Squad24 Jul 2028

Boalefa Pule breaks a bone — 71 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 71 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom24 Jul 2028

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Police Union

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

Squad24 Jul 2028

Ahmed Abdallah damages knee ligaments — 54 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 54 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match24 Jul 2028

Police Union sink to position 16

29 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Transfer targets24 Jul 2028

Police Union agree $230.0K for Fábio Duarte

The clubs have shaken hands with El Dakhleya; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market24 Jul 2028

Ahmed Abdallah puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Police Union, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets24 Jul 2028

Police Union make their move for Ahmed Sayed Gharib

$110.0K on the table at El Dakhleya. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad24 Jul 2028

Saleh Nasr 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 Police Union this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market24 Jul 2028

Military Production watching Jamilu Yusuf

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Police Union have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad2 Aug 2027

69 days out for Saleh Nasr after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Police Union will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

John Murray has until the next board meeting

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

Squad2 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at Police Union

Tarik Aoutah and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Words at Police Union training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mawouna Amevor is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

Al Ahly tell Police Union: Omar El Saaiy 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 dugout2 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Mohamed Raafat

“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.

Market2 Aug 2027

Police Union and Mawouna Amevor 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.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Zé Adilson wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Police Union can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout2 Aug 2027

Evans Mensah knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Evans Mensah trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad7 Jun 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Tarik Aoutah

26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Police Union lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Mohamed Abdelsalam breaks a bone — 122 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 122 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

John Murray has until the next board meeting

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

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Mohamed Raafat is a medical away from Police Union

The deal with Al Ahly is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Gonçalo Dias gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Gonçalo Dias has just signed for Police Union, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at Police Union

Tarik Aoutah and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

An offer of $19.0K for Hazem Temsah

Police Union have gone to ENPPI with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

Police Union agree a free transfer for Adham Alaa

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Door shut on Ahmed Farouk

Police Union asked and Wadi Degla said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
