Business is business: Marvin Keller goes

Nobody could get near Herba Guirassy
Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A $17.1M sale, and a town that did not want it
Marvin Keller has gone, the accounts have $17.1M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Young Boys cannot stop winning
3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

In brief
- Match St. Gallen blown away early
