Lerche hits out at Colón board over controversial move on members | OneFootball

The decision that Colón’s leadership would make for next Sunday’s match against Ciudad Bolívar continues to spark debate among the club’s members and Sabalero supporters. And in recent hours, the latest to join the controversy was Germán Lerche.

The institution’s former president used his X account to share the article published by UNO Santa Fe, which reports that members must have paid their June dues in order to enter the Brigadier López, even though the match will be played on June 7 and dues are usually not required until the 10th of each month.

Alongside the screenshot of the news story, Lerche wrote a blunt phrase: “The apathy of dinosaurs disconnected from reality.”

A message with clear targets at Colón

Although he did not mention any names, the post was interpreted as direct criticism of the club’s current leadership.

The reference to “dinosaurs” points to the management model that, according to different opposition groups, has remained in place at the institution for years, first under the presidency of José Vignatti and currently with José Alonso at the head of the club.

In addition, the phrase “disconnected from reality” seems to focus on the difficult economic situation many Colón members are going through and on the lack of sensitivity that, according to some supporters, advancing the collection of a membership fee to attend the match implies.

Colón leadership’s argument

The measure would have an economic explanation. After the match against Ciudad Bolívar, Colón will face a long stretch away from Santa Fe. The team will visit Defensores de Belgrano, Chaco For Ever, and Deportivo Madryn, and will not play at home again until July 12 against Central Norte.

For that reason, the leadership would be seeking to secure June’s corresponding income before facing more than a month without activity at the Brigadier López.
