Market

Bernard Ovoke asks to leave Police Union

“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.

Squad

Seth Green: 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.” Police Union have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Anas Yusuf

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

4 matches without a win for Police Union

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Police Union are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Police Union

Ahmed Yasser 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.

Match

Al Ahly take the points off Police Union

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Ahmed Daouda 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.

Boardroom

117% of the income goes out in wages at Police Union

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Mohamed Naser 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 Mohamed Naser trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Imamu Bala hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Police Union can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Amr Saleh: 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.” Police Union have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 30 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Ibrahim Aboul-Yazid 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.

Match

Ghazl El Mahalla take the points off Police Union

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Mahmoud Ezzat 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.

Player ratings

Mpho Mathekgane runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Talks stall between Police Union and Seth Green

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Omar Marwan

Marked 5.28, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Match

Cup progress for Police Union

A 2‑0 win over Military Production, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

Tempers go at Police Union

Musa Wakili 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.

Match

Zamalek take the points off Police Union

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Vincent Akpikpi in the eights

A performance of 8.65 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Ibrahim Aboul-Yazid 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Azriel Gonzalez

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ahmed Daouda 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 Ahmed Daouda trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Vincent Akpikpi finally opens his account

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

Player ratings

Off the pace: Bernard Ovoke

A mark of 5.56 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Market

Ahmed Abdallah told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Ahmed Abdallah has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Police Union.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Imamu Bala

“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.

Market

Still no ink between Police Union and Seth Green

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Police Union, another week without a signature from Seth Green.

Squad

Tarik Aoutah knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Police Union, and both men came out saying it was fine.
