A knee injury of the worst kind for Mike-Steven Bähre
102 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Altach lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Clemente Mondaca 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 The request is on a desk at Altach, and it is not being withdrawn.

Altach go back to the board over Philip Weissenbacher
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $50.0K — a club that wants Philip Weissenbacher enough to be asked twice.

An offer of $43.0K for Philip Weissenbacher
Altach have gone to SV Ried with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Altach beat the market to Thorsten Schriebl from Austria Klagenfurt
Austria Klagenfurt will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Thorsten Schriebl has pre-agreed a move to Altach, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Home is on Bastián Contreras'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; Altach are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Altach sign Daniel Simoes, one for the future
Daniel Simoes is 16, and Altach have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
In brief
- The dugout Thomas Mayer gets it from the manager
- Market Christopher Wernitznig brings the grey hairs Altach lacked
- The dugout Darko Brašanac knocks on the manager’s door
