For a norwegian villa fan, this has been a pretty unproductive work day with yet another twist this evening.
The falling out of the owner røkke is a HUGE deal for Molde FK. Its abit like if the arabs were to pull out of man city, which will pretty much end Molde`s challenge in the norwegian league.
I fail to see that the owner would react like this if there were no evidence of something more then a casual chat. This is ofcourse supported by private jet, and RL flight back to the US.
Its going to pretty interesting to see what OGS can bring to Villa if everything works out. His Molde side is built up alot like Man Utd, with full backs bombing forward, quick wingers, one creative midfielder and a usually two holding midfielders. They keep the ball quite well, and is probably the best counterattacking side in Norway.
I see OGS as an excellent man manager, whos built a winning mentality in the molde squad (pretty much the opposite of eck). He has an excellent backroom staff in Molde consisting of a few ex utd coaches if im not mistaken. If he is to succeed he will need a strong backroom staff in Villa aswell.
Interesting times.. ! Naturally norwegian media are going mental.
