A row about effort at B.93
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Eivind Willumsen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout19 Apr 2027
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Boardroom19 Apr 2027
Wages swallow 85% of the B.93 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.
The dugout19 Apr 2027
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Marcus Pedersen trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Eivind Willumsen 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.

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.

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” B.93 have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 5 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Halmstad keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
