The terraces

The mood at Ospitaletto has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Ospitaletto

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Ospitaletto is running low.

Boardroom

Ospitaletto put Gennaro Ferrigno 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.

Market

Michel Panatti 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 Ospitaletto can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Francesco Avellino breaks a bone — 14 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 14 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at Ospitaletto

Faysel Kasmi 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.

Squad

Gaetano Letizia 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.

Market

The Marcello Possenti conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Carpi will make the call about Marcello Possenti this week. Ospitaletto have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad

Irakli Mikautadze signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Irakli Mikautadze commits to Ospitaletto for another 3 years.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Guille Donoso damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

A fracture rules Francesco Avellino out for 22 days

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

Market

Francesco Gobbi 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 Ospitaletto, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A move Irakli Mikautadze would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Irakli Mikautadze is living that version at Ospitaletto, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Words at Ospitaletto training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gaetano Letizia 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.

Market

Ospitaletto buy the years ahead of Marek Rusnak

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

In brief
