Anybody know what link the Pozzo's still have with Granada, if any? I think initially it was mentioned that the Chinese have a majority stake. So do the Pozzo's still have, say 49%?
Allegations of match fixing in the Granada-Las Palmas game near end of last season being reported in Spain...
http://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2016/06/22/576a7606e5fdea8f348b461e.html "Pina hired me and I was €600,000 cash to pay Las Palmas after Granada won," he told Cardena SER. "I can't go into detail [about the threats], but Quique Pina is dangerous." Despite this claim, Guerrero added he expected Pina to deny everything and that he denounced him because he himself has not been paid. Isn't this a bit like buying drugs then going to the police after you discover you have been ripped off into buying baking powder?
We're trying to negotiate with Granada to get Penaranda here this summer: http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2016/06/28/primera/1467141963_454453.html Work permit the biggest barrier to overcome.
Granada will easily stay up under Jemez this season: https://twitter.com/Felipeavr/status/761003748500135936 Superb.
Granada's new signing has tested positive for cocaine apparently. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ew-striker-Jose-Angulo-failed-drugs-test.html
Granada in action this afternoon against Eibar on Sky Sports. Granada lost 2-1 with the final kick of the game.
I was in Granada on Holidays last week - didn't manage to get a game in. However, I was chatting to some Granada fans an apparently we sold the senior team but still have ownership of the Granada B team for one more year. Full control relinquished next summer.
I had read the same. Understandable that the Pozzo's arranged things that way, as Granada B is still a "nursery" for several players who probably couldn't be set in a "friendly" environment (avoiding loans) in a short time. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/granada-cf-b/startseite/verein/21550 Bochnievicz, Estupinan, Mallè, Aias, Aboagye (and probably some others of the group whom I don't know) are all possible good future players and Spain's third tier is a decent training ground for them. Certainly better than Italy's Primavera or your U23 tournements.
LOL, he certainly didn't call headlines like Estupinan and Malle (whom both were in the list of the 100 best U18 in the world), but I have seen him in a friendly Udinese Vs UdinesePrimavera a couple of years ago, where he scored two really good goals for the U18 team. Thus, I still think and hope he'll grow well and will amaze us all, either in Udinese or Watford shirt.
