Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Kun Khalifat

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

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Calvin Omeruo

15 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Kun Khalifat lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Chijioke Ahiaeke asks to leave Kun Khalifat

“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.

Squad

Chinonso Romanus 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 Kun Khalifat this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Kun Khalifat training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Lekan 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.

Squad

Kun Khalifat count the cost of losing Aissa Belkebla

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

The terraces

The mood at Kun Khalifat 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.

Squad

Calvin Omeruo damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 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.

Market

Emmanuel Ajibola asks to leave Kun Khalifat

“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.

Squad

Words at Kun Khalifat training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Lekan 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.

Match

Kun Khalifat come up short against Plateau United

Plateau United left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Jerry Ogu signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jerry Ogu commits to Kun Khalifat for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Kun Khalifat

Chijioke Ahiaeke 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.

Market

Onuorah Onyedika placed on the list

Kun Khalifat have made Onuorah Onyedika available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Market

Kun Khalifat pick up Yegor Bocharov for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Yegor Bocharov arrives at Kun Khalifat with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.
