Squad23 Oct 2028

The knee: Abraham Kudus out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. New Edubiase United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

A brace, and Michael Quarcoo takes the afternoon — 8.41

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Michael Quarcoo provided it, and the 8.41 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad23 Oct 2028

George Micheal keeps New Edubiase United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

Nobody could get near Michael Zuo

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad23 Oct 2028

Frank Appiah in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New Edubiase United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad23 Oct 2028

A row about effort at New Edubiase United

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

Match21 Oct 2028

Ashanti Gold snatch it back from New Edubiase United

A goal on 87 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

The dugout23 Oct 2028

Jessimy Domingos 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.

Match21 Oct 2028

New Edubiase United share the spoils with Ashanti Gold

A 3‑3 draw with Ashanti Gold leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market7 Feb 2028

Michael Quarcoo says no to Great Olympics

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Michael Quarcoo had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

New Edubiase United spell it out for Joseph Partey

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Joseph Partey has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Abraham Kudus breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

Ebuka Okeke, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.68

A mark of 7.68 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Transfer targets7 Feb 2028

$4.0K settles it between the clubs for Osafo Antwi

Great Olympics have accepted the money. What New Edubiase United do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market7 Feb 2028

Andrew Owusu asks to leave New Edubiase United

“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.

The dugout7 Feb 2028

Emmanuel Yeboah frozen out at New Edubiase United

This is not rotation. Emmanuel Yeboah has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at New Edubiase United is pretending otherwise.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Deadline passes with 3 signed and 4 gone

That is the business done at New Edubiase United until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Emmanuel Kotei gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Emmanuel Kotei has just signed for New Edubiase United, and for once the answer mattered.

The terraces31 Jan 2028

Anger at New Edubiase United 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.

Boardroom31 Jan 2028

The silence upstairs is getting loud at New Edubiase United

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

Squad31 Jan 2028

Abraham Kudus breaks a bone — 22 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 22 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market31 Jan 2028

Chris Masinza asks to leave New Edubiase United

“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 targets31 Jan 2028

No thanks: Kwadwo Partey rejects the move

New Edubiase United had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Wa All Stars, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Player ratings31 Jan 2028

Nobody could get near Yaw Amankwa

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Tempers go at New Edubiase United

Emmanuel Yeboah 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.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Words at New Edubiase United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adams Hamadu 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.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

George Micheal 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

29 days out for Abraham Kudus after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. New Edubiase United will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad24 Jan 2028

A one-man rearguard from George Micheal

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market24 Jan 2028

Enock Afram 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 New Edubiase United, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

Andrew Owusu keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” New Edubiase United may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at New Edubiase United

Emmanuel Yeboah 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Words at New Edubiase United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adams Hamadu 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.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

The manager makes an example of Adams Hamadu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match22 Jan 2028

Asante Kotoko take the points off New Edubiase United

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

Joseph Partey: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
