Fans asked for help after contracting with the midfielder
Sometimes you need to be reminded of what Swedish football is.
After the extension with Theodor Raske, VSK sent a request to solve an urgent problem:
Does anyone have a microwave, a few mugs, and a TV to lend?
In Europe, oil money flows between clubs. When a player of special value moves, 1 billion SEK in compensation is sent in the other direction.
For a club in the lower half of Superettan, the reality is different.
Yesterday, Vasteras announced the extension of the loan of IFK Norrköping midfielder, Theodor Raske, through the fall. The 22-year-old had previously moved to Västerås and occasionally stayed in hotels, but after six successful efforts by VSK in the series, the club has found a permanent solution. Now your head will live in the city.
40 million Swedish kronor
Soon the club got an apartment, but when the player got there yesterday, it was empty. So, they used their Twitter account to claim some things the defender wanted to borrow.
“These are the things he needs,” VSK writes, then lists, among other things, the bed, cutlery, dishes, and TV table.
In 2017, local newspaper VLT wrote that the club earned 40 million Swedish kronor when its former player Victor Nelson Lindelof was sold from Benfica to Manchester United.
Hi, Sports Director Hermann Ottosson, should we interpret your call for plates to mean that Lindelöf’s money is wasted?
– No, everything went so quickly that neither of us had time to look into the apartment in advance. So we had to work things out quickly, eg something to sleep on.
Did you put it all together?
– yes. We have analyzed everything. A board member runs a construction company that has large portions of what we need.
Nine crowns for furniture claws
So now Theodore has a TV table?
– exactly. Our shooter Victor Granath had a TV table. It was a real teamwork.
The story is getting better. Comedian Marcus Thabar was the first to intercept and publicize the call. I follow this with a small, equal group each day where individuals can donate small amounts for the midfielder’s upcoming purchases.
Joachim donated nine crowns for the furniture claws, Thomass gave fifty crowns for the bath foam and Simone enjoyed over nineteen crowns for the egg divider.
On Sunday, June 26, Västerås will play their next match in the Superettan. Then Theodore Rusk and the gang met Skovdi far away.
