The terraces18 Jun 2029

Supporters organise against the Aswan 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.

Boardroom18 Jun 2029

Pressure builds in the Aswan boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market18 Jun 2029

Abdallah El Mohamady asks to leave Aswan

“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.

Transfer targets18 Jun 2029

No thanks: Mahmoud Labib rejects the move

Aswan had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Al Ahly, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets18 Jun 2029

Aswan baulk at the price for Hassan Saber

Al Gaish wanted more than $130.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets18 Jun 2029

Aswan rebuffed over Fábio Duarte

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Zamalek have kept their man, and Aswan go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Words at Aswan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ahmed Ibrahim 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.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Words exchanged at Aswan

Mostafa Anani 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.

Transfer targets18 Jun 2029

Aswan try to borrow Mahmoud Labib

Al Ahly have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Match11 Jun 2029

Aswan sink to position 16

24 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Transfer targets11 Jun 2029

Al Ahly tell Aswan: Ahmed Eid 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.

Transfer targets11 Jun 2029

No thanks: Reindorf Huncho rejects the move

Aswan had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Al Ahly, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets11 Jun 2029

Aswan make their move for Hassan Saber

$130.0K on the table at Al Gaish. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad11 Jun 2029

Words exchanged at Aswan

Raphael Ayagwa 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.

Squad11 Jun 2029

Victor Okoro 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.

Squad11 Jun 2029

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Fathy Fathy

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Aswan will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

The dugout11 Jun 2029

The manager has not finished forgetting Victor Okoro's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Aswan try to borrow Mahmoud Labib

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.

Boardroom26 Feb 2029

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Aswan

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market26 Feb 2029

Cyriaque Sylla 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 Aswan, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Words exchanged at Aswan

Ahmed Ibrahim 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.

Squad26 Feb 2029

A row about effort at Aswan

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Baron Ochieng was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Home is on Alexis Alvez's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Aswan are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout26 Feb 2029

Victor Okoro left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Victor Okoro will call it something else in private.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Ali Elneny stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ali Elneny and Aswan agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout26 Feb 2029

Half-satisfied: Trezeguet Sobhi on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Emad Ashour
  • The dugout The plan did not have a place for Victor Okoro
  • Match Point won or two lost for Aswan?
