The dugout17 May 2027

The manager makes an example of Sanousi Al-Hawsawi

“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.

Boardroom17 May 2027

Wages eat 108% of everything Damac earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The dugout17 May 2027

A promise honoured at Damac

Something was said to Jamal Harkass and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Squad17 May 2027

Words exchanged at Damac

Majed Al-Awad 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.

The dugout17 May 2027

Jonathan Okita gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jonathan Okita is on it.

Market17 May 2027

The Morlaye Sylla question follows Damac around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Morlaye Sylla’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout17 May 2027

Mohammad Alsalkhadi 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.

Market17 May 2027

Khaled Al-Sumairi runs his contract down

1 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Damac money.

Match17 May 2027

Damac have something to play for

Position 5 on 57 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Hassan Rabea keeps the receipts

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

Squad12 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Damac

Sanousi Al-Hawsawi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Loan watch12 Apr 2027

David Kaiki has seen enough of Al-Khaleej

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Damac, and 3 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Yakou Meïté has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Damac will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market12 Apr 2027

Damac and Khaled Al-Sumairi are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Issam Al-Qarni is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Market12 Apr 2027

Thamer Al-Shahrani told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Thamer Al-Shahrani has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Damac.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Majed Al-Awad

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

Market12 Apr 2027

The Mohammad Alsalkhadi talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Damac know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
