The VPS Chronicle
Boardroom16 Apr 2029
VPS part company with Paulus Ojala
The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.
The terraces16 Apr 2029
Supporters organise against the VPS 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 knee injury of the worst kind for Yassin Daoussi
111 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. VPS lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market16 Apr 2029
Jayden Turfkruier asks to leave VPS
“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 dugout16 Apr 2029
Will Wilson says VPS went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Onni Hamalainen minds the shop at VPS
“I am not thinking past Saturday, and I would advise nobody else to.” The caretaker’s first rule is to pretend the job is small; Onni Hamalainen recited it perfectly.
Match14 Apr 2029
No end in sight to VPS's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at VPS has to find a result from somewhere.
Boardroom16 Apr 2029
6 academy graduates step up at VPS
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
Transfer targets16 Apr 2029
VPS rebuffed over Eero Vuorjoki
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Inter Turku have kept their man, and VPS go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
