Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Boavista

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Match

No end in sight to Boavista's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Boavista has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Boavista come up short against Casa Pia

Casa Pia left with the points after a 0-1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Javi Martón

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Maritimo are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Boavista will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Miguel Maga asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Jorge Fernandes linked with a move away

The name of Jorge Fernandes keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Boavista say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Somebody is after Pizzi’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Pizzi suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Boavista have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Market

Boavista and Jonathan De Bie are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

Tomás Castro hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Boavista can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Jonathan De Bie gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Josué Dorrio knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Boavista, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

João Gonçalves keeps Boavista in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Yohan Tavares out for 17 days

The medical room confirms 17 days on the sidelines for Yohan Tavares, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

Boavista come up short against Casa Pia

Casa Pia left with the points after a 0-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Andrea Consigli knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Boavista, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Boavista and Yoram Boerhout are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
