any predictions ? .... who got the money to reinforce ? and who are in trouble financially ? ----- Link to last seasons Tippeliga thread : https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1621899&page=16
Well I guess Rosenborg will get back on track. Molde seems to be strong and stabil. And they have Røkke( investor). 2012 will probably be THE season Martin and Vålerenga must perform from the start. Viking have restructured , made Hareide manager and signed a contract with a Spanish guy as coach i think. Ålesund will in my eyes a strong team next year. It will be exciting to see how LSK will manage in 2012. They have gotten a good choach from Sweden and have already signed 3 or 4 players and more is to come i have been told. But you never know with LSK. Brann is also a team that should be in the top. Stabæk is of course a team that will struggle next year. They have to upgrade their stadium and most players will get a redused pay or will leave the club.
The economic scandals continue in Tippeligaen 2012. Today there was two arrest in the Piroja case and the police raided Fredrikstads premises. This is not the first time Morgan is involved in a case invilving ecnonomic cheating. http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tip...ad-stadion-to-personer-paagrepet-3659441.html The Stabæk- Vålerenga case is quiet theese days. But the police has said they will interrogate over 20 people . More to come
Lillestrøm have signed another player. Johan Anderson from Stabæk. http://fotball.aftenposten.no/eliteserien/article216980.ece Molde is interessted in Hoås http://fotball.aftenposten.no/eliteserien/article216966.ece
And the soap continues Now Lillestrøm gets sued by Lyn`s trustee. http://www.vg.no/sport/fotball/norsk/artikkel.php?artid=10040981
Lsk have signed Johan Andersson (28) and Jesper Westerberg (25) http://www.vg.no/sport/fotball/ligaer/sverige/artikkel.php?artid=10016536
Truls Haakonsen claim for compensatory damages against the Norwegian Football Association for having created a case without legal basis http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tippeligaen/vif/vifsjefen-krever-erstatning-av-nff-3660518.html Truls Haakonsen is still under investigation and is still charged by the police. Yet another million payment from Fredrikstad is examined by the police. http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tippeligaen/enda-en-millionutbetaling-fra-ffk-granskes-3660423.html
Thanks Vifvaf for the info. I really hope Stabeak rides it through. As you wrote they potentially can gather some strong sponsors in that very prosperous region. I really hope for Brann producing a good season. What´s your thaughts on their particular situation prior to the next seaon? Good job Sir!
From the Piroja case. Morgan quote : Had to stand in knee position and be looked up in the rectum http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tip...nmelde-politiet-for-maktovergrep-3662573.html And two more arrest in the Gunnarson case. Former Chairman of Stabæk Soccer Erik Loe and current chairman of Stabæk AS Lars Holter Sorensen was charged Friday in connection with the transfer case of Veigar Pall Gunnarsson. http://www.nrk.no/sport/fotball/eliteserien/1.7919197 And last but not least Siem (former Vålerenga director now newly appointed Secretary General of the Norwegian Football Association) Siem would in principle not to comment on the matter since he is neither employed by Vålerenga longer or have started in the position of NFF Secretary General, but claims that they had spilled flour in the bag when he was at the club. - In my reign in Vålerenga we have followed the books, which I think the auditor's approval evidence, said Siem. http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tippeligaen/siem-om-piirojasaken-vi-har-fulgt-boekene-3661934.html More to come
I quite sure Stabæk will ride this storm out. People with money in reserve tends to get by. they will get some rough year in the future but they will manage. As to Brann im not sure. Personally i hope Brann barely makes it in 2012 But if it is something i have learned , then it would be to never underestimate Brann . You never know when they will attack. Brann was sentenced crash and burn before the 2011 season. And we all so how that went. People from Bergen is a distinct people. The people them self say that Bergen is not a part of norway but their own country. So of coure we sing Bergen out of Norway Bergen experiences plentiful rainfall, with annual precipitation measuring 2,250 mm (89 in) on average. But never underestimate people from Bergen or Brann. So far that is my closest guess of how Brann will do in 2012.
RBK is in my eyes for the first time in maybe 15 years not a clear favorite. AND I LOVE IT RBK have spent all their money and must start on equal terms as the rest of Tippeligaen. They will be top 4 , but nothing is taken granted anymore.
