From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Jovan Ćirić puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Stripfing, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Julian Lazaro keeps Stripfing in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Josip Silić has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Stripfing they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout

Ronan Darcy frozen out at Stripfing

This is not rotation. Ronan Darcy has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Stripfing is pretending otherwise.

Match

4 matches without a win for Stripfing

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Stripfing are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

6 academy graduates step up at Stripfing

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

Paul Komposch 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

Tempers go at Stripfing

Leandro Suhr 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.

Transfer targets

Red Bull Salzburg tell Stripfing: Leandro Morgalla is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

In brief
