The terraces

Supporters organise against the Le Havre AC board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Le Havre AC say no — this time

The offer from Montpellier HSC for Ayumu Seko was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Adama Niane asks to leave Le Havre AC

“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.

The dugout

Zacharie Boucher: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Le Havre AC have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Eneko Jauregi rejects the move

Le Havre AC had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Osasuna, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

A falling-out at Le Havre AC

Ayumu Seko and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

7 academy graduates step up at Le Havre AC

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.

Squad

Sofiane Boufal 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Marcos Antonio

Le Havre AC asked and LOSC Lille said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

In brief
