On Monday, "Blåvitt" became aware of the post. The Allsvenskan football club's security chief Jonas Arlmark says to GP that the formulations can be described as "a serious threat".
We have reported the threat to the police. What security measures we take, I will not comment on in the media, says Arlmark.
The post deleted
The post was published on the X platform on Monday. The person behind the account wrote that there is a fraud from the club management towards the supporters. It also ended with a call to expose Mild to potentially deadly violence.
After a few hours, the post was deleted.
Håkan Mild says that the club's security organization is involved and working on the situation.
The tone has been escalated in many places for a while, and now it has gone so far that we receive open threats in social media. The boundaries have been pushed forward, and I hope that we can have a common view in our entire association with all members, supporters, and other stakeholders that it is not okay, says the club manager to GP.
"Nothing we can accept"
A police report has been filed by the club regarding unauthorized influence. The investigation is ongoing.
IFK Göteborg's board writes in a statement on the club's website that they give their full support to Håkan Mild and the rest of the organization – where all forms of threats are "unacceptable".
"We as an association need to have a serious discussion about what culture we want to build around IFK Göteborg. The development we are in now is nothing we members and supporters can accept – but need help to turn around", they continue.
