Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Vasas boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $390.0K sale of Gergő Bánfalvi

He is going to Honved, the club has $390.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Squad

Vasas lose Máté Ódor

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

Squad

János Galambos 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 Vasas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Vasas sell Gergő Bánfalvi for $390.0K

Gergő Bánfalvi has left for Honved in a $390.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

MTK Budapest watching Vilmos Jován

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Vasas have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Sándor Hidi M. 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 The request is on a desk at Vasas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

No end in sight to Vasas's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Vasas has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Bence Pávkovics: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Vasas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

A bad afternoon for Vasas against Honved

0‑1 to Honved, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Balázs Rácz falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Vasas lose Máté Kohut

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

Match

Vasas taken apart

0‑3 to Debrecen, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Sándor Hidi M. 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 Vasas, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 29 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Csaba Molnár keeps the receipts

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

Squad

András Radó 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 Vasas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Patrick Iyinbor

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Patrick Iyinbor, and the manager let it.

Squad

Words at Vasas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ábel Krajcsovics 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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Vasas

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Player ratings

Milán Tóth runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Botond Baráth damages knee ligaments — 106 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 106 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

Botond Baráth 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 Vasas, and it is not being withdrawn.

14 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Vasas come up short in Europe

0‑1 away to the standard of Casa Pia. Nobody will pretend this was a scandal; the gap is real, it is measurable, and closing it is a project rather than a team talk.

Player ratings

Age has not caught András Radó yet — 8.41

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.41 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Vasas lose Victor Gey

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

Squad

András Radó 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 Vasas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Bence Banó-Szabó falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch

Gergő Bánfalvi wants to come home

“I did not go to Bekescsaba to sit and watch. I want to come back to Vasas and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 17 matches say the rest.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Máté Ódor

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Honours even between Vasas and Diosgyor

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Milán Tóth

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

7 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Bence Pávkovics says Vasas 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.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Alexandr Koksharov at 21 — 7.78

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Alexandr Koksharov did not need any: 7.78, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at Vasas

Alexandr Koksharov 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Jozef Urblik

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jozef Urblik, and the manager let it.

Match

Vasas get the job done against Puskas Akademia

A 1‑0 win over Puskas Akademia, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Words at Vasas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patrick Iyinbor 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Victor Gey

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

Match

13 matches without a win for Vasas

The run now stands at 13, and the questions being asked around Vasas are no longer polite ones.

Match

A chastening European night for Vasas

0‑6 against Real Madrid. The honest reading is not that the players were poor; it is that the distance between this club and that one is currently measured in things money takes years to buy.

Squad

Tempers go at Vasas

András Radó 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.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Vasas and Real Madrid in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match

Bekescsaba take the points off Vasas

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

András Radó 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.

Squad

A long afternoon for Zsombor Molnár

Beaten 6 times, with 5 saves for company. Goalkeepers carry these scorelines on their record whoever actually caused them, which is the quiet injustice of the job.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Vasas dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Nowhere to hide for Vasas

1‑4 against Haladas, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Match

The wait goes on for Vasas

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 27 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Player ratings

Jozef Urblik goes up and wins it — 7.92

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.92 for the rest of it.

Squad

Bálint Faragó: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Vasas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Alexandr Koksharov 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 Vasas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
