Match28 Aug 2027
No end in sight to Mjondalen's wait for a win
37 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mjondalen has to find a result from somewhere.
Match30 Aug 2027
Mjondalen are in real trouble now
Position 16, 0 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.
Match28 Aug 2027
Beaten 1‑5 by Bodo/Glimt, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.
Market30 Aug 2027
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mjondalen can pretend not to have heard.
Boardroom30 Aug 2027
The silence upstairs is getting loud at Mjondalen
Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.
Transfer targets30 Aug 2027
The deal with Viking died in the treatment room. Nobody will say what was found and everybody in the game will find out by Friday.

Jonas Bruusgaard 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.
Match28 Aug 2027
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Mjondalen and Bodo/Glimt in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match31 Jul 2027
The wait goes on for Mjondalen
33 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.
Match2 Aug 2027
Mjondalen sink to position 16
0 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.
Match31 Jul 2027
1‑4 to Stabaek, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
Market2 Aug 2027
“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 The request is on a desk at Mjondalen, and it is not being withdrawn.

Kweku Kekeli 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.
Looking ahead26 Jul 2027
Everything rides on Stabaek
Both clubs in the mire, one fixture between them, and a ground that will be louder and more frightened than at any point in the season. Mjondalen know what is at stake and so does everybody in the away end.
The dugout26 Jul 2027
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Morten Ajer left the room before anybody could ask which.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
Molde have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The manager makes an example of Benjamin Sundo
“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.

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

Pressure builds in the Mjondalen boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

22 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Mjondalen lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

“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.
