Market

Luka Pučnik agrees terms with Liepaja

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Beltinci people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Murat Bajraj is on his way

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

Market

Pino Žeželj 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 Beltinci can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Beltinci turn down Koper for Nejc Bencak

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Beltinci

Murat Bajraj 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Beltinci

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Stefan Moćić was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Zain Tahir wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Beltinci know it.

Boardroom

The Beltinci debt reaches $11.3M

Football clubs borrow; that is not the story. Borrowing more than the facility allows is, because from here it is the owner's money or somebody else's decision, and neither of those belongs to the board.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Zain Tahir

“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

The unthinkable, invoiced: Anej Jelovica sold

Bravo arrived with $380.0K and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Market

Samod Adeola Akinremi asks to leave Beltinci

“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.

The terraces

A $380.0K sale, and a town that did not want it

Anej Jelovica has gone, the accounts have $380.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Market

Beltinci turn down NK Krka for Vid Šumenjak

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

Transfer targets

Marko Simonič due for a Beltinci medical

Everything agreed with Aluminij, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Murat Bajraj 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 Beltinci this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Beltinci rebuffed over Nik Kapun

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. NK Krka have kept their man, and Beltinci go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Haris Bičakčić

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Haris Bičakčić, and the manager let it.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 132% of the Beltinci income

Every club 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 it has been tried.
