The Altach Courier
Match25 Aug 2027
Altach out of the cup
Blau-Weiß Linz ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.
Market30 Aug 2027
Srđan Hrstić hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Altach can pretend not to have heard.

Altach say no — this time
The offer from Hartberg for Srđan Hrstić was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Travis de Jong: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Altach have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Transfer targets30 Aug 2027
$840.0K settles it between the clubs for Manuel Thurnwald
Hertha Wels have accepted the money. What Altach do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

A cup embarrassment at Blau-Weiß Linz follows Altach home
0-3. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.
Boardroom30 Aug 2027
Altach go back to the board over Manuel Thurnwald
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $855.0K — a club that wants Manuel Thurnwald enough to be asked twice.
Squad30 Aug 2027
A falling-out at Altach
Patrick Greil and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Darko Brašanac 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.
In brief
- Transfer targets Altach rebuffed over Daniil Fomin

- Squad 100 appearances for Salif Tietietta
