Match4 Sep 2027
11 matches without a win for Fylkir
The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Fylkir are no longer polite ones.
Match6 Sep 2027
Fylkir sink to position 11
14 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.
Boardroom6 Sep 2027
What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Fylkir can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.
Market6 Sep 2027
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Fylkir can pretend not to have heard.

Bohdan Kovalenko: 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.” Fylkir have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The manager makes an example of Kári Sigfússon
“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.
Squad6 Sep 2027
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Fylkir, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Match4 Sep 2027
Fylkir and Leiknir cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Leiknir came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Fylkir they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
Match19 Jun 2027
Leiknir made Fylkir work for it, but the scoreboard read 1-0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Squad21 Jun 2027
“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.

Market21 Jun 2027

No end in sight to Fylkir's wait for a win
7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Fylkir has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad10 May 2027
“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.

Jordi Jaku is 20, and Fylkir have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
