Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Sandefjord

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Sandefjord is running low.

Market

Håkon Volden 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 The request is on a desk at Sandefjord, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Sandefjord

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

Squad

Words at Sandefjord training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Noa Williams 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.

The dugout

Moi Parra 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

The Elias Hadaya story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Elias Hadaya signs something — a contract at Sandefjord or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market

Denis Kahrimanović asks to leave Sandefjord

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Words at Sandefjord training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marius Nordal 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.

The dugout

Elias Sandøy Myrvågnes 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 falling-out at Sandefjord

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

Market

The Sander Risan Mørk talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Sandefjord know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Marius Nordal 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 Sandefjord, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

A season on the outside for Noa Williams

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Sandefjord has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

The dugout

Ole Aanvik Wingsternæs gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Ole Aanvik Wingsternæs is on it.

The dugout

A door opens for Riley Harbottle

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Market

Denis Kahrimanović 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 Sandefjord, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Kevin André Dæhlin

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Sandefjord have done the hard part with Stromsgodset, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match

Nobody wants to play Sandefjord right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Franklin Nyenetue 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 Sandefjord this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Albert Heyde would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Albert Heyde is living that version at Sandefjord, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

A row about effort at Sandefjord

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

Boardroom

Sandefjord agree a free transfer for Jerry Ogbole

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Halldor Stenevik

Sandefjord asked and Molde said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Franklin Nyenetue sends Sandefjord past Bryne

It finished 2‑1, and it was Franklin Nyenetue’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Sandefjord.
