Juan Ignatius Martinez will sit this Saturday on the Real Zaragoza bench in the match in front of Las Palmass in La Romareda. In these moments of major crisis, this is the only certainty in a aragonese club victim of a huge power void, propitiated by an endless and calamitous sales process and for him confrontation between the owners, and where all the ‘principals’ – directors and executives – are sheltered in silence. And without anyone daring to make or propose relevant decisions, so that later they are not held responsible for anything.
From the last statement of the sports corporation, announcing an imminent sale, only the still sports director Torrecillawhose fate seems linked to that of the coach, has gone out to speak in public and it was to once again influence the happy ointment. The Zaragoza is found in freefall, four points from relegation, and in the midst of a climate of enormous social response against property, but here the only one who shows his face twice a week is JIMwhose figure is already more than questioned and whose future will be decided this Saturday or, at most, in two days.
His numbers -four points in eight games- are of sudden dismissal, but Juan Ignacio Martínez resist because La Romareda still he has not asked his departure in chorus, because Torrecilla knows that he too would have to leave and because the mismanagement that has been governing the club’s destinies prevents the urgent from being faced. and the urgent the most urgent, is prevent Real Zaragoza from finishing in the First RFEF, which would mean a lethal step and would liquidate suddenly any put optioneither to Orlegi Groupwhich is studying a second purchase proposal, after the Alierta family did not accept the first, which contemplated a payment of the shares in two years and of course the permanence in Second, or at american backgroundwhose name has not come to light and with which the directors and minority owners Yarza and Forcén have been negotiating.
That he Saragossa finished as soon as possible in the best hands and that the capital inflow and a new managementwithout any of the current managers, catapult the institution is the important thing and in what all the zaragocismo cries out, but what urgent is to apply to the Aragonese team keep the category. And that goes through a reaction that should not last more than a day. A change of coach doesn’t guarantee anything, but continuing much longer with a winless JIM would be one more act of irresponsibility.
The week is presented, then, decisive for JIMalthough it is not expected that any of the first positions of Real Zaragoza will call a press conference to go out and support the coach or to point out any aspect of the sale process. Silence continues as a parapet.
