From our football correspondent Crisis

Market8 Oct 2029

Kadir Seven 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 The request is on a desk at Zulte Waregem, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout8 Oct 2029

François Mendy keeps the receipts

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

Match6 Oct 2029

4 matches without a win for Zulte Waregem

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Zulte Waregem are no longer polite ones.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Words exchanged at Zulte Waregem

Fernand Gouré 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 Oct 2029

A row about effort at Zulte Waregem

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

Match6 Oct 2029

Zulte Waregem come up short against Westerlo

Westerlo left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Dilan Ortiz signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Dilan Ortiz and Zulte Waregem agree another 3 years.

Player ratings8 Oct 2029

Malick Mbaye beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Home is on Jared De León's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Zulte Waregem are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market30 Jul 2029

Terms done: Jevon Simons is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Umraniyespor waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Zulte Waregem is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets30 Jul 2029

Sint-Truiden tell Zulte Waregem: Samed Baždar 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.

Squad30 Jul 2029

Real improvement from Jared De León at Zulte Waregem

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

Squad30 Jul 2029

Fernand Gouré 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 Zulte Waregem this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match28 Jul 2029

KV Kortrijk take the points off Zulte Waregem

Beaten 3‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match28 Jul 2029

7 goals as Zulte Waregem and KV Kortrijk go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Zulte Waregem and KV Kortrijk, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Boardroom30 Jul 2029

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Zulte Waregem

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad30 Jul 2029

Stan Naert stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Stan Naert and Zulte Waregem agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad30 Jul 2029

Innocent Godwin has improved at 30, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad5 Feb 2029

Michael Brouwer damages knee ligaments — 63 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 63 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom5 Feb 2029

The interim tag comes off Nacer De Bruyne

Zulte Waregem interviewed the field and appointed the corridor: Nacer De Bruyne keeps the job he had been doing in all but title. Sometimes the safest pair of hands is the one already holding the wheel.

Player ratings5 Feb 2029

A brace, and Shion Shinkawa takes the afternoon — 8.96

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Shion Shinkawa provided it, and the 8.96 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market5 Feb 2029

Yassine Boujouama 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 Zulte Waregem, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad5 Feb 2029

A one-man rearguard from Matthew Corran

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Transfer targets5 Feb 2029

Sint-Truiden tell Zulte Waregem: Taiga Hata 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.

Market5 Feb 2029

Karl Madianga is on his way

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

Boardroom5 Feb 2029

Zulte Waregem close the window on a squad of their own making

5 in and 7 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Jared De León 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. Jared De León has, at Zulte Waregem, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

In brief
