Match12 Oct 2030

The wait goes on for Mouscron

19 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The terraces14 Oct 2030

Supporters organise against the Mouscron 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.

Match12 Oct 2030

Mouscron taken apart

1‑4 to Charleroi, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad14 Oct 2030

Tempers go at Mouscron

Lois De Bruyne 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.

Squad14 Oct 2030

Michy Mignolet 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.

The dugout14 Oct 2030

Daniel Keller 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.

Boardroom14 Oct 2030

Inquest at Mouscron

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad14 Oct 2030

Jan Klein signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jan Klein and Mouscron agree another 4 years.

The dugout14 Oct 2030

Interim Coach answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑4, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The terraces22 Jul 2030

Anger at Mouscron spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom22 Jul 2030

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Mouscron

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

Market22 Jul 2030

Guillaume De Schryver hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mouscron can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets22 Jul 2030

Harvey Cartwright due for a Mouscron medical

Everything agreed with Standard Liege, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Tempers go at Mouscron

Lois De Bruyne 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.

Squad22 Jul 2030

Jan Klein is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.

Squad22 Jul 2030

Michy Mignolet 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.

Transfer targets22 Jul 2030

Dinamo Moscow tell Mouscron: Mohamed Konaté 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 targets22 Jul 2030

A loan move for Raffaele Huli is in the works

Mouscron have made the call to Juventus. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
