The FC Versailles Chronicle
Squad7 Sep 2026
Farès Farhi breaks a bone — 35 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Market7 Sep 2026
Aimé Gaval 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 FC Versailles can pretend not to have heard.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Deadline passes with 15 signed and 17 gone
That is the business done at FC Versailles until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.
Transfer targets7 Sep 2026
Tony Mendy will not be coming to FC Versailles
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at AJ Auxerre is saying, and nobody at FC Versailles is enjoying the guessing.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Djamal Moussadek 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 FC Versailles this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Mathias Fischer 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 dugout7 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Alexis Kabamba
“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.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Amir Etien is no longer first choice
The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Amir Etien has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
Looking ahead7 Sep 2026
A reunion for Romain Basque
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against FC Rouen in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
In brief
- The dugout Nathan Yavorsky knocks on the manager’s door
- Market The shop window has Ange Badey in it
- Market Window shut, Patrick Koffi still here
