I'm ok with swapping 2 Madrid teams for 2 Catalan teams (Gymnastic and Girona)

Is that a real team????

by futbol_bill Sun May 15, 2016 8:25 pm

No it's going to be 2 Asturiano teams (Oviedo and Gijon) likely Alaves (Basque) and Leganes (another Madrid) the other two promoted with Oviedo.

by RealGunner Sun May 15, 2016 8:32 pm

What went wrong with Rayo this season? they generally play good football and manage to stay away from the relegation zone. Paco Jemez was also hyped by la liga fans. Luck ran out?

As an Hey-tafe fan, reported.

Seriously, Getafe really was not making any more sense at this point so them being relegated is probably the best thing for everyone.

by titosantill Sun May 15, 2016 11:27 pm

i don't like getafe being relegated, we had good rapport with them. i like them around to loan players to them. i guess we can focus on sending talent to espanyol to develop

by Harmonica Mon May 16, 2016 12:05 am

6 less gifted points and 10 more gifted goals for Real Madrid. We will take it.

You do realize that Leganes, likely to be promoted, is next door to Getafe!!! Madrid can just as easily establish the relationship with the neighboring team !!!

BUT, I'm baised (also Asturiano), and I'm excited about the return to having two Asturias teams in la liga. Sporting and Real Oviedo!

by windkick Mon May 16, 2016 7:22 pm

Would like Real Oviedo in La Liga but they still got work to do to make it happen. Pretty awesome considering all the financial troubles theyve had and the fact they just got promoted to Liga Adelante

angel torres is a madrid socio and he has been very open in his support for us (i expect a refdrid type comment soon) don't like to see one of our own go through that....even though he handled some things at getafe like the pedro leon issue poorly

by CBarca Mon May 16, 2016 8:40 pm

Personally know someone who is a Real Oviedo fan, so I'm definitely pulling for them

Yeah, I agree with that. The players (a couple of senior players on team) really blew it when they somehow managed to get rid of coach!! They went into a nose dive and went from 3rd (one point behind 2nd and 3 from 1st) to 6th with 3 losses in a row. But they have recovered somewhat, are awesome at home but still weak on road. However it's pretty close to assume Alaves and Leganes will take top two spots and automatically get the first two promotional spots. Oviedo looks the best IMO for the likely next 4 positions that playoff for that one remaining promotional spot. Re the financial problems, they now have a Mexican sugar daddy as principal shareholder.

by windkick Wed May 18, 2016 5:34 am

Yeah, they have one of the richest men on the planet in Carlos Slim. The thing Carlos doesn't really go ham on the spending on clubs ala the other rich owned clubs like PSG/Chelsea/City etc. He pretty much is just there to make sure the club doesn't go belly up, not sure he cares to much about winning titles and shit. I've always liked Real Oviedo, and wish Slim would bank roll them like Malaga were that first season they got new owners (before they realized they didn't know what they were doing and had a fire sell. That one season they actually assembled a solid little team) if they were to get promoted.

Idk, just seems tough. If I had to take a guess I would say Leganes deff goes straight up, with perhaps Alaves or Gimnastic getting the 2nd spot. I could see Zaragoza winning the playoff, they are in pretty good form.

If anyone is interested in the standings. Each club has 4 more game weeks to go before the season ends and the promotion playoff starts.

Windkick, it's nice to see someone interested in my home club! Take a look at the remaining games. You will see that Leganes has the toughest road! I say Alaves will get top spot and Leganes is the one that may fall out from top 2 spots. Nastic also has a difficult remaining schedule so it would surprise me if they could overtake Leganes. In the playoffs, it looks like it will be Nastic, Oviedo, Zaragoza and likely Osasuna. like any playoffs, it is difficult to say who will come out of it. Oviedo has been practically unbeatable at home, all season long so that's a huge advanatage, but on the other side they have been (recently) poor to average on road. Oviedo are the rookies here, so that could possibly play against them, but from what I've seen they are a solid team. such a shame with what happen to the coach, as before he left there was little doubt that they would end up as one of the top two teams.

yea for sure! I love to pay attention to clubs and there histories. I always tend to favor clubs like that that aren't from the top table. What happened with the couch? They sacked him when they were doing good mid season? I think Girona also got new owners btw, kinda crappy last 2 seasons they came SO close to getting promoted and failed both times lol

by halamadrid2 Wed May 18, 2016 5:40 pm

If Denis Suarez leaves to join Barca, I suspect Villarreal will snap Sarabia up as his replacement

by Valkyrja Wed May 18, 2016 5:54 pm

It was about time Sarabia displayed his talents.

Coach just left one day (about 2 months ago) and club accepted his resignation they said for personal reasons! But a cousin of mine who is part of Real Oviedo and was there the day in question said a couple of the more senior players challenged coach in practice the day before. Don't know any facts for sure but those two players were heavily boo'd for several weeks afterwards. team lost 3 in a row afterwards and dropped from 2nd or 3rd to 6th.
