Boardroom

Anthony Harris has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Rotherham United can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Market

Arvin Appiah 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 The request is on a desk at Rotherham United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Ellery Balcombe

There were 7 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.

Squad

Gustavo Sá is carrying Rotherham United

17 goals and a season average of 7.30. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Tempers go at Rotherham United

Gustavo Sá 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.

Squad

Esapa Osong stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Esapa Osong and Rotherham United agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom

Mackenzie Maltby will join Rotherham United for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Mackenzie Maltby has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Rotherham United have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Esapa Osong

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Rotherham United see off Cardiff City

Three points for Rotherham United, 2‑0 the final word against Cardiff City in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Real improvement from Deivid Washington at Chelsea

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

Squad

Robert Sánchez 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 Chelsea this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Chelsea training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Moisés Caicedo 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.

Squad

A late step up for Alex Scott

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 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.

Market

Marco Palestra attracts admirers

The name of Marco Palestra has come up in conversations Chelsea were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Loan watch

Shumaira Mheuka wants to come home

“I did not go to Newcastle United to sit and watch. I want to come back to Chelsea and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.
