Cratz gets his cards

Cratz's last lap 
The lap of honour Cratz made at the end of last night's 3-1 defeat in Stockholm proved to be his final act as Helsingborg boss. Cratz had milked the applause of Hammarby fans grateful for his efforts in leading the club to their first league title last year.

Angry supporters 
However, the gesture did not go down well with his own supporters or board. Today Cratz was greeted at Helsingborg's training ground by fans with banners asking 'Who pays your wages - Helsingborg or Hammarby?'. And tonight, following a board meeting at the Olympia stadium, Helsinborg decided to tear up his contract after only nine months.

Helsingborg disappoint 
Helsingborg had been tipped to win the Allsvenskan this term but have won just six of 17 games, although, ironically, they are a place above Hammarby in the table, lying seventh. The club's former assistant coach Peter Swärd will take charge of the team.