Not really Tippeligaen , but worth mentioning . Dagfinn Enerly former FFK player was paralyzed in the last match in 2005 . He broke his neck when a player from FFK landed on his head in a duel before the goal. This week he stood on his own feet in a pool for the first time since 2005. Dagfinn actually played for the club i played for when i was a kid. (SF Grei) He also played for Skeid ehere Freddy Dos Santos also played at the same time. Dagfinn has been supported by all of football Norway since the accident. For example when plankehaugen ( FFK`s support group) rebuilt his house when he was in the hospital to adapt it to his new needs. All of football Norway still support Dagfinn and his family and i wish him and his family all the best in the future. Merry Christmas to you all. http://www.tv2.no/gmn/dagfinn-enerl...-av-jentene-mine-opp-kirkegulvet-3667914.html
So to the not so positive news. Tippeligaen referee Svein Erik Edvartsen . A VERY disputed referee has now been hired as a general Manager in Storhamar Dragons ( Hockey) This has resulted in two board members resigning. I also question his neutrality within football when beeing a general manager in Storhamar. http://www.tv2.no/sport/ishockey/edvartsenansettelse-skaper-uro-i-storhamar-3667883.html NFF Will investigate every transfer the last four years in Tippeligaen . http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tip...-overganger-de-siste-fire-aarene-3666587.html This was not something the boar in NFF was told , and has lead to some questions about football president Yngve Hallen. Soccer President Yngve Hallén accused once again for override its own board. http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tip...nde-om-tidenes-fotballgranskning-3667577.html Yet another person is prosecuted in the tax matter. This means that fiver persons now ins prosecuted in this case. http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tippeligaen/femte-person-siktet-i-skattesaken-3666818.html Over to some transfer marked. Here you can find the transfer so far in Tippeligaen. http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tippeligaen/her-er-alle-tippeligaovergangene-3661372.html
Google Translated version of a text written toward the leaders in Norwegian football in a supporter magazine . Damn Hooligans Damn hooligans, you only cause trouble and do not give a shit about football, ********ing garbage Many of us have heard this more than once and more of us will definitely hear it again. We follow our team through thick and thin, year in and year out. Defeat after defeat, but we never give up. Sometimes it becomes a fight on our journey. It also happens that some are using pyro without the law and throw the lip to the natives, in addition to that we are høyltte and rough language. Morten " take a donut " ( Dagbladet journalist) would have described it as a rowdy bunch, which is a shame for football and that we should create our own Guantanamo. Where you can send all the fans that football is free of hooligans and concern moments, so that football is a place for the kind and wonderful people who truly is passionate about the sport and can watch games in peace. Or??? Why is it always the fans who are called trash, hooligans, thugs, or the scum of the earth, as Tony Blair once said about the English fans as he bombed Iraq? All we fans are doing is obviously not always smart and sometimes stdig that we fool ourselves after one way or another. We do things that are far out of line at times, but usually this is in affect and are triggered by feelings of our club. It is not always the reason is there when emotions take over the hand, but no matter how stupid some believe that we behave as it is something that happens because most people actually have an honest and genuine commitment to his club. When the managers in football do something wrong so no one howls and screams of hooligans and thugs. There are a lot of rotten game in football, but supporters are not even close to being thugs. Even the guys who choose to beat the crap out of each other in the woods or in a park is for the school boys to expect when it comes to the real bastards. People who will stop at nothing to enrich themselves and who do give a damn about football. As fans of Bosnia bombed Ullevål with flares Mother Norway were naturally portrayed as idiots who just wanted to make sick. No one took the trouble to find out why they went so far and tried to stop the fight. Before the match against Norway 11 players who would be the ones that were played from the start, wrote an open letter in which they refused to play for Bosnia before the leadership in the association was replaced. This is because the association in Bosnia, in their opinion was so corrupt that it was almost possible to play the National League. The fans chose to take action to focus after this and they have apologized for Norway that they were "victims" in this case. The result of this episode was fine for both Associations.. It should fans to Bosnia received support, but instead became the scapegoats but the thugs continue to fill up their already fat accounts in various countries. In Italy, several teams demoted and imposed strict sanctions because of systematic doping, corruption and bribery. But neither the time was talking about the Thugs, and again still fans who do are seen as the big issue in Italy. There are many examples of match-fixing in Europe and it has happened here in Norway to, but it does not seem who do there is a big problem for the big gentlemen in the corridors of power. we fans are increasingly threatened points by the use of pyro, exclusions and other sanctions. The stock amsse rules without us in any particular will be to design them. We are in a sense held guilty when we do something wrong but have little opportunity to one organized so that we