“Since Rufete entered, money was no longer spent well”

The Association of Small and Medium Shareholders of Espanyol (APMAE) held a round table on Wednesday with the title ‘Perspectives for the future of Espanyol’, where the possible sale of the Catalan club was discussed and there was no lack of criticism of the management of the sports management.

Two of the speakers, the former blue and white vice president Sergio Oliveró and Roger Guasch, former corporate general manager, agreed to assess the possible sale of the club, an issue that has caused rivers of ink to flow in recent weeks, as an alternative to assess positively. Both endorsed a possible change of ownership.

“I think that Chen will only sell the club to people who like football. and wants to make Espanyol grow. This honors you. If he leaves the future of Espanyol in good hands, the sale will seem good to me,” he said. Olivero. Of the same opinion is Roger Guasch who considers that “Chen Yanseng’s problem is that you cannot communicate with him even in English and you cannot explain your feelings to him directly. I would not rule out a sale and look for a closer project. Of course, we must be grateful to the current president for what he has done.

In a first block of the debate, it was valued President Chen’s management in the six years he has been at the helm of the entity. Both agreed to give a good grade economically, but Guasch threw several poisoned darts against the management of the sports management, specifically against Rufete.

“80 million have been spent on transfers but it has not translated into thinking big. It is true that RDT is giving resultsbut if we make the whole list from what Rufete entered, who was responsible for the transfers, the opportunity to spend well the money that was being generated was left aside. Two or three years have been lost”, he affirmed. Afterwards, he did not hold his tongue by emphasizing that” we can all make mistakes, but if out of ten you are wrong nine you must think that you are wrong too much. The year that the best accounts of Espanyol were presented, we went down to Second. It’s not understood”.
