The terraces

Anger at Novi Pazar spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom

Novi Pazar spell it out for Aleksandar Rajkovic

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

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Novi Pazar boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad

A fracture rules Miloje Preković out for 64 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Novi Pazar will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Jovan Marinković asks to leave Novi Pazar

“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

Tempers go at Novi Pazar

Driton Camaj 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Predrag Tadic at Novi Pazar

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Predrag Tadic is 14, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Dominic Sadi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Dominic Sadi and Novi Pazar agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom

Novi Pazar sign 6 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

In brief
