expected of him.
M – Manolo Gaspar. If it is not for the judicial administrator, Malaga would have as sports director a German named Olaf Rebbe who is now at PAOK in Thessaloniki. It has managed to build a competitive workforce with only 2.1 million euros. A football man, he dominates the national market and Second B, with only three collaborators and no scouts for Spain. Much credit. Monchi is your reference.
N – Nasser and Nayef Al Thani. Time has passed and no one has been able to explain to us what was the function of these two lively sons of sheikh (translation: sons of dad). We still have Nasser's Instagram on our retina. While Málaga bled to death, he posted on his social networks a festive image with a racetrack and tea showing how much he cared about the club. What could go wrong?
Ñ - Ñíguez. Aaron, Saúl Ñíguez's brother. He could not make his debut for Málaga because he was unfortunately injured. Until recently he has been training with the people of Malaga, but he has returned to Elche because Malaga, with only 18 professional chips, cannot have more. If not for that, it would have been incorporated. He has signed for a team in the area: La Nucia, from Segunda B.
O – Orlando Sá. The renowned Portuguese striker came to La Rosaleda stiff after a year and a half of inactivity at Standard de Liege due to a severe injury. Little by little it takes minutes and sensations. He is a very loved footballer, especially by young people.
P – Pacheco. This footballer has been one of the eight footballers affected by the ERE. The truth is that his career has not shone as expected when, at just 12 years old, Urbano took him to Barcelona. He has been through many teams and has achieved no less than four promotions. He is without equipment. At 29 he has a career left. But you must take advantage of it because time flies.
Q – Quintana. It fell. Player loaned by Cádiz without a purchase option, although Manuel Vizcaíno, president of the yellow team, would give priority to the Malagueños if they showed interest when the commitment ends. The Huelva native, from Isla Cristina, has connected wonderfully with the Malaga philosophy. Signing that Manolo Gaspar negotiated with the president of Cadiz, Manuel Vizcaíno, a tough negotiator. Hence the merit.
R – Rolón. It has been one of the most frustrating signings in the history of Malaga. Al Thani demonstrated, not to change, his infallible clinical eye, imposing his arrival by paying 3.2 million euros in the summer of 2017. In all this time he has played only 628 minutes. Another round business of the Qatari crack.
S – Shaheen. Richard James by name. Happily, former general manager of Málaga. A sinister character who did a lot of damage in the short time he was in the offices of La Rosaleda. Lover jogging in the same stadium, the ham and his employees taking his repellent spaniel for a walk, this unique American, who earned 300,000 from the wing and lived in a luxurious attic near Larios street paid by the club, he was about to place none other than Luis Fernández on the bench. Who and how would have paid that extra expense?
T – Tete Morente. One of the best deals Málaga has done. He arrived from Lugo without paying a transfer and went to Elche for 500,000 euros. He did not like anything at the club because he was counting on him and the people of Elche paid his clause but … not everything has to be negative.
U – Unit. We must give the sheikh a merit, which finally put an end to almost all Malaguismo: nobody could stand him (except palmero / genuflexo / a de rigueur). With his dismissal, people have united because the stakes are high. If Málaga disappears, we all lose.
V – Víctor Sánchez del Amo. We could say that everything started with him. His ugly and inelegant dismissal by the illustrious Shaheen marked a starting point in the downfall of Al Thani and, of course, the American CEO. What happened to him, an attack on privacy, you don't want anyone.
W – Winners. We dedicate this section to the Association of Small Shareholders (APA) that with its persistence in denouncing the alleged outrages of Mr. Al Thani and his idle children, laid the first stone to achieve the dreamed exit of this unpopular family of tweeters.
Contains the X – Alexander González. Substitute for the injured Iván Calero. Shining management of the sports management for its speed and efficiency (how you can see that the horrible president / tweeter is no longer there to torpedo, delay and annoy!). The Venezuelan comes with desire after a bad experience in the Bucharest Dímano where, unfortunately, he ran into another Al Thani of life, on top of Spain and Granada.
Y – Yanis Rahmani. An interesting case. He was born in France to an Algerian father and a Portuguese mother. That is why you have these three passports. He also grew up in Sestao and was forged in the Athletic quarry. Javier Clemente could call him to play for the Basque Country team. A bargain. Málaga has a purchase option valued at one million euros. A great player. It will not be easy for you to stay at La Rosaleda.
Z – Zafarrancho. “Orderly sequence of activities aimed at leaving a boat, facility or room ready and ready to carry out a specific task.” In colloquial language it means “general cleaning”. The receivers still have work to do.
Special appendix: Sergio Pellicer. He made his debut on January 14 against Ponferradina when joining Málaga was almost a nuisance and a nuisance. He galvanized the environment, gave tranquility, did not marginalize anyone, opted for the quarry, focused his players on the sports side and kept them away from controversies. He has 41 games (39 in the League and two in the Cup). And he has grown as a coach.
