“You don’t work for Billy Álvarez anymore. And we also want the title “, the message, blunt and authoritative, was the one who extended the new directive of Blue Cross a Jaime Ordiales. The words correspond to the conditions that the new leaders have set for the sports director to continue in his position.
As a result of the different institutional problems in which the team has been immersed, the manager has been the visible face of the club since Billy Álvarez was accused of embezzlement. Oblivious to the whole network of corruption that weighs on the old boss, Ordiales’ management has been overshadowed by an issue that has been a source of frustration in the history of La Maquina: the signings.
In the second tournament since his arrival on the club’s organization chart, Ordiales has been characterized by the sobriety with which he executes each of his actions. And unlike its predecessor, Ricardo Peláez, the money you have spent on reinforcements is little; however, the results are not in sight, and there are more questions than answers to several of his bets.

The ‘tandem’ between Peláez and Ricardo Caixinha, about 80 million were spent on transfers, while Ordiales has invested ‘just’ a total of 17.9 million. Despite the modest figure compared to the past, the dividends that these operations have left are few: Luis Romo, Sebastián Jurado, Pablo Ceppelini, Ignacio Rivero, Joaquín Martínez, Lucas Passerini and Jonathan Borja have been the players that the manager has brought. .
Of all, only Luis Romo has been considered by Robert Dante Siboldi for the title. Jury is still waiting for their moment, Borja and Ceppelini are on the starting ramp, few remember Castro, Passerini are at Necaxa, and the last two to arrive, ‘Nacho’ and Shaggy, seem like two ‘ghost’ signings: nobody knows where are they.
