La Derecha Diario Tension at Ferro: threats to the management and a sporting and institutional crisis
With the team on the verge of relegation and millions in debt, fans and employees are pointing fingers at the club's management amid a climate of intense discontent
Ferro Carril Oeste is going through one of the most delicate moments in recent years. This Friday, for the match against Colegiales, Verde fans plan to display signs with a threatening message directed at the club's management.
Accompanied by an image of the league standings, the message is clear and reflects the tense atmosphere surrounding the club: "Management: if we get relegated, you'll all end up in the hospital".
The anger regarding the team's performance is evident: the team is coming off a 2-0 loss to Arsenal, making it 10 matches without a win, and is only two points away from the relegation zone with 27 points in Zone A. To make matters worse, everything could get even worse if Alvarado, who has 25 points and a game in hand, manages to win and overtake them.
To make matters worse, the current crisis is not only football-related. On July 28, as part of the club's 121st anniversary, workers, members, and fans marched to the club's headquarters, located on Federico García Lorca Street, in Buenos Aires City.
Among the complaints, they reported delayed salaries (with unpaid bonuses since December) and a debt of 600 million pesos (£1,322,774) with AySA.
With chants such as "everyone must go, not a single one should remain" and "the club belongs to the members", the demonstrators targeted the current management led by Guillermo Bameule, as well as former presidents Daniel Pandolfi and Gabriel Santa María
The current situation is a clear example that the crisis at Ferro is both sporting and institutional.
