The dugout23 Aug 2027
Largie Ramazani keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Burton Albion may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Market23 Aug 2027
Burton Albion say no — this time
The offer from Falkenberg for Jack Cooper-Love 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.
Player ratings23 Aug 2027
Stephen Mfuni, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.88
A mark of 7.88 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Kayne Ramsay will not be coming to Burton Albion
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Charlton Athletic is saying, and nobody at Burton Albion is enjoying the guessing.
Squad23 Aug 2027
Logan Briggs is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Tempers go at Burton Albion
Largie Ramazani 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.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
Graduation day at Burton Albion
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Leeds United tell Burton Albion: Sebastiaan Bornauw 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.
Match21 Aug 2027
Burton Albion get the job done against Stockport County
A 2‑1 win over Stockport County, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
