Match13 Mar 2028

Lokeren are in real trouble now

Position 16, 12 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market13 Mar 2028

Ben Yagan 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 Lokeren can pretend not to have heard.

A falling-out at Lokeren

Jérémy Vachoux and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Ismail Azzaoui 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.

Market13 Mar 2028

Still no ink between Lokeren and Jens Cools

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Lokeren, another week without a signature from Jens Cools.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

Jens Cools knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Jens Cools trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Georges Onday is a square peg at Lokeren

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

Laurent Castagne has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Laurent Castagne has written the date down.

Squad6 Mar 2028

The knee: Thomas Bonnet out for 16 days

16 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Lokeren lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Boardroom6 Mar 2028

Lokeren spell it out for Thorgan Doku

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Thorgan Doku has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Boardroom6 Mar 2028

The Lokeren board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Market6 Mar 2028

Jarno Libert asks to leave Lokeren

“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.

Squad6 Mar 2028

A falling-out at Lokeren

Ismail Azzaoui and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Georges Onday arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Georges Onday has, at Lokeren, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Lokeren lose Modeste Duku

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

Market6 Mar 2028

A long bet from Lokeren on Georges Onday

He is 20, and nobody at Lokeren signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

Ismail Azzaoui loses the manager who believed in him

A change in the dugout is not one story, it is twenty-five of them. This is Ismail Azzaoui's: he was somebody's player, and now he has to be somebody else's, starting from nothing.
