Match9 May 2035

Molde march on in the cup

Skeid are out and Molde go through, 3‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings14 May 2035

A debut Patrick Riise will not forget — 7.33

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.33 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Market14 May 2035

Krešimir Radoš asks to leave Molde

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings14 May 2035

A brace, and Martin Odegaard takes the afternoon — 9.15

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Martin Odegaard provided it, and the 9.15 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market14 May 2035

Krešimir Radoš is on his way

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

The dugout14 May 2035

Tristan Nilsson: 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.” Molde have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom14 May 2035

Youssef Njoya has agreed to leave Molde for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad14 May 2035

The decline has begun for Emil Breivik

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 34 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Molde is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

Squad14 May 2035

Words at Molde training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Henrik Skogvold 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.

Squad11 Dec 2034

Alexandr Alekhin damages knee ligaments — 135 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 135 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market11 Dec 2034

Only the photograph left for Petter Berg With

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Petter Berg With will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Molde the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad11 Dec 2034

Words exchanged at Molde

Mirza Mulac 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.

Squad11 Dec 2034

A row about effort at Molde

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

Market11 Dec 2034

Molde and Villum Dalsgaard are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad11 Dec 2034

Martin Odegaard stays put

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

Boardroom11 Dec 2034

88% of the income goes out in wages at Molde

Every club in football 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 somebody has tried it.

The dugout11 Dec 2034

Emil Breivik gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Emil Breivik is on it.

Market11 Dec 2034

Richard Ferrington told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Richard Ferrington has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Molde.
