A falling-out at Hertha Wels
Tolga Günes and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at Hertha Wels
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ivan Bašić was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Lukas Lainer steps up from the Hertha Wels academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lukas Lainer has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Leon Bätge 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.

Lazar Majstorović signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lazar Majstorović and Hertha Wels agree another 4 years.

Hertha Wels buy the years ahead of Lazar Majstorović
He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

The formation has left Peter Tschernegg behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Hertha Wels will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

A door opens for Leon Klußmann
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Still no ink between Hertha Wels and Peter Tschernegg
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Hertha Wels, another week without a signature from Peter Tschernegg.
