TRONDHEIM, norway (Dagbladet): Pål André Helland (29) reacted with shock and disbelief when the Bill Ingebrigtsen (53) got fired as a Rosenborg-coach 19. July of last year.
How strongly he reacted, arrived in the South-Trøndelag district court on Monday. Where was it read out the SMS that Has sent Ingebrigtsen and assistant Erik Hoftun after they got expelled. In the SMS-one killed he Rosenborg-the board of directors:
Who the hell it is they think they are? wrote Helland to Ingebrigtsen.
– Where were we in 2014? People are so historieløs that I’m sick. You have managed to create a kind of fucking cohesion in spillergruppa. We are going to get knocked over the damn board and get reinstated you. There is cohesion and leadership.
the Messages must have seemed like a cost for the chairman Ivar Koteng when he was made acquainted with them. Fotballekspert on the TV 2, Jesper Mathisen, nevertheless, believe not that the SMS-tiraden have consequences for the employment relationship to Helland of Rosenborg:
RBK-profile of the board of directors of the club: – Who the hell they think they are?
It looks very violently, ” says Mathisen about the messages.
– But we must remember the time they were sent on. And they must be viewed as that Helland sent messages to a good friend after he (Spoken) got fired. He had probably not seen for themselves that they should be presented for the whole of Norway.
Ingebrigtsen and Hoftun meetings this week Rosenborg in court. They believe the dismissals were invalid, and requires payment for lost salary and bonus until the contracts run out in 2020. Rosenborg – on its side – think they only have a claim on one year of severance pay.
A central question is whether Ingebrigtsen can be seen as the “business leader” and thus not covered by the stillingsvernet in the working environment act.
– thank you
As part of the documentation on what status they had spillergruppa, was the SMS one to Helland submitted to the court yesterday. To Ingebrigtsen wrote:
Hey Bill! First and foremost: thank you for absolutely everything. I understand nothing. Have you joined of your own free will? If you have been expelled, it is a scandal without precedent, which I do not comprehend. As I have understood it, as is spillergruppa in shock, like me. Anyway, I want to thank you, and I hope it isn’t the last time that you are my coach.
To Hoftun, he wrote:
I’m completely speechless.
When the Newspaper talked with Helland last night, he would not say anything about the SMS one. He would not say whether he was familiar with that they would be presented to the court.
not Koteng want to say something about the SMS one from Helland. But on the way out of court yesterday, he confirmed that he knew that they were going to be presented.
the Question is whether the board can live with that one of the star butcher them in this way, even if the messages were intended as private correspondence.
RBK-Koteng: – Sad that we keep on the way
Mathisen says:
When the messages were presented to the court, I think many had to rewind and listen again to what really was said. It is powerful cost from Helland. Absolutely. But we need to look at when the messages were sent. Some of the coaches and players associate the very special ties. If they have had a partnership that has worked well, this must be seen as the despairing messages to a good friend.
There is a known issue that the players wanted Ingebrigtsen was reinstated as the head coach. This gave the expression for in a letter right afterwards. Mathisen does not look away from that Helland may have been one of the chief architects behind the letter.
the Ceiling
– We need the swings what kind of occasion SMS-one was sent in, he reaffirms.
I think there is headroom for such in Rosenborg.
Mathisen comes even to sit ringside in the district court Wednesday. Then comes a starring of witnesses that have to talk to the club’s cause. Among other Nils Arne Eggen, Rune Bratseth, Stig Inge Bjørnebye and Tove Moe Dyrhaug.
Ingebrigtsen requires up to 10,75 million in lost base salary and bonus. In Hoftuns case we are talking about an amount of up at 2.75 million.
at the same time as the ongoing trial, started Rosenborg on Monday in preparation for a new season.
