It wasn't the best of mornings for Independiente's star striker Germán Denis. The leading
goalscorer of the Apertura was jogging in a Mar Del Plata park with his team-mates, warming up for
an open training session on the side's first day in the city, when he felt a most unwelcome
sensation in his shorts.
And us English think Newcastle United are a joke team. The pre-season in Argentina continues, and
there's been more mudslinging and attempts to get out at one of the country's biggest clubs - and
this time some of it's even come from the manager himself. OK, you know I'm talking about Racing
because you've read [.
After the initial announcement just over a month ago, the day Racing Club fans had been waiting for
arrived on Monday. Blanquiceleste, the company who ran the club from 2001 until early June, were
signed out of existence by the judges presiding over their case yesterday. Meanwhile, a little to
the west of Avellaneda, in [.
Whilst Argentina's other big clubs got their pre-seasons underway on Thursday, Racing manager
Miguel Micó was rather less pleased with his situation. River and Boca have been engaged in
transfer dealings, Estudiantes have been bitching about their ex manager, Vélez have been
welcoming a new boss and San Lorenzo take to the training pitch with [.
Now personally, I've never paid too much attention to the idea of new year's resolutions (the last
editorial aside, that is). Making promises to yourself which you admit from the start won't be kept
seems rather to be shooting oneself in the foot. Besides which resolutions are always so dull –
why doesn't anyone resolve [.
There's been a lot of booing and hissing up in Victoria, where Leandro Lázzaro's been portrayed,
in his own words, as 'the bad guy in this film.' On Thursday, Lázzaro - who thought all parties
had agreed a transfer to Estudiantes on Wednesday - was still training with Tigre. And there's
another player dispute elsewhere: Adrián [.
Things just don't stop happening at Racing. A new twist in the tale of the club's dreadful present
came into view on Tuesday, as former club legend (and manager) Reinaldo 'Mostaza' Merlo made a
legal petition to have Blanquiceleste S. A., the registered company who currently own the club,
declared bankrupt.
Hold the front page. Minutes before I was going to bed tonight (which I will be doing in, erm, a
few minutes) Olé's website popped up a new front page with the headline 'Chau,
Blanquiceleste'. It was reported here last week that the Governor of Buenos Aires Province had
appointed Héctor García Cuerva as the [.
Olimpo lost their manager on Friday, Gustavo Echaníz stepping down from his charge of the
Bahiense side, whilst Lanús are now starting to plan for life without their most successful
ever boss - Ramón Cabrero has announced he'll leave the club in June. The AFA, meanwhile, have
been hard at work confusing Racing fans with [.
San Martín de San Juan might be in the automatic relegation zone with just three matches left
of the Primera A season, but another high-altitude club with the same name will be in the top
flight in Argentina next season, after San Martín de Tucumán drew 2-2 with Chacarita
Juniors to confirm promotion.
It's an appalling pun I know. But the manager himself is a good one, according to Héctor
García Cuervo, the administrator who chucked Blanquiceleste out on their ears a few weeks ago.
The manager who (eventually) saved Racing from relegation will continue in his post next year.
Meanwhile, Lanús youngster Lautaro Acosta has joined Sevilla, and [.
