Victor Backman is on his way

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

Gustav Thörn 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.

A falling-out at Sandviken

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

Karl Bohm 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.

No hiding place for Mohammed Sadat Abubakari

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

John Kitolano linked with a move away

The name of John Kitolano keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Sandviken say nothing, which says plenty.

Market7 Sep 2026

Only the photograph left for Victor Backman

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Victor Backman will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sandviken the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Sandviken to lose Victor Backman for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Victor Backman has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Moussa Diallo 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Fabian Andersson 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 Sandviken this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market7 Sep 2026

Sandviken and Gustav Thörn are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad7 Sep 2026

8 new faces, and Sandviken 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.

Alan Carleton slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Alan Carleton is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Mohammed Mahammed

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

Market7 Sep 2026

The clock does Gustav Thörn’s negotiating for him

4 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Sandviken could ask drops and the wages Gustav Thörn can ask rise.
