So, we found out today that Espanyol Sporting Director Paco Herrera can't continue living off the glory of helping Rafa Benitez win the Champions League trophy anymore. Instead he
leaves the club he joined
from Liverpool with a bunch of failed negotiations and an inability to close the deal when any deal would have helped the cause. Sure he was faced with an unbalanced lineup, the result of being forced to sell key players in the Summer, and yes with the arrival of a new coach in Pochettino, he was faced with changing his transfer policy on the fly, from bringing in a defensive midfielder to shore up the defense under former coach Mane to bringing in help for their puny strike force, but in the end many of the deals he had proposed in general simply vanished as quickly as they became known. Mateja Kezman was looking for another club in Europe and he would have been a decent short term replacement for Tamudo. Never materialized. Hernan Crespo who we spent considerable time and energy trying to convince to come to Barcelona was never going to leave his beloved adopted country to come to Spain. In the end, for the failure of the squad, and the failed experiment with hiring not only Mane but also Tintin Marquez at the beginning of the year after the squad imploded under Ernesto Valverde, someone up top had to pay and unfortunately it was Paco Herrera who had to pay. A nice man with great principles is what his immediate supervisor described him as, in one of the Barcelona dailies, but if you read between the lines like I did, all that means is that he was never ruthless enough or forceful enough to close the deal. I hope his successor does. Forza Futbol |
