Ole Solskjær is using an old friend as agent. This agent of course has used this friendship for what it is worth and he gained a lot of new clients after Solskjær played for United. That is fair and all that. However, this weasel has turned into a local Mino Rajola and is really a shower of shit when it comes to business etichs.
One example is when Solskjær got back from UK and took over Molde for the first time. This agent, Jim Solbakken, acted like an inhouse agent and only players at his client list were signed by Molde giving him a monopoly. Molde who is backed by one of the richest guys in Norway, gave Solskjær plenty of resources to use, and I don't know how much went back to this agent. He then again was involved when Cardiff started signing Norwegian players. Dæhli, Berget and Eirkem all came from Molde at one stage and was of course the agent bringing these players to a Cardiff in free fall. I think he also was involved on both sides of the table when Solskjær went back to Molde and when he went to Man U. So all credibility and work of this guy is very much down to Solskjær himself.
A couple of years back one of the Molde players (African defender called Babacar Sarr) was accused of rape. A crime that would put him away for minimum 4 years in Norway. Prior the trial the Norwegian footie fans around Norway urged Molde to suspend the player, but Solskjær and Molde refused and claimed he was innocent to proven guilty. A greyzone for Molde as they have to protect their employee as well. So they kept on playing him while all opposition fans protested with banners for every game. The case went to court and he was found not guilty. The judge found the evidence strong enough but the two laymen found that the benefit of the doubt should free him. He was still sentenced to pay the woman around 15k£ in damages as the evidence doesn't have be as strong for that. All again fair as the beneift of the doubt is a good ruling. However, the governement appealled the case and a new court was set. Prior this new court Agent Solbakken arranged for a loan move for Babacar Sarr to a Russian club (good player, but I suspect there was other motives here, maybe money under the table?). Molde, still led by Solskjær agreed to free his international license and hence he could move to Russia before the trial. Thereafter his contract with Molde was cancelled and a transfer to Saudi Arabia was arranged. For the latest transfer Solbakken claims he was not involved but whattsapp dialogue between him and Sarr showing he demands 10% is publiced. So why pay a guy 10% of salary if no involvement? And now another woman has come forward with another rape charge by the same player. So Solbakken has moved his non client to Russia and Saudi Arabia, which are two countries Norway, who has put an international warrant on the guy, will meet no response.
All this happens all the time in footie so why should people be upset? Over here because none of the regular press is wqilling to even mention this case. It is digged up by an independent footie magazine, and although it is public now, none of the regular press dares to touch it. They are to scared to be the ones boycotted by Solskjær as long as he has the position he has (He has undoubtly learned something from Fergie). Hence it is never mentioned and never spoken about in the regular press. And other clubs like Rosenborg (with ambitions to be the leading club in Nordic) have no problems continuing to do business with Solbakken. The Norwegian FA has no problem with his operations. No one dares to irritate this idiot as long as he operates under Solskjærs wings.
So please let us give him the ultimate humiliation and send him home as the major failure he is. Over here they will still crawl for him though but he will be a proven failure second time running!!
EDIT: The owner of Molde, and Solskjærs good friend, is these days in the court system in Norway himself over being raceteered by a gangster who claimed he has tons of unfavourable info about him. He has tried to solve the case outside the court system with no success so far.
