Axel Kryger, Robert Undheim and Jens Husebø have mutually terminated their contracts at Bryne FK, a development that has quickly become a major talking point in Norwegian football. The announcement arrived as the transfer window closed, and it has left many questioning what direction the club now intends to take. For Bryne, who are fighting to maintain their position in the Norwegian top flight, losing important players at such a pivotal stage presents serious challenges.
The decision has also drawn attention beyond the local level, as Erling Haaland, one of the club’s most high-profile former players, expressed his dismay over the situation. Haaland spent twelve years at Bryne in his youth before moving to Molde, and he is widely recognised as the greatest talent to emerge from the club. His connection to Bryne has always remained strong, and the recent developments clearly struck a nerve with him.
Haaland Voices His Concern Over Departures
------------------------------------------
As reported by [NRK](https://www.nrk.no/sport/fotball/), Haaland shared his frustration through his Snapchat account after news of the departures surfaced. His message to the club was direct: “Speak out, Bryne FK. What the hell is going on?” The comment not only highlighted his disappointment but also demonstrated the confusion surrounding the manner in which the contracts were ended.
A supporter subsequently asked him why he was still awake at that late hour, to which Haaland replied: “Yes, I should, but there is chaos at my home club and it makes me angry, so now I can’t sleep.” His response revealed both his irritation and the emotional weight he attaches to Bryne’s situation.
For Bryne, the departure of Kryger, Undheim and Husebø leaves a gap that must be filled if the team are to avoid slipping further into difficulty. Stability will be essential, particularly as the Eliteserien season progresses and competition intensifies. Haaland’s reaction illustrates just how significant this event is, underlining the bond between a player at the pinnacle of world football and the club where his journey began.
The immediate question for many supporters is how the club intends to recover from this setback and reassure its fan base. Clear communication and decisive action will be needed to restore confidence, particularly at a time when one of their most famous former players has openly called for clarity. The coming weeks may well determine whether Bryne can maintain their footing in the top flight or risk further disruption during an already challenging campaign.
