From our football correspondent Steady

Market31 Aug 2026

Deji Oshilaja 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 Mansfield Town can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Michael Smith, 34, rolls back the years — 7.91

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.91 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

An offer of $1.8M for Lenny Agbaire

Mansfield Town have gone to Rotherham United with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Dom Jefferies

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

Market31 Aug 2026

Floriana come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mansfield Town did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

An offer of $310.0K for Ruari Paton

Mansfield Town have gone to Port Vale with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad31 Aug 2026

George Abbott 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 Mansfield Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market31 Aug 2026

Mansfield Town sign Nehemiah Oriola, one for the future

Nehemiah Oriola is 19, and Mansfield Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Owen Dodgson beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Shilow Tracey beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 34. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Liam Roberts stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market24 Aug 2026

Lucas Akins 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 Mansfield Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

George Abbott pops up at the right end — 7.39

7.39, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mansfield Town say no — this time

The offer from Exeter City for Baily Cargill was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Mansfield Town

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

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Wrexham tell Mansfield Town: Dominic Hyam is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mansfield Town

Victor Adeboyejo 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Mansfield Town see off Leyton Orient

Three points for Mansfield Town, 2‑1 the final word against Leyton Orient in a contest settled by the finer margins.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market10 Aug 2026

Édouard Dupuy turns Ilves down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market10 Aug 2026

JS Saoura join the queue for Olivier Adam

Add another name to the list: JS Saoura have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Olivier Adam. The answer from Tours has not changed — yet.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Yves Deschamps signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yves Deschamps commits to Tours for another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Tours

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

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $110.0K for Raphaël Le Guen

Tours have gone to Stade Brestois with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tours count the cost of losing Jean Dumas

46 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market10 Aug 2026

Tours and Stefan Bajić are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad10 Aug 2026

No place for Benjamin Santelli in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Tours are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Yves Deschamps 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 Yves Deschamps trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market3 Aug 2026

Tours turn down Paradou for Édouard Dupuy

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Tours

Yves Deschamps 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Guillaume Aubry 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 dugout3 Aug 2026

Olivier Adam 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Tours against Dijon

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

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Édouard Dupuy was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Emmanuel Dubois answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Tours ask about Luck Zogbé

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

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Tours try to borrow Joan Tincres

Le Havre AC have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
