Bodo/well

[Happyhonest]

Anyone see a similarity between Bodo/Glimt and the tactics used by JBA?  May have had a few beers but the way they pass into midfield and their movement seems familiar.

Jens has name checked them at least once in pressers when talking about us and what we want to be.

Obviously with the caveat that we are in the very early stages of trying ro build something and ultimately may not get anywhere near where they are.

But hope is an intoxicating thing.

Its nice to dream.

I'm hoping that this season is the start of a new era for Motherwell. Given the plaudits and relative success this season, and the increased attendance, we may be in a position to attract additional quality to the playing and coaching staff at the club. If so, the model where we develop talent and sell at a profit may work I'm hoping for a period of slow, sustained improvement in the quality of the squad over a number of years such that Motherwell become a regular in Europe with occasional domestic silverware.

Pie in the sky pipedream right?

If the club get things right on and off the pitch and generate enough income to be able to back the manager financially then why not, anything is possible.

But there is a lot to sort out outwith improving the team, do we move or improve, new training facilities, etc etc.

Standing still and showing no ambition other than avoiding relegation each season is no way to develop the club and get more fans back to Fir park, so the board have a job on their hands, but so far we seem to be moving in ghe right direction.

Were Bodo even smaller than us? At least a similar size? So why not us too!  Let’s live the dream.

Yeh, prior to 2016 they didnt have any significant history even within Norwegian football.

In the last 10 years they have evolved

"through a sustainable, performance-driven model that combines high-value player sales, consistent UEFA competition revenue, and strategic reinvestment rather than reliance on a single wealthy benefactor"

Sound familiar?

I’m not really familiar with Bodo, are there any other teams close to them or do they have a monopoly on fans within a short distance? That would make things easier - unlike us - if they’re not competing with other clubs to attract fans.

If I remember correctly, they are inside the Arctic circle 

or maybe  I’m mixing them up with another team??

Their average home attendance is just under 7,000. They've been getting around 8,000 for European games.
