Boardroom

Mgarr United part company with Manuel Dimech

The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

Boardroom

An empty coaching office at Mgarr United

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 Thierry

There were 8 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.

Boardroom

Interim Coach steps up at Mgarr United 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Aleksandar Trenkov

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Aleksandar Trenkov will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Mgarr United the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Matthew Mifsud 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 Mgarr United can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Squad

Mgarr United lose Cristhyan

18 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

A falling-out at Mgarr United

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

In brief
