It all is supposed to have occurred in connection with that Magni Fannberg and the accused football agent had a dialogue about a player transfer.

Norrköping wrote in a press release that the agent expressed himself in a derogatory manner and "conveyed direct and indirect threats against the association's sports manager and the association as a whole”.

The agent does not want to acknowledge the allegations.

That they then say ”I have threatened him” (Fannberg). That is not true at all, he says and continues:

I have absolutely been unpleasant. I said that he was a big joke as a sports manager. That was all. Then I told him that I will contact their board through their sponsor and tell them about his unprofessional behavior.

The agent means that Fannberg acted unprofessionally and not ”acted in the player's best interest”.

The Allsvenskan club's board has after the incident decided to break off all contact with the agent and his agency.
