The terraces8 Aug 2033

The mood at Wisla Krakow has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad8 Aug 2033

50 days out for Noah Mrosek after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Wisla Krakow will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market8 Aug 2033

Terms done: Patrik Prodanović is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Korona waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Wisla Krakow is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Match6 Aug 2033

Wisla Krakow taken apart

0‑3 to Zaglebie, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market8 Aug 2033

Jacky Donkor 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 Wisla Krakow can pretend not to have heard.

Market8 Aug 2033

Igor Nolewajka is on his way

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

Match6 Aug 2033

No end in sight to Wisla Krakow's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Wisla Krakow has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout8 Aug 2033

Thomas Cooper keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Wisla Krakow may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets8 Aug 2033

Roman Egan-Riley due for a Wisla Krakow medical

Everything agreed with Universitatea Craiova, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces18 Apr 2033

Supporters organise against the Wisla Krakow board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market18 Apr 2033

Fedor Stanislavich 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 Wisla Krakow, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market18 Apr 2033

Igor Nolewajka is on his way

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

Squad18 Apr 2033

A falling-out at Wisla Krakow

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

Squad18 Apr 2033

A row about effort at Wisla Krakow

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Darijo Grujčić was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout18 Apr 2033

No hiding place for Amadou Coundoul

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Amadou Coundoul, and the manager let it.

Boardroom18 Apr 2033

95% of the income goes out in wages at Wisla Krakow

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Market18 Apr 2033

Elliot Mahama Appring told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Elliot Mahama Appring has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Wisla Krakow.

Market18 Apr 2033

The Darijo Grujčić talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Wisla Krakow know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

In brief
