Boardroom

The caretaker keeps it: Interim Coach confirmed

A month of looking elsewhere ended where it started. He already knows every name in the building; the rest of it he now has to prove in public.

Match

ADO Den Haag sink to position 17

16 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

The dugout

Milan Hokke keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” ADO Den Haag may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Jordy Clasie wants more than ADO Den Haag are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Market

Only the photograph left for Cameron Peupion

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Cameron Peupion will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around ADO Den Haag the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Kilian Nikiéma 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 ADO Den Haag this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at ADO Den Haag training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mark Diemers 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Marouane Sebbar

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

No place for Mylian Jimenez in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Mylian Jimenez has his answer from ADO Den Haag; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

In brief
