Football dictatorship at Polonia Warszawa

WARSAW, Poland. Sept 4 (PS) — Coach Jose Maria Bakero has ended his meeting with Polonia Warszawa owner Jozef Wojciechowski and he is anything but happy. Something is happening at Polonia which will shock the whole Ekstraklasa.

The Spaniard has learned that all his training and team decisions must first be consulted and approved with the club's General Manager, Pawel Janas.

Too much of a defensive setup, lack of a spectacular style of play and excessive attachment to certain players are the main objections at the Jose Maria Bakero which directs Jozef Wojciechowski.

On Wednesday the two men met to discuss the conditions for further cooperation.

What did the Spaniard learn? All his ideas will have to be consulted with the club's General Manager, Pawel Janas, which they will meet twice a week. If the men fail to reach agreement, the discussion will include the assistant coach, goalkeeping coach and coach of physical preparation.

This is not the end of the "news" at Polonia.

"After each match players will be judged by a 12-person group of experts. Player who will have the lowest and average ratings will not play in the next match, they would get an imaginary red card." says Jozef Wojciechowski about his new system of "football dictatorship" regime at Polonia.

The first "victim" of the new system is Spaniard Andreu, which will be missing in the next Ekstraklasa league match with Korona Kielce.

Of course, coach Bakero was not a proponent of this system and quickly objected.

"He did not like it. But I told him that if does not agree with the assessment of 12 experts, he probably does not agree with the whole idea of a professional club, my club." Wojciechowski explained.

There is no doubt that the changes introduced by Wojciechowski will lessen the control that Jose Maria Bakero holds as club head coach and running the team. If anything, he will be next on the chopping block if Polonia suffer a defeat.

I think he will bite his tongue and accept it for a year. He went to Poland to built his resume, if he wins he will run and never look back. Ek translation a joke

pathetic. Bakero is a great coach too, and aren't Polonia leading the table?

Well, Polonia is free to do what it wants, even if it means replacing a foreign coach with a talentless idiotic unproffesional Polish coach like Janas.

Funny, I always thought Legia was the communist club...

Wojciechowski has been looking to get Andreu out of the first team since the start of the season. Unsurprising then that he is the first 'eviction'.

This is why Polish football is such a joke. The proposals by Wojciechowski are anything but professional. The league and Polish football in general is so very poor that this type of behavior is a real death knell to football in Poland. This looks like a plan to force the coach out by using Janas who will probably take over at some stage. Perhaps it's to get rid of the coach without having to pay him off in the hope that he walks out as any manager would under such pathetic circumstances.
