More on the election

By: Jeremy | Comments 3 Comments

The first person to vote, Eduardo J Lopez, now the ex-president of Newell’s Old Boys was quickly followed by brothers Rafael and Marcelo ‘el Loco’ Bielsa. Yeah, that Loco Bielsa, as in the current coach of the Chilean national team. He also spent most of his playing career with Newell’s as well as [...]

ADIOS LO-EFFIN-PEZ

The results are in and Eduardo Lope$

IS OUT
. Thank you Jesus. Guillermo Lorente secured 63% of the vote, roughly 3900 to 1900. Lopez has already filed a lawsuit challenging the validity of the election, due to fraud. I’m pretty sure he had that up his sleeve all along, but now [...]

Newell’s 3 – 0 Racing

By: Jeremy | Comments 2 Comments

Great game to end the season in fifth place. In a classy move, Fernando Gamboa gave Ariel Zapata the start in the final game of his playing career. In another nice move, Gaboa gave el Pepi the chance to score in his swansong, allowing him to take a penalty. While it was [...]

Score One for Hermes Binner

By: Jeremy | Comments 2 Comments

Well, I thought it was too good to be true. Santa Fe governor and long time member of the Lope$ mafia Hermes Binner has tipped his hand. He is going to allow the opposition list to run for election, in accordance to what judge Ivan Kvasina ordered, but he is requiring all socios [...]

When E J Lopez Speaks, Some People Listen

By: Jeremy | Comments 1 Comment

Seems like Lope$ is beginning to actually like the press. He gave his second interview in a couple of months to a program on Canal 3 there in Rosario.
In a pot calling the kettle black moment, he said the only reason that MoLe gets to run is because of a corrupt member of the [...]

Griffa to Take Back the Inferiores

By: Jeremy | Comments 2 Comments

I saw this commercial in the game and tried to find it on YouTube. Apparently I am not very smart because David found it just fine and put it on his site, which is where I actually found it.

They Came, They Saw, They Sucked Butt.

By: Jeremy | Comments No Comments

Well, I can’t think of any other way to describe it than that. With a makeshift back line and changes in midfield forcing a change in formation, Newell’s was out of sorts from the start and handed struggling San Martin de Tucuman a well deserved 2-0 victory.
So who really cares? We’re out of [...]

Is Lopez really done?

By: Jeremy | Comments 1 Comment

Not only did judge Ivan Kvasina validate the disputed signatures for the opposition, meaning the election is on, but today he (or a group of folks down at his office) decided to relieve the Electoral Board of their duties and it looks like the State will run the election on the 14th. That would [...]

Lope$ gets shot down and Fabbiani wants to stay.

By: Jeremy | Comments No Comments

Well, the court didn’t take too long to veto the decision by the NOB Electoral Board, all of them Lope$ supporters (even the guy not there, who is in jail on charges of ephedrine trafficking). So the elections are back on. Now we’ll just wait and see what Tio Eduardo has up his [...]

Lope$’ strategy

By: Jeremy | Comments 1 Comment

It’s looking more and more like Lope$ will fight a delaying battle. By having the junta disallow three hundred or so signatures because they weren’t paid up to the minute since 2004, and not just the last three months like the judge said, Lope$ is sending the message that he is desperate and willing [...]
