Squad

Tomás Maçães: 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.” Altach have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Vegar Eggen Hedenstad 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Daniël Deen

“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.

Squad

Altach lose Rassa Rahmani

42 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Alfie Bradshaw 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 Altach, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Obbi Oularé 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 Altach can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tomás Maçães signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tomás Maçães commits to Altach for another 4 years.

Market

The Vesel Demaku talk will not go away

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

Squad

Ryan Ogam says Altach went back on their word

“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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Dejan Stojanović

“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.

Squad

Altach lose Marco Weimann

18 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
