The dugout

Richárd Nagy frozen out at Bekescsaba

This is not rotation. Richárd Nagy has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Bekescsaba is pretending otherwise.

Squad

A falling-out at Bekescsaba

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

Squad

Vane Jovanov 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.

Boardroom

Embargo at Bekescsaba

No fees may be paid for anybody, whatever the squad needs. Every rumour about this club until it lifts is a rumour about a deal that cannot be done.

Boardroom

The borrowing at Bekescsaba reaches $20.6M

Past the limit the bank set, which is the line between a club being financed and a club being in trouble. $20.6M is now the number every conversation about this club will start with.

The dugout

Gergő Bánfalvi knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Gergő Bánfalvi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

The Levente Balázsi question follows Bekescsaba around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Levente Balázsi’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

Still no signature from Benedek Murka

2 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Bekescsaba could get for him.

Market

The shop window has Gergő Major in it

Bekescsaba have let the market know Gergő Major can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Bence Daru out for 79 days

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

The dugout

Gergő Major frozen out at Bekescsaba

This is not rotation. Gergő Major has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Bekescsaba is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Alex Szabó 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Bekescsaba

Ognjen Mudrinski 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.

The dugout

Kristóf Sármány 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.

The dugout

Áron Papp 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 Áron Papp is on it.

The dugout

Bekescsaba keep their word to Donát Horgosi

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Market

The Filip Borsos story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Filip Borsos signs something — a contract at Bekescsaba or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market

Kristóf Sármány placed on the list

Bekescsaba have made Kristóf Sármány available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

In brief

17 Jul 2028
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

110 days out for István Albert after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Bekescsaba will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Donát Horgosi 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 Bekescsaba, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Richárd Nagy frozen out at Bekescsaba

This is not rotation. Richárd Nagy has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Bekescsaba is pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Balázs Ulviczki

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Bekescsaba have done the hard part with Kozármisleny, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Tempers go at Bekescsaba

Vane Jovanov 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.

Market

Miodrag Gemović moves on

Kazincbarcika pay $26.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Words at Bekescsaba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alex Szabó 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Luka Stojanović

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

Loan watch

Rajmund Schrenck counts the days

“I watch every Bekescsaba game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at BVSC-Zugló runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
