They saved the club, now they’re bringing it down. “I have to do an examination of my conscience. It’s getting worse”
It has been over three years since the Vistula Kraków began to be ruled by Jakub Błaszczykowski, Jarosław Królewski and Tomasz Jażdżyński. Although, despite the fact that the “White Star” can still be eternally grateful, because in fact, and it was they who saved the club, the situation in which they have saved the sports situation with Reymont is terrible. From the beginning of 2019, there is no league team that played regularly for the harvest, it is not scored by the Vistula.
Recall – at the turn of 2018 and 2019, Wisła is on the verge of bankruptcy. A moment earlier, the Wisła Sports Society, the then owner of the shortened section, after years of inept and increasing debts, managed to sell the “White Star” to Vannie Ly and Mats Hartling. People no one knew anything about.
An attempt to tape the addition to the deal, skidding failures, that the players simply do not spend their money for a while, the Football Club Licensing Committee suspended Wisla P to play in Ekstraklasa. It was terrible.
Knights on a white horse
They appeared in them. Members of the rescue group organization. It was composed of Bogusław Leśnodorski, Rafał Wisłocki, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Piotr Obidziński, Jarosław Królewski and Tomasz Jażdżyński. You always had a job to do in this puzzle. You have to straighten out some legal and legal matters in the club. But how money is needed. For the most urgent times of need, the last three gentlemen lent the Vistula River.
It was four zlotys. In return for the loan, Błaszczykowski, Królewski and Jażdżyński had the right to manage the football section, although it did not yet officially own it. They only became them in April 2020.
The reality is, however, that from January 2019, and today we have March 2022, Błakowski, Królewski and Jażdżyński are responsible for the fate of the Vistula, also surrounded by their colleagues. Piotr Obeliński, who a moment after the change of the medical promotion setting was changed to the new profile of 2020 for the changes of Dawid Błaszczykowski, Jakub’s brother.
The time has already passed that allows for the first conclusions and verifications. How can we control the current work of the top group in the urgent Wisła Kraków? What has improved and what is still too or very bad? Checked.
Financial situation getting better
The helmsman of the White Star ”one should start with“ one thing. At the club management level.
– The debt of the joint is melting away. We can now have a lot of fun in the current mode, and we are cheering for a good turnout – said Dawid Błaszczykowski in or with “sport.tvp.pl”.
- Vistula debt in 2019 – approximately PLN 42 million
- Vistula debt in April 2020 – about PLN 28 million
- Vistula debt in 2021 – approximately PLN 13.5 million
You also need to have another club that in recent months in wholesalers, so you need a selling price with the sale yet. Aschraf El Mahdioui left for EUR 2.4 million to Saudi Al-Taawon, Yaw Yeboah for EUR 1.82 million went to the Columbus Crew. Therefore, the “White Star” gained solid injections in winter. But at the same time, it greatly weakened the quality of the team …
It’s getting worse on the turf
The problem is that a good disposition to reduce the club’s inconvenience of repair to the sports development of the Vistula. When we look at the table that takes into account the score achieved from 2019 to today, i.e. from the moment the Błaszczykowski – Królewski – Jażdżyński trio took power, we will see the “White Star” at the bottom. Of course, counting in production, they played throughout this entire Ekstraklasa period.
In previous seasons, Wisła did not impress, but managed to stay in Ekstraklasa.
- 2018/19 – 9th place
- 2019/20 – 13th place
- 2020/21 – 13th place
Now the situation is very difficult. “White Date”, 11 turns before the end, landed in the Relegation Star. And although there is no loss to a safe position, it is difficult for Wisła to be optimistic. The team has no style, no luck and, fortunately, there aren’t many players, they can make you lucky on the pitch. Losing Yeboah and El Mahdioui looks very painful so far.
What’s more, Wisła finally stopped for a good result in the Polish Cup, but in the quarter-finals she was eliminated with the third division Olimpia Grudziądz. And, let’s be honest, the rival of the fourth rival did not look better in the competition before.
Who is the winner?
The situation became so dangerous that she began to look for winners. And so a few weeks ago the clock. Coach, Adrian Gula Yesterday, Tomasz Pasieczny, the director of the sports club, met a similar fate.
Saying goodbye to Gula can actually be explained somehow. Come on, the Slovak came to Ekstraklasa as a coach with a really solid CV, for over half a year they have not been able to create a team with a visible idea for the game. “White Time Star”, especially in the last one, looks like picked players who don’t quite know what to have.
At the club, taking into account the quite frequent effect of the new broom. But so far Brzęczka is no better under water.
What about Pasieczny? Quite a strange dismissal of a sports director at such a stage in the scene. I dare say that such a decision will help Wisła stay in the last line and how it will contribute to staying in Ekstraklasa. You can wait until the end of the game and then think about it. Now Wisła was the sports director again. He cannot be stopped before the Apiary comes, he is not there now.
Pasieczny did not receive too high a level of trust from the pump. He did not last even a year to build. In fact, he was fully responsible for ONE transfer window. Sacrifice. Fortunately, I started to read the work when the personnel movements were already some of the club’s own. Pasieczny, who has a FIFA Master diploma, was the sports director of Cracovia in the past and was a scout at Arsenal, he had a flight attendant card for Reymont. But, as in Poland, it did not survive to the first corner. The players introduced by him in winter managed to play up to five games.
Wisła Kraków is today one of the best candidates for relegation from Ekstraklasa. Both stewards should get an account card. Are there always other winners?
Glory to the owners of its Vistula, that they have siphoned off on their shoulders and in the last few years in terms of organization and finance, they have sent the “White Star” for execution. But in the end, the most important thing is green turf. And there, since the ownership change, there has been an improvement. On the contrary. It’s getting worse.
