The players' decision to enter the stadium in private cars and without wearing the club's official uniform is a clear sign of their discontent with the club's management. According to the club's direction, the players are up to date with their salaries, but will receive their August wages on Monday. However, it appears that some players are still owed money, particularly those with higher contracts.
This development is a complication for the club's officialdom, as elections are scheduled for November 15th. Nelson Pugliese is the official candidate to replace Fabián Berlanga.
