[Albion] The Kjetil Knutsen thread - get him in Tone!

[est.83]

So should we all tune in to PSV-Bodo/Glimt in about 4 hours time to see whether this Kjetil dude would whisper "Save me, Tony"? Any lip readers here? #freeknutsen

 

[ady1973]

And we will all follow NOZ34G from Trondheim to Gatwick....just in case

 

[Albion in the north]

Do you think that, if he does come to us, we will get some Norwegian Knutsen fanboy joining NSC, talking crap?

I'm sure the parody accounts have already been created in anticipation.

Bodoboy? Glimtgimp?

I'm sure you are right and the good news is Chelsea will then give us another £20m and Mr Potter back. #winwin

i have pondered this one... i'm glad i opened this thread its made me feel a little bit better.

When he leaves for a 'big 6' side in 18 months can I have a go at the headline?

KNUTSEN BOLTS

Well this isn't going to happen for at least a couple of days as Bodo/Glimt are kicking off away to PSV in just over 1 hour.

Maybe not enough experience none in English football would be risky.

Bodo/Glimt to smash them on xG, hitting the woodwork 5 times, before conceding a deflected goal in injury time.

 

[Springal]

Apparently unlikely to leave Norway

thats okay he can always lean on the experience of Bruno...oh wait

 

[The Fits]

Does he also have five members of back room staff to bring with him?

Don’t worry that will change if his salary is going to more than double !

Only one season less than GP when appointed.

If you don't know much about him, he's the Bodo/Glimt coach who beat Mourinho's Roma 6-1.

He plays high intensity, tactically fluid, pressing football with intricate passing triangles and overloads. Very similar to Potter in may respects, although his team have been more ruthless in front of goal.

Here's an excellent piece on his tactical work with Bodo/Glimt: https://coachhall.substack.com/p/fk-bodglimt-2020-season-tactical

Pretty much in the Potter mould.

And what's not to like about a manager who made his club the first ever from inside the Arctic Circle to qualify for Europe?

 

[Bakero]

Apparently unlikely to leave Norway

He doesn't want to leave Norway to manage in the Premier League? Seems unlikely.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

This guy looks a good choice. I quite like the look of Matthias Jaissle too

Yep, mentioned him on the next manager thread.
