Squad

Filip Loftesnes-Bjune: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Sandefjord have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Olav Veum

“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.

Squad

Fredrik Pedersen 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.

Market

Evangelos Patoulidis hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sandefjord can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Elias Hadaya

“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

Viking take the points off Sandefjord

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

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Elias Hadaya

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Market

The Evangelos Patoulidis 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.

Squad

Edvard Pettersen 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

Jakob Dunsby stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jakob Dunsby and Sandefjord agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Tromso watching Daniel Johan Skaarud

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Sandefjord have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Fredrik Pedersen 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

Talks stall between Sandefjord and Vagner Gonçalves Nogueira

“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.

Match

Sandefjord share the spoils with Lillestrom

A 1-1 draw with Lillestrom leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Jakob Dunsby 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

Evangelos Patoulidis stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Evangelos Patoulidis and Sandefjord agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Elias Hadaya

“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

A bad afternoon for Sandefjord against Molde

0-1 to Molde, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

The clock runs on Stian Kristiansen's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market

Håkon Krogelien is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Sandefjord has been clear about where Håkon Krogelien stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

Jakob Dunsby 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.
