On course for their fourth manager in under five months, Las Palmas had drifted to the foot of La Liga before a lifeline emerged against Espanyol …
The new manager of Unión Deportiva de Las Palmas is on holiday and won’t be back until the new year. He wasn’t on the bench at the Estadio Gran Canaria on Sunday and won’t be on the bench at the Coliseum on Wednesday either, while the man who will be there in Getafe knows he’ll be gone by the end of the game: he won’t make it to Christmas – which wouldn’t be that unusual except he only started work at the end of November – and the man replacing him won’t make it until after Christmas. He’s been 9,000km away and wants to spend it with his family first. Then, when it’s over, he’ll begin. And when he begins, they’ll begin all over again. Unless something else happens, and it might be an idea not to rule that out. After all, they’ve got form. Poor form, mostly.
Confused? Not half as confused as they must be.
