From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces

Supporters organise against the Paksi 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.

Squad

Roland Gazdag damages knee ligaments — 29 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 29 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Tobi Adeleke has one foot out of the door

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

Boardroom

Tobi Adeleke signs for Tiszakécske while still at Paksi

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Tobi Adeleke has agreed terms with Tiszakécske for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Leart Bekolli 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 Paksi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Paksi training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gergő Gyurkits 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.

Match

The drought breaks for Paksi

5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Budafoki MTE were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Market

Paksi promote Mate Nikolic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mate Nikolic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Laszlo Dibusz steps up from the Paksi academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Laszlo Dibusz has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
