Gerardo Gómez: 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.” Manisa FK have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Mariano Barreda signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mariano Barreda commits to Manisa FK for another 4 years.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Tempers go at Manisa FK

Patric Calmon 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.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Yassine Benrahou falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad2 Apr 2029

José Sifuentes wants to go home

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

Market2 Apr 2029

Manisa FK and Emre Oğuz 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.

The dugout2 Apr 2029

Freek Entius 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.

Market2 Apr 2029

The Yassine Benrahou story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Yassine Benrahou signs something — a contract at Manisa FK or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout2 Apr 2029

Kazım Kahya 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 Kazım Kahya trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market8 Jan 2029

Terms done: Francis Nzaba is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Besiktas waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Manisa FK is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market8 Jan 2029

Manisa FK turn down Galatasaray for Ayberk Karapo

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

The dugout8 Jan 2029

Gerardo Gómez keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Manisa FK may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

Alanyaspor tell Manisa FK: İbrahim Kaya 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.

Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

The paperwork begins on Bedirhan Çetin

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Manisa FK have done the hard part with Vanspor, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Ayberk Karapo 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 Manisa FK this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Noa Megdad Manette stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Noa Megdad Manette and Manisa FK agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Words at Manisa FK training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yassine Benrahou 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.

Match8 Jan 2029

Halfway: Manisa FK sit in position 6

33 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.
