Market

Hartberg turn down Red Bull Salzburg for Marco Hoffmann

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Jed Drew stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jed Drew and Hartberg agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Tom Hülsmann moves on

Rapid Wien pay $640.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Tobias Kainz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hartberg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Charlotte Football Club tell Hartberg: David Schnegg is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Hartberg find a way past LASK

LASK made Hartberg work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Marco Hoffmann

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

One of our own: Michael Arnautovic joins the Hartberg first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Michael Arnautovic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Patrick Posch joins the Hartberg first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Patrick Posch is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Olympiacos come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Hartberg did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Both of them Jed Drew's — 8.47

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.47, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Lukas Spendlhofer signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lukas Spendlhofer and Hartberg agree another 2 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Hartberg

Tom Hülsmann and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Hartberg see off Sturm Graz

Three points for Hartberg, 3‑1 the final word against Sturm Graz in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Transfer targets

Heidenheim tell Hartberg: Marvin Pieringer is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces

Hartberg supporters have found a favourite in Jed Drew

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Jed Drew has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

A row about effort at Hartberg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Youba Diarra was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Eyes on Harald Postl again

The phone has started ringing about Harald Postl again, and this time the name on the line is FAC Wien. Hartberg are listening politely and promising nothing.

In brief
