Supporters turn on the $570.0K sale of David Krch
He is going to Zbrojovka Brno, the club has $570.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Sparta Prague tell České Budějovice: Elias Cobbaut 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.

České Budějovice bid $890.0K for Jakub Kolář
The offer went to Zlin this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Matúš Kmeť will not be coming to České Budějovice
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Banik Ostrava is saying, and nobody at České Budějovice is enjoying the guessing.

David Krch moves on
Zbrojovka Brno pay $570.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

5 academy graduates step up at České Budějovice
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.

Milan Jirásek falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

České Budějovice promote Jakub Soucek from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jakub Soucek has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
