Market

William Le Pogam 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 The request is on a desk at Yverdon, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Francesco Gallea Beidi says Yverdon 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Yverdon

Varol Tasar 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.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Yverdon

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.

Match

Yverdon make home a hard place to visit

9 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Transfer targets

Yverdon rebuffed over Gabriel Sigua

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Basel have kept their man, and Yverdon go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Yverdon see off Rapperswil-Jona

Three points for Yverdon, 2‑0 the final word against Rapperswil-Jona in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

One of our own: Ivo Gavranovic joins the Yverdon first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ivo Gavranovic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Loris Rodriguez steps up from the Yverdon academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Loris Rodriguez 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.

In brief
