Market23 Apr 2035

Only the photograph left for Mikołaj Kotarba

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mikołaj Kotarba will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Hermannstadt the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad23 Apr 2035

Tempers go at Hermannstadt

Danijel Kolarić 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.

Squad23 Apr 2035

A row about effort at Hermannstadt

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nikita Plotnikov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout23 Apr 2035

Claudiu Petrila has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hermannstadt will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Boardroom23 Apr 2035

Hermannstadt counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Hermannstadt now.

Market23 Apr 2035

The Martin Auerbach question follows Hermannstadt around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Martin Auerbach’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market23 Apr 2035

The clock does Marek Icha’s negotiating for him

1 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Hermannstadt could ask drops and the wages Marek Icha can ask rise.

Match23 Apr 2035

Hermannstadt have something to play for

Position 4 on 47 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

Loan watch23 Apr 2035

Adam Čadek first choice at Metaloglobus Bucharest

30 starts and a season average of 7.24. The loan is doing exactly what it was arranged to do.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match4 Apr 2035

Hermannstadt bow out of the cup

FCSB go through and Hermannstadt go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market9 Apr 2035

Marek Icha is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Hermannstadt is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad9 Apr 2035

David Miculescu signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” David Miculescu commits to Hermannstadt for another 2 years.

Squad9 Apr 2035

A falling-out at Hermannstadt

Danijel Kolarić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad9 Apr 2035

Hagan Frimpong reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad9 Apr 2035

Daniil Utkin is slowing down

At 35, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Loan watch9 Apr 2035

The goals keep arriving from Kenneth Simons’s exile

10 goals in 36 games at CSM Reșița — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Hermannstadt updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout9 Apr 2035

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Francisco Torres left the room before anybody could ask which.

Market9 Apr 2035

Talks stall between Hermannstadt and Marek Icha

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

In brief
