The Spartak 1918 Post

16 Jul 2029
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom

Spartak 1918 part company with Stefan Tsvetanov

The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

Boardroom

Vasil Nedelev minds the shop at Spartak 1918

“I am not thinking past Saturday, and I would advise nobody else to.” The caretaker’s first rule is to pretend the job is small; Vasil Nedelev recited it perfectly.

Market

Filipe Quintas asks to leave Spartak 1918

“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

The step up is real for Emiliyan Gogev

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Late improvement for Nikolay Mikov

At 24 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Spartak 1918

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.

Transfer targets

Spartak 1918 rebuffed over Jan Hruša

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Dobrudzha have kept their man, and Spartak 1918 go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A row about effort at Spartak 1918

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tsvetelin Chunchukov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Kiril Tunchev steps up from the Spartak 1918 academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kiril Tunchev has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
