Match

10 matches without a win for Dobrudzha

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Dobrudzha are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

Vladimir Petrov has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Dobrudzha can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Dobrudzha boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market

Lyubomir Kostov asks to leave Dobrudzha

“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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Dobrudzha against Septemvri

1-2 to Septemvri, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Tomás Galván 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

Edoardo Contiero stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Edoardo Contiero and Dobrudzha agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

A long bet from Dobrudzha on Tommaso Reali

He is 20, and nobody at Dobrudzha signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Georgi Lazarov finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Dobrudzha have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

9 matches without a win for Dobrudzha

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Dobrudzha are no longer polite ones.

Market

Sekala Guehi asks to leave Dobrudzha

“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.

Market

Georgi Trifonov is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dobrudzha is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

Honours even between Dobrudzha and Arda

1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Ivaylo Mihaylov 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

Adil Taoui 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

Dobrudzha put Matheus Leoni up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Matheus Leoni may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad

Gonzalo Ávila is off the mark for Dobrudzha

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

Somebody is after Malick Fall’s shirt

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