Squad

The knee: Thomas Arnautovic out for 29 days

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

Squad

A fracture rules David Baumgartner out for 19 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Stripfing will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Richmond Tachie is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Stripfing is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Andreas Wimmer asks to leave Stripfing

“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.

Market

Boulaye Dia wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Stripfing hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Lenn Jastremski

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Stripfing have done the hard part with Rapid Wien, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Anrie Chase turns down Stripfing

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Red Bull Salzburg keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Match

4 matches without a win for Stripfing

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Stripfing are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

Richmond Tachie signs for LASK while still at Stripfing

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Richmond Tachie has agreed terms with LASK for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Boardroom

Stefan Lienhart is out at Stripfing

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: Thomas Arnautovic out for 36 days

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

Boardroom

An empty coaching office at Stripfing

There is nobody left to promote and nobody left to run a session. The board have brought in a name the supporters do not know, and the question of how a club gets here will outlast whoever answers it.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Julian Lazaro

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

A fracture rules David Baumgartner out for 26 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Stripfing will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom

Interim Coach minds the shop at Stripfing

“I am not thinking past Saturday, and I would advise nobody else to.” The caretaker’s first rule is to pretend the job is small; Interim Coach recited it perfectly.

Market

Florian Schlager asks to leave Stripfing

“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.

The dugout

Denizcan Cosgun: 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.” Stripfing have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Noah Andreas has one foot out of the door

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