Fredrik Kristensen Dahl agrees terms with Falkenberg
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Molde people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Linus Alperud keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Molde may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Molde tie Sander Linnes down
A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Words exchanged at Molde
Oskar Spiten-Nysæter and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Graduation day at Molde
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Molde get the job done against IK Start
A 2‑0 win over IK Start, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Molde promote Hakon Svensson from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Hakon Svensson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Martin Elyounoussi steps up from the Molde academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martin Elyounoussi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