do not do anything wrong. It is a useful dialogue here at home in some areas, but we still have a long way to go. It is spennde to see how the NFF handle the SLO program which comes into force 2013. When we're on it with points penalty, so we have our own club experienced this twice as I have followed the club, and I can not recall that there were some that were banned or personally fined by the club at the time. Both times it was management who ********ed it up and it's seem to be allright. Today, people are banned and liable for the fine if it is used pyro that have resulted in fines. This is the talk of fans who use their free time and not working for the club and when is it right that they are punished harder than those who have actually given us the fine and points penalty. Call me hooligan, rubbish or dregs because I like singing and dancing in the stands, it is scorched by a flame from time to time and sometimes I can understand that a farmer gets one on the lip. I drink beer and sing songs with ugly Contents, but for me it's about a commitment to the club in my heart, and only that. In my opinion, this is not even close to being hooligan just because we show our emotions. Hooligans are you ensuring that clubs going bankrupt or being demoted, but you are walking in a suit and then it's not hooligan business but business. You can drink beer and wine in the VIP while being searched like a criminal on his way in after fight. Why not use all the police officers who are fighting to check what is actually happening in the stadium. I think it's worse than any flares, a lark or a black eye or two. There are too many examples where there is much wrong here at home too and it must be cleaned up. Do too many things that I think things are over for a while yet, and this applies to several clubs, not mentioned but not forgotten principle there. We can not have more bankruptcies and clubs who have to sell his entire squad to avoid bankruptcy. It does not apply to us now but once it can happen and even though we are rivals in the stands, I think no one treats other fans to lose their club. For us that uses most of their time on our team and our club is nothing but tragedy to lose the team. And it's not the fans who have been behind when a club has gone to hell. Oh how I see it as they go real hooligans in a suit and get away with almost anything while the rest of us be punished for minutiae, but if you want to see a real hooligan so ******** up my club, because then I will take from you your life the same way as you took from me my. If you rather had been on a trip to the pub and in the stands once you had perhaps realized that life is not just about money, power and prestige. But to live. It is in the stands we all live out our dream and have a fellowship that is completely unique. Maybe it is time that someone goes to sell yourself when it comes to what they call people and how football is run. We are hooligans while agents and other dubious leaders are the ones who decide the laws and regulations? Resemble what some would call for dictatorship, but what do I know the hooligan I am? My commitment makes me probably does not make my view neutrual.

The year when everything was hard. 2011 was the year Norwegian football hit a wall. 90th century was marked by violent sporting successes. 2000's was an almost continuous economic Klondike where the audience's finally reached ten thousand on average in the playoffs. Then everything flattened out and the downturn began. 2011 will be remembered as the year where most went wrong and a lot was full on my face. This is the time when Norwegian football needs a journey. Maybe it comes with a new series of S's. Solskjær Siem Sollied Stjernen Semb 2012 will not decide all future for football here at home, but if the negative issues continue to dominate, many have to take the collection to the floor, think of new ideas and run sports and business in a very different way than we have been accustomed to over the last decade . 2012 is the year that football has the opportunity to take the self-examination on themselves, clean up and maybe, I say maybe, get stronger from it. This is interesting - yes, if you are interested notably! http://blogg.nrk.no/fotball/2012/01/03/aret-det-var-sa-bratt/#more-865
Some training matches in Sweden and Denmark for Vålerenga and Lsk. FCK-VIF 11. februar DIF-VIF 3. mars IFK-LSK 3. mars Saturday matches will probably mean a good number of traveling Norwegians to our neighbors in the east and south. Vålerenga came with 4-500 fans to Copenhagen last training match against FCK winter 2010. When we are on to FCK. They have apparently made an offer on Mos in Vålerenga. No number or anything is known yet. I will be interesting to see how this turns out. Vålerenga regretted big time that they loaned Mos to TIL in 2011. He was the top scorer of 2011. And he has been promised much time on the field for 2012. I do not think VIF will do the same mistake two years in a row. But you never know If Vålerenga is going to start competing in Europe and other top Scandinavian clubs they need to be though and turn down offers on players they need to hold the level good enough. http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/tippeligaen/mos-kan-bli-fckspiller-i-morgen-3675641.html

Is that IFK Göteborg? Not Norrköping? Okey very interesting match up. Former Elfsborg coach Haglund with his new side against Elfsborg´s rivals IFK. I bet Haglund would enjoy snatching an early win there....
Yes I mean Gøteborg. I just say IFK for short to Gøteborg and just call Norrkjøping for Norrkjøping Im excited to se how LSK and Haglund will do this year. I think they have signed 8 new players and have two Africans on testing. 3 choaches have changed club or been fired. So not much is the same in LSK as it where in the end of the seson 2011.
