The Carrarese Sentinel

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mattia Finotto
21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Carrarese lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Boardroom28 Jan 2030
Pressure builds in the Carrarese boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Fabio Abiuso hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Carrarese can pretend not to have heard.
Player ratings28 Jan 2030
Both of them Fabio Abiuso's — 9.08
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.08, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Hellas Verona come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Carrarese did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market28 Jan 2030
Manuel Scacchi is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Carrarese is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Match26 Jan 2030
No end in sight to Carrarese's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Carrarese has to find a result from somewhere.

Carrarese lose Julián Illanes
45 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Torino join the queue for David Vujević
Add another name to the list: Torino have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about David Vujević. The answer from Carrarese has not changed — yet.
In brief
- Boardroom Teodoro Colombo has agreed to leave Carrarese for nothing
