A hiding for Altach

Rapid Wien come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Altach did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Dejan Stojanović stands alone
7 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.

Altach sell a favourite for $700.0K
The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Ousmane Diawara was one of the reasons people came, and $700.0K does not replace that by itself.

The paperwork begins on Lukas Laimer
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Altach have done the hard part with Mattersburg, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Altach sell Ousmane Diawara for $700.0K
Ousmane Diawara has left for Austria Wien in a $700.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Patrick Greil signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Patrick Greil commits to Altach for another 3 years.

Mike-Steven Bähre 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.

Patrick Greil 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 Altach this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
