The Heidenheim Chronicle
Boardroom7 Nov 2033
The scrutiny sharpens at Heidenheim
Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Heidenheim is running low.
Match5 Nov 2033
6 matches without a win for Heidenheim
The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Heidenheim are no longer polite ones.
Squad7 Nov 2033
Tempers go at Heidenheim
Julian Niehues 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.
Squad7 Nov 2033
Words at Heidenheim training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Deniz Ertaş is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Makana Baku gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Match5 Nov 2033
A bad afternoon for Heidenheim against TSG Hoffenheim
0‑1 to TSG Hoffenheim, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Squad7 Nov 2033
Heidenheim pick somebody else ahead of Jakob Bonde
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The Deniz Ertaş story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Deniz Ertaş signs something — a contract at Heidenheim or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
Boardroom7 Nov 2033
Heidenheim pull $11.2M back off the table
The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.
In brief
- Market Deian Verón runs his contract down
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Paul Hennrich
- Market Gregor Herrmann leaves for nothing
