Market30 Jul 2029

Stefan Waine 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 Southern United can pretend not to have heard.

Tommy Lockyer due for a Southern United medical

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

Squad30 Jul 2029

Ben Cacace 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 Southern United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout30 Jul 2029

The manager makes an example of Calum Hewlett

“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.

Southern United ask about Nathan Lobo

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

Squad30 Jul 2029

Words at Southern United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. a squad player 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.

Ben Cacace linked with a move away

The name of Ben Cacace keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Southern United say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout30 Jul 2029

Cameron Lockyer has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Cameron Lockyer has written the date down.

Market30 Jul 2029

Still no signature from Winston Stamatelopoulos

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

Squad18 Jun 2029

A fracture rules Chris Colvey out for 32 days

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

Nathan Garrow due for a Southern United medical

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

Squad18 Jun 2029

A falling-out at Southern United

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

Transfer targets18 Jun 2029

Too dear: Southern United walk away from Conor Tracey

$69.0K was the most the club would pay and Auckland City were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad18 Jun 2029

a squad player signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” a squad player and Southern United agree another 3 years.

Squad18 Jun 2029

a squad player 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.

The dugout18 Jun 2029

Jason Doyle 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 Jason Doyle is on it.

The dugout18 Jun 2029

No hiding place for Monty Payne

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Monty Payne, and the manager let it.

Market18 Jun 2029

The Drake Hadeed talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Southern United know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
