Squad

Uba Charles breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom

Aalesund spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Boardroom

Crisis meeting at Aalesund

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Squad

Bobby Yahouedeou has been here 12 seasons

99 appearances across 12 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad

Tomás Migliore wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Aalesund know it.

Squad

Tempers go at Aalesund

Uba Charles 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.

Boardroom

Aalesund put Interim Coach on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Boardroom

The Aalesund board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Squad

Uba Charles stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Uba Charles and Aalesund agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Ólafur Guðmundsson 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 Aalesund this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Thomas Smits falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

The manager's exit leaves Tomás Migliore exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Tomás Migliore is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.

Squad

Vincenzo Millico breaks a bone — 62 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 62 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Johnny Emerson falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Tromso take the points off Aalesund

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Sebastian Hansen

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Market

Patrick Ryerson told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Patrick Ryerson has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Aalesund.
