TRIBUNA RG | Tigres en busca del triunfo a la frontera 2-04-26

·57 min·5 clips

The new Tigres president asks fans what they want, opening a risky door to criticism before his term even starts.

1. TRIBUNA RG airs on a Semana Santa Thursday at 10am Monterrey time, with hosts Chiti, Julio Sanmiguel, and Chelito Delgado discussing Tigres front-office news. 2. Hosts are three regular on-air analysts at RG La Deportiva; Chiti leads the conversation, Julio offers the more skeptical perspective, and Chelito Garza (also called Chelito Delgado) is described as the newer voice. 3. The episode's central hook is a social media post by Carlos Emilio González, Tigres' incoming president effective June 1, 2026, which reads: 'quiero escuchar a los aficionados de Tigres y qué mejor lugar para escucharlos que en RG La Deportiva.' 4. González wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account that he arrived in Monterrey at age 17 to study and fell in love with the city, framing himself as a genuine Tigres believer before positioning himself as an executive. 5. Host Julio argues the post is dangerous: opening a channel for fan demands before the administration starts means every future bad result will be judged against the expectations the president himself solicited. 6. Chelito counters that engaging with fans is simply modern leadership — not responding on social media is also a choice with consequences, as former sporting director Tato Noriega's deliberate absence from social media showed. 7. Chiti reads fan replies live: demands include signing a striker with 'jerarquía' rather than Búfalo Aguirre, firing sporting coordinator Gerardo Torrado, not building a new stadium, scheduling fewer Friday matches, and returning the university shield to the jersey. 8. One memorable fan comment reads 'solo le pido una cosa: no le haga caso a los insaciables' — urging the new president to ignore the most extreme fan faction. 9. Another fan calls for 'primera reconciliación con Tuca, Carioca, Florian, Chiboldi' — people who left Tigres damaged — suggesting the new leadership should mend historic rifts. 10. Guido Pizarro's contract renewal as sporting director is described as confirmed and finalized, with Chiti framing the González-Pizarro partnership as the front office that will handle Gignac's departure. 11. André-Pierre Gignac has six months left on his contract; hosts agree his exit must be handled carefully given how many Tigres legends have left 'malamente' without proper send-offs. 12. Journalist Jaime Maldonado is cited as having suggested that Gignac's final regular-season match — against Mazatlán, which is itself disbanding — could serve as a dual farewell. 13. Hosts propose a summer farewell match format: Marseille vs. Tigres, or a Gignac friends-vs-Tigres match featuring figures from his international career. 14. Nahuel Guzmán's parallel situation is discussed: his contract also ends this cycle, and hosts believe Tigres will extend it year-by-year given his ongoing quality. 15. The stadium debate runs through multiple caller segments: some fans insist the Estadio Universitario has an irreplaceable 'aura' and should only be remodeled; others argue Tigres must build a new venue to evolve. 16. Hosts reference the new Monterrey (Rayados) stadium and the Guadalajara (Chivas) stadium as examples of successful transitions, arguing that the Akron/Guadalajara stadium retains atmosphere despite being a new build. 17. A caller raises complaints about the remodelated Estadio Azteca in Mexico City after the national team played there, prompting an on-air argument about whether América's fanbase has actually attended — since América has not yet played a league match there. 18. Tone is conversational morning radio with frequent crosstalk, caller banter, and a digression into Panini World Cup sticker album prices ($25 pesos per pack, $100 peso album, $300 paste-dura edition). 19. Tigres supporters interested in front-office transitions, Gignac's farewell, and the new-stadium debate will find the episode directly relevant. 20. Listeners outside the Tigres fanbase or those seeking match-day tactical analysis will find little of direct relevance.
