Match17 Feb 2031

Cracovia refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 58 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market17 Feb 2031

Darko Marjanović is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Cracovia is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom17 Feb 2031

Quilma has agreed to leave Cracovia for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad17 Feb 2031

A falling-out at Cracovia

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

Squad17 Feb 2031

Sebastian Walukiewicz 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.

Squad17 Feb 2031

Mujaid Sadick is a square peg at Cracovia

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.

Squad17 Feb 2031

Too much change too quickly at Cracovia

10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout17 Feb 2031

Sebastian Walukiewicz has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Cracovia 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.

The dugout17 Feb 2031

The manager makes an example of Gonzalo Melgarejo

“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.

Back issues

The Cracovia Sentinel

10 Feb 2031
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad10 Feb 2031

Mihael Mlinarić is carrying Cracovia

25 goals and a season average of 7.67. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match8 Feb 2031

Whatever happens, Cracovia do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings10 Feb 2031

Damian Zielinski, 17, plays like he has been here for years — 7.90

A mark of 7.90 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 17-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad10 Feb 2031

Henrich Ravas stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market10 Feb 2031

Harry Winks’s move to Lech falls through

The deal that would have taken Harry Winks to Lech has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Cracovia with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market10 Feb 2031

Quilma puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cracovia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market10 Feb 2031

Théo Magnin is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Cracovia is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom10 Feb 2031

Cracovia to lose Bence Varga for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Bence Varga has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad10 Feb 2031

Words exchanged at Cracovia

Sayfallah Ltaief 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 Jagiellonia Sentinel

18 Jun 2029
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market18 Jun 2029

Domen Gril has said yes to Korona

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Jagiellonia have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market18 Jun 2029

Kamil Dudek puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Jagiellonia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Tempers go at Jagiellonia

Bernardo Vital 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.

Market18 Jun 2029

Quilma is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Jagiellonia is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Transfer targets18 Jun 2029

Jagiellonia baulk at the price for Maciej Kuziemka

Wisla Krakow wanted more than $340.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets18 Jun 2029

Korona tell Jagiellonia: Mariusz Stępiński 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.

Squad18 Jun 2029

A row about effort at Jagiellonia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Łukasz Bejger was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout18 Jun 2029

The manager makes an example of Gabriel Charpentier

“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.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Jagiellonia are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.
