Squad16 Jul 2029

Martin Fraisl breaks a bone — 134 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 134 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The terraces16 Jul 2029

Supporters organise against the Admira Wacker board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

The dugout16 Jul 2029

Mateja Bubanj keeps the receipts

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

Market16 Jul 2029

Daniel Antosch asks to leave Admira Wacker

“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.

Market16 Jul 2029

Daniel Antosch is on his way

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

Squad16 Jul 2029

Tempers go at Admira Wacker

Andreas Kuen 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.

Squad16 Jul 2029

Real improvement from Telmo Alves at Admira Wacker

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Telmo Alves is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad16 Jul 2029

A late step up for Mateja Bubanj

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 4 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Transfer targets16 Jul 2029

Admira Wacker rebuffed over Lautaro Daus

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Austria Wien have kept their man, and Admira Wacker go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad8 Jan 2029

The knee: Cican Stanković out for 25 days

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

Market8 Jan 2029

Tiago Serrazina 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 Admira Wacker can pretend not to have heard.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Words exchanged at Admira Wacker

Luca Kronberger 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.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Lukas Gugganig 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.

Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

Door shut on Daniel Banjaqui

Admira Wacker asked and Benfica said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout8 Jan 2029

Mateja Bubanj 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.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Telmo Alves signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Telmo Alves and Admira Wacker agree another 4 years.

Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

A loan move for Liam Henderson is in the works

Admira Wacker have made the call to Sampdoria. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

Admira Wacker ask about Alexandr Degtev

A loan enquiry to Zenit: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market28 Feb 2028

David Schloffer 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 Admira Wacker can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Maximilian Weimann says Admira Wacker 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.

Market28 Feb 2028

Christoph Grillitsch has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Admira Wacker they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad28 Feb 2028

A falling-out at Admira Wacker

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

Squad28 Feb 2028

Words at Admira Wacker training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lukas Gugganig is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

The manager makes an example of Sebastian Bauer

“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.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

The manager has not finished forgetting Yanis Guermouche's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Jonathan Scherzer has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Admira Wacker 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.

Match21 Feb 2028

Every point is an argument now for Admira Wacker

Position 9 and 14 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market21 Feb 2028

Florian Wustinger 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 Admira Wacker, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Andreas Kuen 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 Admira Wacker this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Amin Younes 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 dugout21 Feb 2028

Luca Kronberger 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 Luca Kronberger is on it.

The dugout21 Feb 2028

The manager makes an example of Daniel Antosch

“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.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Telmo Alves is a square peg at Admira Wacker

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.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Jarno Janssen remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Admira Wacker would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

The dugout21 Feb 2028

Sebastian Bauer 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 Sebastian Bauer has written the date down.

Squad14 Feb 2028

A fracture rules David Đurić out for 20 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Admira Wacker will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market14 Feb 2028

Uroš Đerić is on his way

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

Andreas Kuen 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.

Squad14 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Admira Wacker

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

Market14 Feb 2028

Admira Wacker sign Telmo Alves, one for the future

Telmo Alves is 20, and Admira Wacker 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.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Too much change too quickly at Admira Wacker

6 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 dugout14 Feb 2028

Lukas Gugganig 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 Lukas Gugganig is on it.

Market14 Feb 2028

Admira Wacker and Sebastian Bauer 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 dugout14 Feb 2028

The manager makes Sebastian Bauer a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Admira Wacker. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
