Everything Brynäs takes yesterday is crumbling – Gävle wakes up all Swedish

63 consecutive years in the Premier League.

But before long, Gävle woke up as an All-Svenska city and Brynäs as an All-Svenska club.

That awakening risks being brutal.

Before the final run, when Brynäs had three points and 16 up to HV71, his teammate Leifby wrote that there was more chance of a Christmas goat winning the Prix d’Amerique than Brynäs taking that lead.

Now, two weeks later, it’s 0-3 in the matches against Malmö in the fateful qualifiers and yes, I know Malmö needs another victory.

But I promise to set a straw goat on fire if Brennas turns this around.

I felt that this qualifying meeting had already been decided before it even started. The only small question mark was how the change of coach would affect Brin.

As Brynäs performed in the last two matches, the general feeling was: It can only get better.

When Brynäs has now played three qualifying matches, the general feeling is: No, things didn’t get any better.

Everything Brynäs takes in breaks.

7034 watched what might be the last game against SHL opposition for a very long time.

Sure, it looked a little better tonight, but like damn it was a loss (2-3), the only thing that really mattered in the qualifying match.

Malmö had what Brinas lacked

Now I don’t think Brynäs would have avoided relegation even if he had kept Manner & Co, but we’ll never get an answer to that question.

But the last desperate attempt to remove Manner and his staff was yet another failure on the part of Brynäsledningen.

The already divided group seemed to become even more divided when the Finnish players (there are five of them in Brinas) got rid of the coach who was a big reason they picked Brinas.

Malmö had everything Brinas lacked: patience, security, group chemistry and the ability to play the best hockey game at the end of the season.

Just like in the previous two games, Brynäs took the lead and also had a chance to make it 2-0 on a slightly strong play in the second period.

But again, it was Gävle’s seemingly simple inability to get the seemingly simple pucks out of their area that brought the team down.

Föst Simon Bertilsson scores the equalizing goal to make it 1-1.

And with Malmö’s 2-1 goal, it was even worse. Oscar Eklind and David Sklenicka both failed to field the puck in the Box game despite being completely unbothered.

Then equalizing before Brynäs failed to get five players on the ice and Adam Olas Matson (again) managed to shoot it 3-2 with just over a minute left in the middle of the period. On that occasion, Brinas had no position on the ice.

Risks of losing more than 40 million in revenue

Once Malmö hits the last ball, most likely on Tuesday, all contracts on Brynä’s team will expire. A completely new team, equipped for the reality of Allsvenskan, will be built in just a few months.

Are Johan Elsen and Erika Gramm still reliable as sporting directors?

If they have, do they have the skills to succeed?

And not least, what does the financial situation look like?

Sportingly, the season has been a disaster, but Brinas is also bleeding financially.

Club manager Håkan Svedman indicated early on that this year’s season would amount to around eight million kroner. That was before Miko Maner and two of his lieutenants were knocked out by Brenas.

Then this year’s season is still a bit of a drop in the ocean of the whole.

First of all, about SEK 40 million in revenue will disappear in rough throws compared to if Brynäs played in the SHL.

During the Corona season 20/21, Brinas returned 23 million. The previous board’s inability to solve it by writing the value of the ERP Monitor Arena at a staggering 43 million SEK. Suddenly, not only had Brynäs resolved the severe economic crisis, but he also had a massive infusion in equity capital of SEK 35 million.

Books for the highest arena value of 43 million

Not everyone was a fan of this balancing act:

“Unfortunate result of Brynäs IF emptying the money coffers and lowering the equity. At the same time, the value of the yard is being revalued for equity writing. However, this value is not realized until the yard is sold. Only then will the money go into the cash register. Breathe artificial!

I am far from a black belt in finance, but even realize that the only realistic buyer for the ERP Monitor Arena, at a narcotic value today, is the municipality stepping in and acting as a savior with taxpayer money.

The Brinas took a step up to the highest league in 1960. Now, 63 years later, only one loss separates them from being forced out.

Soon, an Allsvenskan delegation with CEO Monidelle and Sports Director Ryman will enter the parking lot of the ERP Monitor Arena and report on conditions in Allsvenskan.

A few weeks later, the game schedule will be released when trips to Tingsryd, Almtuna and Östersund are planned.

Brynäs awaits a whole new reality and I’m writing it again: he risks becoming wild.
