The dugout5 Apr 2027
Wiggo Hjort keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Utsikten may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Deadline passes with 9 signed and 4 gone
That is the business done at Utsikten until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

The step up is real for Bleon Bakraqi

Daniel Claesson steps up from the Utsikten academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Claesson 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.
