Give tools and demand responsibilities

Can you imagine what Sergio González could have done at Espanyol if Hermoso, David López or Diego Reyes had been able to line up in place of Raíllo, Fuentes and Víctor Álvarez? Where would Jordi Lardín be now if Mariano, Raúl de Tomás, Fede Valverde or Borja Valero could have signed? Does anyone doubt that Rubi would have left for Betis if they had brought him RDT, Embarba and Cabrera in the summer?

In the last five years, Espanyol has cracked down on a good handful of great professionals with a parakeet heart to whom it gave neither the time nor the sufficient tools to develop a sports project to live up to the renewed aspirations of the era. Chen Yansheng. They all ran into the financial limitations of an upward project that sold dreams he couldn’t buy.

The prospect of time and, above all, the resounding failure of this course, highlight the work of some prematurely laid off employees. Projects require time and tools, and none of them had them. Now it’s Rufete’s turn. Since joining the club, Espanyol has invested 75 million euros in signings. An expense that has not had the expected result. His predecessors, Ángel Gómez and Lardín, were fired after investing 24 and 11 million, respectively.

Questioning Alicante is the most logical thing after having been part of a sports area that has led Espanyol to Second. It is up to him to give his face, even if it is in a somewhat masochistic exercise. At the moment he maintains the credit of Chen and a Duran Farré who claims to know who has done what in recent months. That he trusts Rufete leads one to think that, possibly, the Alicante native did not have as much voice in the club as he seemed until now and that he still sees him able to contribute in a new reconstruction project. Inside a club there are many pieces that move the loom. Which of the signings did you request? And what players would he have signed if corporate management had accompanied him and not slowed down?

That Duran Farré has full powers is great news for Espanyol. He is backed by his career as one of the best managers in the league. He knows the club and the business perfectly, and he knows that hiring an opera singer for the Liceu has nothing to do with signing a striker. The challenge that awaits them is not at all easy. Now we can only hope that they can give the right tools to valid people. Only then should they be able to be held accountable.
