The Pohronie Chronicle
Market26 Jun 2034
Ritchy Boe Bozeme 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 Pohronie can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at Pohronie
Maxence Renoud 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.

Words at Pohronie training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ritchy Boe Bozeme is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Albert Kucka gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Joel Carrillo wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Pohronie know it.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2034
A loan move for Lukas Rusnak is in the works
Pohronie have made the call to MFK Michalovce. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The Maxence Renoud talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Pohronie know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Ruben Khachatryan gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Ruben Khachatryan is on it.
