"They created no winners – neither on the pitch, the stands, nor among other blue-and-white hearts. From the team, we have received that the actions have a negative effect on the players and leaders. We also receive concerned and disappointed reactions from other supporters and partners of IFK Göteborg", writes the board on the club's website.

It was in connection with Saturday's match against Halmstad that a large banner with the text "No dialogue, no tifo – resign Håkan" hung on "Blåvitt's" section of the stands at Gamla Ullevi. The background is that several of IFK Göteborg's supporter groups have since winter broken off dialogue with the club and demanded Mild's resignation.

"Blåvitt's" board writes in its statement that they have had contact with the different supporter groups in the near future and that a meeting between the parties will be held shortly.

"We hope for an open and solution-oriented dialogue and we on the board look forward to the meeting", writes the board.

IFK Göteborg won Saturday's match against Halmstad with 1–0.
