Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Sportist Svoge boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Transfer targets

Viktorio Valkov is a medical away from Sportist Svoge

The deal with Beroe is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Yuri 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 Sportist Svoge this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Botev Plovdiv tell Sportist Svoge: Hristiyan Vasilev 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.

Squad

Georgi Varbanov 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.

The dugout

Kirill Glazunov 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.

Market

Martin Kostadinov runs his contract down

2 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Sportist Svoge money.

The dugout

Georgi Atanasov 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 Sportist Svoge, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Yuri linked with a move away

The name of Yuri keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Sportist Svoge say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sportist Svoge

Martin Kostadinov 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

Georgi Atanasov 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Peter Ahisu

“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

Sportist Svoge sign Hans Mertens, one for the future

Hans Mertens is 18, and Sportist Svoge 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.

Squad

Ivan Anić signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ivan Anić and Sportist Svoge agree another 4 years.

The dugout

Martin Kostadinov asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
