Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Macarthur FC

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market

Lukas Kelly-Heald asks to leave Macarthur FC

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Nikola Mileusnic has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Kosta Grozos 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 Macarthur FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Adelaide United are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Macarthur FC will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Sam Evans stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Sam Evans and Macarthur FC agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

A hiding for Macarthur FC

Beaten 0‑3 by Brisbane Roar, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Alex Robinson

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Lucas Scicluna says Macarthur FC went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Ji Dong-Won 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 Macarthur FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

As if he never left: Max Burns returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Max Burns is a Macarthur FC player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Market

Sam Evans comes home

The shirt still fits. Sam Evans is back at Macarthur FC, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Market

Paul Kelly is a Macarthur FC player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Market

Blake Webb comes home

The shirt still fits. Blake Webb is back at Macarthur FC, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad

Macarthur FC count the cost of losing Sebastian Kršlović

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