Vålerenga Fotball has recently parted ways with coach Geir Bakke, leading to criticism from football expert Lars Tjærnås. Tjærnås questions why so many talented individuals, including players and coaches, have failed in the club over time. He describes the situation as a 'graveyard' for talent and wonders about the club's culture and management. Sporting director Joacim Jönsson acknowledges the criticism but believes that expectations are too high compared to the conditions. Interim coach Petter Myhre takes over the responsibility and will focus on internal development. Vålerenga has had varied performances over the past ten years, with a third-place finish as a highlight but also relegation. Tjærnås argues that the club should have had a replacement ready before sacking Bakke and expresses concern for the club's future. However, Jönsson assures that much has been done correctly, but changes are needed to move the club forward.
