Boardroom22 Nov 2032

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Stabaek

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Match22 Nov 2032

Stabaek finish in position 9

40 points, and the season has a number on it. Whatever it felt like from the inside, this is what it will look like in a book.

The dugout22 Nov 2032

Christophe Gaillard keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Stabaek may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings22 Nov 2032

Age has not caught Saku Ylätupa yet — 8.27

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.27 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad22 Nov 2032

Niklas Geyrhofer 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.

Match20 Nov 2032

Saku Ylätupa the difference as Stabaek beat Moss

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Saku Ylätupa. 2‑1 against Moss, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces22 Nov 2032

One of their own: Hakon Odegaard

He is 18 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.

Squad22 Nov 2032

A falling-out at Stabaek

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

The dugout22 Nov 2032

Interim Coach: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑1, already talking about the next one.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom27 Oct 2031

Pressure builds in the Stabaek boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market27 Oct 2031

David Synstelien 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 Stabaek can pretend not to have heard.

Market27 Oct 2031

Mark Dömötör is on his way

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

Squad27 Oct 2031

A falling-out at Stabaek

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

Squad27 Oct 2031

Words at Stabaek training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Niklas Geyrhofer 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.

Boardroom27 Oct 2031

Wages swallow 184% of the Stabaek income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Match25 Oct 2031

Åsane take the points off Stabaek

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout27 Oct 2031

The manager makes an example of Sebastian Heredia-Randen

“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.

Boardroom27 Oct 2031

Stabaek cannot sign anybody

The embargo bars a fee being paid for a player, whatever the manager thinks the squad needs. Every rumour printed about this club between now and its lifting is a rumour about a deal that cannot happen.

In brief
