Oliver Huuhka is out at JIPPO
Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Supporters organise against the JIPPO 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.

A stranger takes charge at JIPPO
The coaching staff has emptied out entirely and there was nobody internal to promote, so the club has appointed a name almost none of its supporters will recognise. Clubs recover from this; none of them enjoy explaining it.

Nuutti Tykkyläinen 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 The request is on a desk at JIPPO, and it is not being withdrawn.

Eemeli Honkola: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” JIPPO have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

A fracture rules Atte Kivelä out for 33 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason JIPPO will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Interim Coach takes charge at JIPPO
“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

Terrence Smith is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at JIPPO is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Tempers go at JIPPO
Juho Lehtiranta 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.
