Boardroom

St. Pölten 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.

Boardroom

Crisis meeting at St. Pölten

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Market

St. Pölten say no — this time

The offer from Rapid Wien for Leonardo Tavares was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Edoardo Biondini has one foot out of the door

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

Transfer targets

St. Pölten make their move for Patrick Laimer

$680.0K on the table at Rapid Wien. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom

St. Pölten to lose Felipe Anso for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Felipe Anso has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Transfer targets

St. Pölten make their move for Tomislav Glavan

$220.0K on the table at Austria Wien. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Helmut Thomas arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Helmut Thomas has, at St. Pölten, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Words at St. Pölten training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Edoardo Biondini 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.

In brief
