The dugout12 Oct 2026

Joonas Vahtera says VPS 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.

Akon Kuek has one foot out of the door

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

Squad12 Oct 2026

Home is on Emmanuel Okereke's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; VPS are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at VPS

Simon van Duivenbooden 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.

13 new faces, and VPS are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Guðmann Þórisson is a square peg at VPS

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Josep Nuorela

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

The dugout12 Oct 2026

A promise honoured at VPS

Something was said to Arttu Tulehmo and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Vilmer Rönnberg knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at VPS, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match1 Oct 2026

A European lesson for VPS

1‑2 against Lokomotiva Zagreb. Continental football is unforgiving about the things a domestic league lets a side get away with, and this was a night spent finding out which of those the club still has.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Aleksi Piispa stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Up for the corner, and Paulo Lima delivers — 7.07

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Paulo Lima scored, was marked 7.07, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Simon van Duivenbooden 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 VPS know it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at VPS

Simon van Duivenbooden 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.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Simon van Duivenbooden

“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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Guðmann Þórisson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Guðmann Þórisson commits to VPS for another 1 years.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Rasmus Jensen answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

No place for Will Wilson on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at VPS pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.
