Squad7 Jan 2036

A knee injury of the worst kind for Paulo Nogueira

31 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Ferroviário lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom7 Jan 2036

Ferroviário put Interim Coach on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market7 Jan 2036

Paulo Pereira 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 The request is on a desk at Ferroviário, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Lucas Pérez gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Lucas Pérez has just signed for Ferroviário, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom7 Jan 2036

Belts tighten at Ferroviário

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Transfer targets7 Jan 2036

Door shut on Vinícius Dias

Ferroviário asked and Santa Cruz said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Words at Ferroviário training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cadu 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.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Tempers go at Ferroviário

Renan Carlos 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.

Market7 Jan 2036

Fera attracts admirers

The name of Fera has come up in conversations Ferroviário were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad15 Oct 2035

Ignacio Flores in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ferroviário this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 Oct 2035

A move Comandante would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Comandante is living that version at Ferroviário, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom15 Oct 2035

The numbers do not look good at Ferroviário

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

The dugout15 Oct 2035

Alemão 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.

Squad15 Oct 2035

Fera stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Fera and Ferroviário agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad15 Oct 2035

Too much change too quickly at Ferroviário

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout15 Oct 2035

Santino Gori asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market15 Oct 2035

Gaku Kubo told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Gaku Kubo has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Ferroviário.

Market15 Oct 2035

Ignacio Flores linked with a move away

The name of Ignacio Flores keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Ferroviário say nothing, which says plenty.
