Tripero team will not finish collecting payroll/files up to date at the end of the year
The Albia Sur team resumed training yesterday, having lifted the new fitness standards that had been instituted upon their return to training last Thursday. Although the issue of unpaid wages appeared to be resolved by the time of the game against Velez, the players held an internal vote and the possibility of a strike was imposed, as part of the outstanding amount would not be recovered until the beginning of December, which was not an option for some members of the group.
Last Saturday, the parties agreed to a July payment for major contracts, half of August’s salary for interim salaries, and to keep the lowest-earning players in the loop. This last group of football players was paid their September salary. Payment was made on Thursday when the checks were exchanged.
The deal, which Agremiados agreed to, included a check dated Dec. 15 and due in August. However, not everyone accepted the situation, with players asking for a closer payment date. Additionally, the team requested another check on the last day of December, the 28th to be exact, to guarantee payment for September.
Wednesday’s payment was financed by Jorge Reina on the one hand and Usina Tripera on the other, but an agreement was finally reached, with the new management guaranteeing September’s payments to the footballers who were not kept up to date. Either way, players will end the year with a few months less salary.
Although there were no coaches or players from the Argentine Football Federation present at Avast yesterday, the team decided to train as usual, and after a video session they took to the field to perform physical movements and various tactical tasks.
Albiasur president Mariano Cowen had previously spoken to some of the team’s leaders (Nelson Insufran, Gastón Suso and Lucas Castro) and the players decided to lift the enforcement measures, as the December payments were guaranteed.
Although it is not yet certain, up to four lists could be competing in the election on the 29th.
Tripera’s new leadership will take office in January with a complicated financial situation. He will have to make sure he is paid for September and will be responsible for the entire team’s salaries for October and November. Additionally, he is scheduled to take over in December with low income and bonus obligations, in addition to debts owed to employees.
Meanwhile, the new management will have to face an injunction from defender Sporting over the transfer of Matthias Abardo and an injunction to pay court costs over a debt with Claudio Paul Spinelli. The original injunction has now been lifted, but the current bill amounts to $17,000.
As for the debt owed by the club regarding Abardo’s transfer, Gimnasia is limited to only the first installment of $100,000 (plus interest), but the second installment ($120,000) is past due, and there have been suggestions from the Uruguayan club and contrary suggestions from the Tripera leadership regarding the loan of the player to Independiente. Then, with the remaining two installments already expiring in the 2026 calendar, the debt with Defender Sporting reaches $510,000, and Tripero will now own 34.5% of the Uruguayan winger’s passes.
At the same time, another topic for the new coach to address is Juan Manuel Villalba. That’s because, although the player had a great performance at the U-20 World Cup, there was little continuity with the Lobos. If Gimnasia wants that, it will have to take advantage of a $500,000 option for half of the tokens. The “railing” by Villalba himself, the 50% stake in Lezcano, and the eventual sale by Juan Pintado will be the main sources of income for the incoming management team.
The election will be held on Saturday the 29th from 9am to 7pm. It will be held at Calle 4’s headquarters, but it is still unclear whether the four listings will compete. Carlos Anacleto (Usina Tripera), Edgardo Medina (Gimnasia Somos Todos), Daniel Onofri (Arriba Gimnasia), Unir a Gimnasia. The alliance brought together the Legado Gimnasista (Diego Patiño), the Renacimiento Gimnasista (Emmanuel di Loreto), the Alternativa Tripera, and the Somos Gimnasia, but it was not defined. The list includes candidates to replace Mariano Cowen.
