What the tenth break in three months did not seem to do was to crystallize the renewals in a squad whose contracts expire on half of its members in June and in weeks they can negotiate with whoever they want.
Because it’s not just Nico Williams that’s happening. It seems clear that it is a mistake to leave many to the end, like bad students.
By the way, how much weight does the current coach have in these decisions if it is now unknown if he will be the coach next season? This is not the first time this has happened. Then and now, a mistake.
There must be another figure who makes the decisions and the reins to carry out the preparation of the squad for the upcoming campaign. Does the ‘football director’ have enough weight for this, or do these issues pass through Valverde’s filter? It looks like it is.
Someone other than Viandar de la Vera would have completely different approaches and needs for their hypothetical project. Who will bell the cat? The club cannot postpone or leave some arrangements at the risk of what happens in April. Obviously, some are very different from others. We are all clear that renewing the youngest of the Williams must be a priority for the club, regardless of who we coach in the summer of 2024. But, the others?
The game against the stylish team is still far, far away, at least on Monday. The bet, that we don’t come back empty handed. We visit the big surprise of the League, a candidate for Leicester that everyone likes and we want to give fear to the average. But starting Tuesday.
In Montilivi, Athletic will face a Girona team coached admirably by Míchel, a coach who left behind great memories and feelings of a coach with a bright future wherever he goes. Someone who is on the radar for the future with another young coach, Andoni Iraola.
Convenient deal?
Debate arose about the relationship, let’s call it an agreement, with Antiguoko from San Sebastian, and the frequent and habitual jumping of part of its commitments to the Royal Society despite its existence. It would not hurt for Athletic to inform its members about the issues related to their relationship with the agreed clubs, how much they need and their costs. In other words, the existence of said link obligates the signatories to do so. A good first step is to begin to understand these issues. It is also transparent.
If this does not indicate, as it seems, any commitment on the part of the players to jump to Lezama if it is necessary from Ibaigane, it will have all the appearance that we are a ‘useful fool’.
If we are only a funding tool for various Antiguokos and our priority when it comes to access to their players is left at the mercy of parental decisions, it seems that the operation may have little or no interest. Let them explain!
If nothing goes wrong, here in seven days.
