Market10 Jul 2028

Ipswich Town say no — this time

The offer from Leeds United for Kasey McAteer was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market10 Jul 2028

Jack Taylor asks to leave Ipswich Town

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad10 Jul 2028

Jack Taylor says Ipswich Town went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad10 Jul 2028

George Hirst 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 Ipswich Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market10 Jul 2028

Sindre Walle Egeli raises the bar for Ipswich Town

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Ipswich Town heard it as anything else.

Squad10 Jul 2028

No hiding place for Maeson King

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Maeson King, and the manager let it.

Squad22 May 2028

Tempers go at Ipswich Town

George Hirst was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad22 May 2028

Ipswich Town lose Reece James

144 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad22 May 2028

No hiding place for Haydn Murray-Holme

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Haydn Murray-Holme, and the manager let it.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

Nothing got past Azor Matusiwa

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 39 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

Kasey McAteer runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

A defender's afternoon for Marcelino Núñez

Defensive actions: 26. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Azor Matusiwa 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 Ipswich Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match18 Mar 2028

Whatever happens, Ipswich Town do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Anis Mehmeti is carrying Ipswich Town

9 goals and a season average of 7.43. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

One of those days for Dara O'Shea

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.30, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match18 Mar 2028

Dara O'Shea sends Ipswich Town past Charlton Athletic

It finished 1‑0, and it was Dara O'Shea’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Ipswich Town.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Maeson King 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.

Only the photograph left for Reece James

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Reece James will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ipswich Town the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Tempers go at Ipswich Town

George Hirst was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A masterclass from Jaden Philogene

Marked 8.13 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Defences have started doubling up on Azor Matusiwa

7 goals and a season average of 7.34 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match12 Feb 2028

Ipswich Town share the spoils with Sheffield

A 1‑1 draw with Sheffield leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

The one thing Kasey McAteer could not do

Shots: 7, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Market14 Feb 2028

Jaden Philogene linked with a move away

The name of Jaden Philogene keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Ipswich Town say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Maeson King: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Ipswich Town have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Azor Matusiwa in a row with a teammate

Jaden Philogene is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.54 with 7 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match5 Feb 2028

Ipswich Town come up short against Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

A masterclass from Jaden Philogene

Marked 8.60 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kasey McAteer, and the manager let it.

The terraces7 Feb 2028

Everybody has an opinion about Arijanet Murić

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

Anis Mehmeti leaves them behind him

Shots: 7. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

The Hellas Verona Herald

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad18 Oct 2027

Lorenzo Montipò keeps Hellas Verona in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad18 Oct 2027

Maxim Leitsch says Hellas Verona went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad18 Oct 2027

Tempers go at Hellas Verona

Francesco Acerbi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings18 Oct 2027

Nobody could get near Mathis Lambourde

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match16 Oct 2027

Pescara take the points off Hellas Verona

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad18 Oct 2027

No hiding place for Martin Frese

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Martin Frese, and the manager let it.

Loan watch18 Oct 2027

Mattia Buniotto counts the days

“I watch every Hellas Verona game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Altamura runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Market18 Oct 2027

The Amin Sarr question follows Hellas Verona around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Amin Sarr’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Player ratings18 Oct 2027

Andrea Belotti keeps on missing

Shots: 10, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

In brief
