The Pro Patria Gazette

Pro Patria put Lorenzo Ranieri 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.

The Pro Patria board call everybody in
Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Samuel Monteiro asks to leave Pro Patria
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The Pro Patria board want somebody sold
The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Nicolò Camarda 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 Pro Patria this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The owner puts $475.3K into Pro Patria
This is money that keeps the lights on rather than money that buys a centre-half, and the difference is the whole story. A club funded by its owner rather than by its football has exactly one conversation left ahead of it.

Words at Pro Patria training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gerardo Marino 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.

Samuel Monteiro signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Samuel Monteiro commits to Pro Patria for another 4 years.

Hovhannes Adamyan wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Pro Patria know it.
In brief
- Market Pro Patria sign Peter Smith, one for the future
- Market Still no ink between Pro Patria and Peter Smith
- Market Vasyl Ohorodnyk leaves for nothing
