It rains criticism for the way of choosing the members of his candidacy
Barkala has gone back into another garden by announcing a new member of his equipment of work in case of being president of the Athletic. And it is that the highest authority of the Port of Bilbao has slipped enormously in the choice of Ainhoa ​​Tirapu as director of women’s football in the Athletic.
It is evident that the problem is not so much in the election, but in the appointed position. Ainhoa ​​Tirapu is a legend of Athletic feminine. She spent her entire career with the rojiblanco team, being the goalkeeper between 2005 and 2020. She won two Leagues and was international with the Spanish team.
Barkala’s mistake with the plugs in his team
Therefore, what is questioned is not that a legend works for the good of women’s football in Athletic. The big problem is that the old habit of plugging former players into positions that require a title and training continues. That’s where the big problem is Barkala with a new member of your team.
But Barkala we have already said on several occasions that he has a conservative and classic way of seeing Athletic. He is not in the business of introducing many changes, much less curbing the privileges that they have always had in the PNV with Athletic and many managerial positions.
Barkala is perceived as more of the same
Precisely if what you are looking for is to professionalize Lezama, really bet on bringing the women’s Athletic to fight with the best, in short, modernize the club from top to bottom… the first thing to do is put an end to plugging in as a way of accessing to important positions.
Barkala would do well to rectify this type of appointment in his team, since the Athletic partner is looking for a change. Barkala is seen as more of the same, as all that is intended to change. Therefore, the candidate would do well to innovate something with his decisions or it will be difficult for him on June 24.
