Market4 Sep 2028

Bernard Djiku has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Liberty Professionals they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match2 Sep 2028

No end in sight to Liberty Professionals's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Liberty Professionals has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Real improvement from Abdul Asante at Liberty Professionals

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Abdul Asante is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Kelechi Chimezie 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 Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom4 Sep 2028

Graduation day at Liberty Professionals

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Christian Acquah 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.

Market4 Sep 2028

Mohammed Boateng steps up from the Liberty Professionals academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mohammed Boateng has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Francis Gyan joins the Liberty Professionals first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Francis Gyan is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market4 Sep 2028

Felix Owusu steps up from the Liberty Professionals academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Felix Owusu has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Kelechi Chimezie 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 Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Abdul Asante is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match6 Oct 2027

Liberty Professionals bow out of the cup

Wa All Stars go through and Liberty Professionals go home, 1‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

The terraces11 Oct 2027

Anger at Liberty Professionals spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Player ratings11 Oct 2027

Up for the corner, and Kamaldeen Kudus delivers — 7.53

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Kamaldeen Kudus scored, was marked 7.53, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Market11 Oct 2027

Jonathan Atiemo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Liberty Professionals they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match9 Oct 2027

4 matches without a win for Liberty Professionals

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Liberty Professionals are no longer polite ones.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Kelechi Chimezie 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 Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gastón Rossi 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.

Market11 Oct 2027

Jonathan Atiemo is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Liberty Professionals has been clear about where Jonathan Atiemo stands, which is more than many ever get.

Match9 Oct 2027

Honours even between Liberty Professionals and Hearts of Oak

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Match9 Aug 2027

Liberty Professionals are in real trouble now

Position 14, 26 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.

Market9 Aug 2027

Bernard Djiku is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Liberty Professionals is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Abdul Asante is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Kelechi Chimezie 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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Christian Acquah has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Gastón Rossi 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.
