As a Swede, I understand most Norwegian, but I still took the easy way out and had ChatGPT summarize the interview. And you're right—the comments section seems full of people who were very happy with him. Summary: Alfred Johansson explains that he feels sadness and disappointment that his time with Rosenborg has come to an end, as he greatly enjoyed his time at the club and built strong relationships with players, staff, and colleagues. At the same time, he expresses deep gratitude for his experience there and the memories that were created. Reflecting on his two and a half years at Rosenborg, Johansson highlights that the first 18 months were characterized by development, positive performances, and results moving in the right direction. The final year, however, was more challenging, with results falling short of expectations. Despite this, he remains proud of the work that was done and what the team managed to achieve during his tenure. Johansson particularly emphasizes the club's long-term development. He explains that Rosenborg had a clear strategy when he arrived and that the management and coaching staff worked purposefully to create stability. He is proud to have contributed to the development of several young talents who later moved abroad or established themselves in the first team. He also speaks warmly about the supporters, describing their backing as something he will never forget. Despite the high expectations, he experienced tremendous encouragement, passion, and support from the fans, which left a lasting impression on him. When discussing the players and club staff, Johansson becomes emotional. He thanks the players for their hard work and stresses that he could never question their commitment. He also expresses sincere gratitude to the board and club leadership for giving him the opportunity to lead Rosenborg despite his limited experience at the senior level. Furthermore, he thanks the coaching staff, administration, and all employees at the club for their support and the sense of community he experienced during his time in Trondheim. The interview concludes with Johansson wishing Rosenborg and its supporters the very best for the future. He expresses strong confidence that the club will achieve its goals and believes it is only a matter of time before Rosenborg returns to the level it aspires to reach.

New manager is Alfie..........what's that all about? 🤪🤪 Welcome to the Well Alfie and hopefully you can continue the great work Jens done.

Anyone know Norwegian? Seems to be a leaving interview. the comments are telling I think can translate those to English. Suggests he’s a good guy who saved the team from bankruptcy.

His English is even more impressive than Jens. Flawless.

Like our last two managers it’s a case of who?, what’s he done? might no be a bad choice, like the cut of his jib, let’s hope it works out. All in happy to trust the board and give him a chance. welcome aboard the rollercoaster Alfred.

Frantically googling Alfie’s history. Rosenberg are a big club, let’s hope he’s another Jens and maybe snag a couple of good prospects from over there too.

He's like one of those people who "works out" the twist in The Usual Suspects right at the end.

It was always going to get the reaction of, who? Need to trust the boards methods in reaching their decision. So, Welcome Alfie! Best of luck and all that...

So secret there wasn't even a bet on Polymarket.

And there's the official announcement on the WhatsApps.

Drat......rumbled

Even people that have got loads of money are not daft. That's probably why they have lots of money.

Alfred Johansson, according to Graeme McGarry.

Away to Hibs first game of the season with a 1630 kick off on Sunday 2nd August. First home game is against Falkirk.

If they have money then can we not persuade them to take Stamatelopolous as well, a sort of buy one get one free deal.

I’m also too young to have seen Willie Hunter playing but my dad said he was the most skilful of the Ancell Babes forwards. Like a few posters, I’d say Vic Davidson is the closest in build and playing style to Elijah Just. The shimmy king. Bobby Russell runs him close.

Time to retire the joke book and look for some new material.

Grizzly, Brilliant. Probably went right over most heads on here but it certainly made me chuckle. Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink in the Congo.🤣🤣

Nah, its nothing sinister Guardiola is just having a few weeks holiday after his Man city efforts, he will be announced soon. 😀

There's no reason to panic, but it would be best to have a new man in place for training restarting tomorrow. Some interesting discussion on P & B just now. We ended last season on a high and its vital that the Directors continue that momentum. There's been no news on re-signings (Gordon & McAllister) and of course nothing on our new manager (kept very quiet and rightly so). Nothing on new signings (probably waiting on a new man coming in). Pre season training has been delayed by a day. I hope we don't go in to our Conference League ties half cocked. It may well be of course that theres a sudden rush of news at the one time.

New boss will be announced once Portugal are out the world cup. Welcome home Roberto.

Could it be something to do with new boss being announced??

A380’s yes
