The Orel Courier
Match11 Sep 2027
No end in sight to Orel's wait for a win
9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Orel has to find a result from somewhere.
Market13 Sep 2027
Georgy Borisov 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 Orel can pretend not to have heard.
Match13 Sep 2027
Orel sink to position 13
4 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.
Boardroom13 Sep 2027
Window shuts: 13 in, 10 out at Orel
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 13 arrived, 10 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.
Transfer targets13 Sep 2027
Gavriil Avdeev is a medical away from Orel
The deal with Tyumen is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Boardroom13 Sep 2027
The numbers do not look good at Orel
Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.
Transfer targets13 Sep 2027
Nizhniy Novgorod tell Orel: Semyon Fadeev 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.
Squad13 Sep 2027
Words at Orel training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Georgy Borisov 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.
In brief
