Anger at Great Olympics 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.

Boardroom21 Aug 2028

Pressure builds in the Great Olympics boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Baba Schlupp breaks a bone — 16 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 16 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Nicholas Ablido is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 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.

Market21 Aug 2028

Liberty Professionals come back empty-handed

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

Squad21 Aug 2028

Tempers go at Great Olympics

Selasie Bakai 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.

A fracture rules Baba Schlupp out for 24 days

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

Market14 Aug 2028

Great Olympics say no — this time

The offer from Heart of Lions for Michael Acquaye 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.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Real improvement from Abeiku Afful at Great Olympics

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Abeiku Afful is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match7 Aug 2028

Great Olympics are in real trouble now

Position 16, 11 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.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Baba Schlupp breaks a bone — 32 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Joe Cole Mbella signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joe Cole Mbella commits to Great Olympics for another 4 years.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Jesús Guillén is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 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.

Liberty Professionals join the queue for Osafo Antwi

Add another name to the list: Liberty Professionals have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Osafo Antwi. The answer from Great Olympics has not changed — yet.

Carlos Ohene 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.
