The Exeter City Courier
Match21 Aug 2027
No end in sight to Exeter City's wait for a win
13 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Exeter City has to find a result from somewhere.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bruno Fernández
106 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Exeter City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Exeter City baulk at the price for Caleb Okoli
Leicester City wanted more than $5.0M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
An offer of $1.6M for Jefferson Lerma
Exeter City have gone to Crystal Palace 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.

The paperwork begins on Pedro Lima
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Exeter City have done the hard part with Wolverhampton, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
Graduation day at Exeter City
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.

Aston Villa tell Exeter City: Oliwier Zych 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.
Squad23 Aug 2027
Words exchanged at Exeter City
Ismael Cabrera and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Market23 Aug 2027
Exeter City promote Peter Bell from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Peter Bell 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.
