Boardroom24 Jan 2033

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Triglav Kranj

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market24 Jan 2033

Kaloyan Pulev 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 Triglav Kranj can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout24 Jan 2033

Tomas Lloyd keeps the receipts

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

Match22 Jan 2033

4 matches without a win for Triglav Kranj

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

Transfer targets24 Jan 2033

Too dear: Triglav Kranj walk away from Andraz Stojanovic

$4.0K was the most the club would pay and Nafta 1903 were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets24 Jan 2033

Mura tell Triglav Kranj: Andraz Verbic is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad24 Jan 2033

Words at Triglav Kranj training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Viktor Ergin 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.

Boardroom24 Jan 2033

Wages swallow 145% of the Triglav Kranj income

Every club 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 it has been tried.

Squad24 Jan 2033

Triglav Kranj lose Benjamin Birsa

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

Boardroom27 Dec 2032

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Triglav Kranj

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market27 Dec 2032

Zack Braverman is on his way

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

The dugout27 Dec 2032

Mikael Ekdal says Triglav Kranj went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad27 Dec 2032

Words exchanged at Triglav Kranj

Bujazid Hegić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad27 Dec 2032

Words at Triglav Kranj training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enej Marsetič 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.

Boardroom27 Dec 2032

Wages eat 156% of everything Triglav Kranj earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad27 Dec 2032

Triglav Kranj count the cost of losing Benjamin Birsa

45 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad27 Dec 2032

50 goals in the shirt for Enej Marsetič

50 for the club now, each one filed in somebody’s memory with a date and a scoreline. Numbers like this are what supporters argue about in twenty years.

Boardroom27 Dec 2032

The borrowing at Triglav Kranj reaches $16.5M

Past the limit the bank set, which is the line between a club being financed and a club being in trouble. $16.5M is now the number every conversation about this club will start with.
