The Crewe Alexandra Chronicle
Squad21 Aug 2028
Owen Hayden-Taylor breaks a bone — 69 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 69 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Player ratings21 Aug 2028
Both of them Harry Ibbitson's — 8.23
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.23, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Boardroom21 Aug 2028
Crewe Alexandra go back to the board over Callum Maycock
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $378.2K — a club that wants Callum Maycock enough to be asked twice.
Boardroom21 Aug 2028
A new deal for Alexander Hughes
The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.
Transfer targets21 Aug 2028
An offer of $420.0K for Ollie Tanner
Crewe Alexandra have gone to Cardiff City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

A falling-out at Crewe Alexandra
Ishé Samuels-Smith and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom21 Aug 2028
5 academy graduates step up at Crewe Alexandra
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
Transfer targets21 Aug 2028
Door shut on Kallum Fuller-Thompson
Crewe Alexandra asked and Reading said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Crewe Alexandra promote Timothy Atkinson from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Timothy Atkinson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
