Market3 Apr 2028

Zayd El Kandoussi 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 US Orleans can pretend not to have heard.

Match1 Apr 2028

7 matches without a win for US Orleans

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around US Orleans are no longer polite ones.

Pacôme Bécard keeps the receipts

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

Squad3 Apr 2028

Tempers go at US Orleans

Chico Lamba 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.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Vicky Kiankaulua signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vicky Kiankaulua commits to US Orleans for another 4 years.

Words at US Orleans training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zayd El Kandoussi 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.

Match1 Apr 2028

A bad afternoon for US Orleans against Angers SCO

1‑2 to Angers SCO, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

One of those days for Antoine Joujou

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.11, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout3 Apr 2028

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Mathieu Simon to a room that had heard them before.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market30 Aug 2027

Terms done: Celal Bozkurt is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and SM Caen waiting with a shirt. Nobody at US Orleans is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market30 Aug 2027

Celal Bozkurt asks to leave US Orleans

“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.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

US Orleans baulk at the price for Mohamed Abdelmonem

OGC Nice wanted more than $1.7M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad30 Aug 2027

The step up is real for Djylian N'Guessan

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

The paperwork begins on Chico Lamba

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. US Orleans have done the hard part with AS Saint-Etienne, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Tempers go at US Orleans

Zayd El Kandoussi 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.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

US Orleans rebuffed over Clinton Mata

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

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

Antoine Joujou was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Johann Obiang 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.
