From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Siebe Schrijvers puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at OH Leuven, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Dante Rigo keeps the receipts

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

Market

OH Leuven say no — this time

The offer from Standard Liege for Kyan Vaesen 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.

Transfer targets

OH Leuven rebuffed over Ortwin De Wolf

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. KV Mechelen have kept their man, and OH Leuven go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Boardroom

OH Leuven tie Charles Doku down

A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Transfer targets

Timothy Alderweireld will not be coming to OH Leuven

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Club Brugge is saying, and nobody at OH Leuven is enjoying the guessing.

Match

4 matches without a win for OH Leuven

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around OH Leuven are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words exchanged at OH Leuven

Óscar Gil and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at OH Leuven

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

In brief
