Boardroom

Ma Fan is out at Wuhan Three Towns

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Squad

The knee: Kei Uchiyama out for 43 days

43 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Wuhan Three Towns lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Boardroom

Wu Chenglong steps up at Wuhan Three Towns for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

The dugout

Chen Quanjiang: 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.” Wuhan Three Towns have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Feng Boxuan has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Wuhan Three Towns they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at Wuhan Three Towns

Gustavo Sauer 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 players handed senior numbers at Wuhan Three Towns

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Abduhaimit 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.

Match

Wuhan Three Towns come up short against Shandong Taishan

Shandong Taishan left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

In brief
