At least Norway under Drillo was lightyears ahead of any other era in our history and there should be a statue of him outside every major stadium in norway.

Why is Rikard Norling still popular with both the fans and the local press this season? Bergen has usually been really fast at dropping managers in bad times, and this time the team seriously underperformed.

1) local press has been criticizing him a lot lately.
2) fans recognize that the problems with Brann run deeper than the coach.
3) Norling has had success with multiple teams before, with a style of football people want to see in Bergen.
4) That Brann is especially quick at dropping managers is a complete myth. We've fired less managers in the last 10 years than most Tippeliga teams.

The press always criticises the coach at the end of every season, at this point nobody really pays much attention to Tore Strand &co. And yea, we don't really fire managers that often; Skarsfjord got a contract extension a couple of months before he quit of his own accord (contrary to what the OP says, he never got the sack).

A more interesting match that same day will be Brann-Mjøndalen. Mjøndalen beat Bærum 4-1 after extra time (having equalised in injury time). They got a red card which I think will carry over to the Brann match; anyone know if Gauseth is any good? In addition, Diomande (who apparently is good) went off with an injury, so he may or may not be available.

I'm going to watch the poo poo out of that match, hopefully at the stadium. Either Mjøndalen will hilariously beat Brann and it will be amazing. If not, its only Mjøndalen.

Article which summarize how the Hypercupe report contains manipulated figures, bad statistics and overall poor methods to come to their conclusions. Conclusions they were probably hired to reach with their analysis in the first place. NFF is a piece of poo poo organization.

I'm shocked, really I am. NFF a corrupt bunch of shitbags? The travesty!

But jokes aside, if they are willing to do this it's pretty much certain that they will put this into effect. It's a prestige project for them now it seems. So get ready for playoffs, weird league setups and other fun hijinks.

I'm not that sure. They're better than Mjøndalen, but they seem very desperate and nervous in how they play.

I agree. With the way they're playing right now there's immense space for Mjøndalen to counter. There's more goals in this match, but I won't place a bet on which way the first one goes.
