Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Ermis put Dimitris Kastanos on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

The Ermis board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Petros Alexandrou breaks a bone — 20 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 20 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

Jimmy due for a Ermis medical

Everything agreed with AE Kition, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad2 Aug 2027

A falling-out at Ermis

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

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

Door shut on Carlos Peixoto

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

Squad2 Aug 2027

Iebe Swers 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.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Alan Veiga wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Ermis know it.

The dugout2 Aug 2027

The manager's exit leaves Maecky Ngombo exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Maecky Ngombo is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.

Ermis put Dimitris Kastanos on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Fee done, terms next for Dani Escriche

Ermis and Apollon have settled on $1.0M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market5 Jul 2027

Andreas Zachariou 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 Ermis, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Christos Papadimitriou signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Christos Papadimitriou and Ermis agree another 2 years.

Squad5 Jul 2027

A row about effort at Ermis

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

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Door shut on Edi Semedo

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

The dugout5 Jul 2027

The manager makes an example of Christoforos Karagiannis

“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.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Ermis ask about Gabriel Pereira

A loan enquiry to APOEL: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Labros Ioannou has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Ermis will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

In brief

  • Boardroom Intake day at the Ermis academy
  • Squad Alan Veiga remains an outsider

Match31 May 2027

Ermis are in real trouble now

Position 13, 21 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad31 May 2027

Dylan Ragolle 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 Ermis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 May 2027

José Alves 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. José Alves has, at Ermis, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad31 May 2027

Words at Ermis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ruslan Teverov 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.

Market31 May 2027

A long bet from Ermis on Alan Veiga

He is 19, and nobody at Ermis signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad31 May 2027

5 new faces, and Ermis are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout31 May 2027

When it matters, Rafail Eleftheriou plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout31 May 2027

The manager makes Giorgos Kouraklis a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Ermis. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market31 May 2027

Ermis pick up Cristóbal Valbuena for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Cristóbal Valbuena arrives at Ermis with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.
