Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Campobasso

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market

Antonello Serra is on his way

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

Match

Campobasso come up short against Ternana

Ternana left with the points after a 0-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Alessandro Martina 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.

Market

Roberto Pierno runs his contract down

3 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Campobasso money.

Squad

Francesco Cerretelli asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Roberto Pierno 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.

Match

Bra take the points off Campobasso

Beaten 0-1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The shirt belongs to Thomas Pledl now

At 32 he has made the position his own, and the man he took it from has to find something to say about it. Campobasso have a decision that made itself.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Joe Lumley

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Thomas Pledl

“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

Campobasso and Arezzo cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Arezzo came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad

Thomas Pledl out for 14 days

The medical room confirms 14 days on the sidelines for Thomas Pledl, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Claudio Cristallo 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.

Match

Campobasso and Pineto take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
