The silence upstairs is getting loud at Liberty Professionals
Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Andre Addo asks to leave Liberty Professionals
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

David Inusah and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Felix Kyereh knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Felix Kyereh trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
