Boardroom12 Aug 2030

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Stade Rennais

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market12 Aug 2030

Stade Rennais turn down Nimes for Bingourou Kamara

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad12 Aug 2030

Ludovic Blas 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 Stade Rennais this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market12 Aug 2030

The Karl Steinmann conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Angers SCO will make the call about Karl Steinmann this week. Stade Rennais have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market12 Aug 2030

Valentin Rongier linked with a move away

The name of Valentin Rongier keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Stade Rennais say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad12 Aug 2030

Benjamin Hall gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Mahdi Camara in a row with a teammate

Squad22 Jul 2030

The manager makes an example of Albert Grønbæk

“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.

Market22 Jul 2030

Stade Lavallois expected to open talks for Mehdi Husson

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Stade Rennais will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Alidu Seidu 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 Stade Rennais this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad30 Apr 2029

Home is on Karl Steinmann's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Stade Rennais are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Loan watch30 Apr 2029

Eliezer Mayenda counts the days

“I watch every Stade Rennais game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Stade Brestois runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match19 Feb 2029

Every point is an argument now for Stade Rennais

Position 17 and 19 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Defences have started doubling up on Mahdi Camara

14 goals and a season average of 7.77 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Market19 Feb 2029

Panos Katseris 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 Stade Rennais can pretend not to have heard.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Brice Samba keeps Stade Rennais in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Tempers go at Stade Rennais

Breel Embolo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match17 Feb 2029

Albert Grønbæk sends Stade Rennais past Chamois Niortais

It finished 3‑2, and it was Albert Grønbæk’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Stade Rennais.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

A masterclass from Mahdi Camara

Marked 9.41 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Lilian Brassier gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

One of those days for Albert Grønbæk

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.87, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
