QuoteOpinion: "Paciencia" is a virtue that Domingos should adhere to
Would Braga boss be better off turning down Sporting and staying put?
Paciencia (meaning "patience" in Portuguese) might just be the appropriate action for Braga President Antonio Salvador, Braga fans, and even the Braga coach himself. Domingos Paciencia's rise in Portuguese football has been meteoric. Many have pointed to Andre Villas Boas' season at Porto, but it is Paciencia's job with Braga that has really impressed.
The latest news being reported has Paciencia joining Sporting at the end of the season. Sporting's newly elected President Godinho Lopes made it clear that Paciencia was his first choice all along. Without a doubt, getting Paciencia would be a great move for Sporting. They have been lacking in the managerial department all season, and Paciencia has proven to do a lot, with little. The question that has to be asked is whether it is in Paciencia's best interest to go to Sporting. It's no secret that he turned down Sporting last season after being low balled in salary.
Braga is still playing in the Europa League, amazingly reaching the semi-finals. The team currently sits 3rd in the table, ahead of Sporting. Looking at current form it would stand to reason that Braga will finish 3rd in the league. Granted, both 3rd and 4th spots will automatically lead to Europa League qualification. What many fail to realise is that there is a big difference in your qualification, due to where you finish. The club finishing fourth enters in the 3rd qualifying round at the end of July, while a third place finish is rewarded with direct access to the Europa League play-off, around one month later. Having to start play in early July not only forces teams to bring players in earlier, but it could also cut into profit making pre-season friendly matches and tournaments.
Domingos PacienciaThe fact is that Braga could finish the season with as much money for the open market as Sporting has. Braga will have earned more money in European play and will be guaranteed a better seeding for next season's tournament as well. They have a plus 7 million euro surplus in transfer money this season, while Sporting come in at about one million less. Although Braga is averaging 10,000 fewer spectators a match, that number could also shrink. Sporting fans have been going to the stadium less and less while Braga fans should be excited about the end of the season.
Braga's president Salvador has taken heat from pundits and fans for not locking up Paciencia earlier. Maybe he should have, but we all know that contracts, especially managerial ones, don't mean a thing. Buy outs are always negotiated. Regardless, Salvador should have more money available to bolster a squad that has proven to be more than adequate. That fact cannot be ignored by Paciencia.
All these factors have to weigh heavily on Paciencia. Sporting's job is far more prestigious and glamorous. But, with that prestige comes a lot more pressure. Unless he has a guarantee of funds to work with from Lopes, Braga just might be in a better situation. With Portugal having earned back a third Champions League spot for 2012/2013, next season's race should be frantic at the very least. What Domingos needs, maybe, is a little "paciencia" before making such an important decision.

Em resumo ... o mingos devia ter paciência e ficar no SCB.
Falar é fácil . Há aí umas assunções que não são correctas ... dizer que o SCB vai ter mais €€ disponíveis para investir no mercado da próxima época é irreal e próprio de quem vê de fora .

não se pensarmos como os três porquinhos, nós podemos gastar mais do que o temos como eles mas isso ao contrário deles trás consequências, sim porque eles devem milhoes e milhoes e nada acontece e clubes mais humildes que não chegam a dever nem 5% do que eles devem são logo queimados
e não me venham dizer que eles têm mais capacidade de pagar a divida porque isso é tudo uma valente treta, pois como se vê a sau divida não pára de crescer (desde quando o aumento de divida = a maior credibilidade economica? Quer dizer Portugal como país teve outrodestino devido à sua "credibilidade" ::))
