Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Damir Redžić

91 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Fehervar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Fehervar sink to position 11

19 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Fehervar

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fehervar

Ivan Milosavljević 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 dugout

Ivan Milosavljević 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.

Market

Talks stall between Fehervar and Antonin Melis

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Mamady Bangré wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Fehervar can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout

Octave Joly knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Fehervar, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Octave Joly runs his contract down

5 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Fehervar money.

Squad

Damir Redžić damages knee ligaments — 112 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 112 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.

Market

Filip Oblak asks to leave Fehervar

“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.

Squad

A career in one shirt: Dániel Nagy

10 seasons and 115 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Market

Only the photograph left for Stefan Djuricic

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Stefan Djuricic will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Fehervar the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at Fehervar

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Igors Vanins

“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 dugout

Damir Redžić asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Damir Redžić loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Damir Redžić. Fehervar will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Boardroom

Belts tighten at Fehervar

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Squad

Ivan Milosavljević 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 Fehervar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Fehervar against Diosgyor

0‑1 to Diosgyor, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

A row about effort at Fehervar

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

The dugout

Kristóf Pálfi 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.

Market

The clock does Quincy Hoquee’s negotiating for him

2 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Fehervar could ask drops and the wages Quincy Hoquee can ask rise.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Evrack Nkounkou

Nobody at Fehervar is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Player ratings

Marcus Melchior beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 10. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Somebody is after Ivan Milosavljević’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Ivan Milosavljević suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Fehervar have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Fehervar

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Fehervar is running low.

Squad

The knee: Yaroslav Dziubko out for 69 days

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

Market

Ivan Nikčević 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 Fehervar can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

$220.0K settles it between the clubs for Diogo Rocha

MTK Budapest have accepted the money. What Fehervar do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Diogo Rocha rejects the move

Fehervar had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at MTK Budapest, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Tempers go at Fehervar

Ivan Milosavljević 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.

Transfer targets

Fehervar rebuffed over Stipe Duvnjak

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

Squad

A row about effort at Fehervar

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

The dugout

Octave Joly asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
