Market

Robin Wallinder 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 Mjällby can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Mjällby turn down Västerås SK for Robin Wallinder

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match

The wait goes on for Mjällby

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Tempers go at Mjällby

Robin Wallinder was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Ludvig Tidstrand attracts admirers

The name of Ludvig Tidstrand has come up in conversations Mjällby were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Words at Mjällby training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Axel Norén 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.

Transfer targets

Mjällby rebuffed over Tommaso Ebone

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Bologna have kept their man, and Mjällby go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

A bad afternoon for Mjällby against Djurgarden

1‑2 to Djurgarden, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Andreas Pyndt

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andreas Pyndt, and the manager let it.

Market

Robin Wallinder 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 The request is on a desk at Mjällby, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Amar Dževlan says Mjällby went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 11 in, 5 out at Mjällby

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 11 arrived, 5 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad

Words exchanged at Mjällby

Jacob Bergström 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.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Mjällby

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

A row about effort at Mjällby

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

Market

One of our own: Viktor Svanberg joins the Mjällby first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Viktor Svanberg is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Mjällby promote Mattias Augustinsson from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mattias Augustinsson 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.

Market

Martin Ibrahimovic steps up from the Mjällby academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martin Ibrahimovic 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.

In brief
