Leaves about to drop?

There is a major crisis at Björklöven; the team has only managed to take six points from their last 13 games and are now facing a real battle to stay in Allsvenskan. Many fans will be happy to learn that sporting director Arto Sirviö has decided to leave the Umeå outfit at the end of the season, but is the timing to announce this the best? Well, maybe for him as the risk of him being marched out of his house and hung from the nearest tree has been apparent for some time. We will undoubtedly find out in the next few weeks.

Hand over the mike, dude.

While Björklöven is dropping like a rock, Troja/Ljungby has got a bit of wind under their sails and has claimed some impressive scalps recently - Leksand, Bofors and Borås, to mention a few. Sundsvall  is also quietly maintaining their points harvest. With ten games to go, the battle to stay up looks more uncertain than the battles at the top end of the table.
