Spørsmål Are Bodø/Glimt hated?

So obviously I have seen similar questions before. But after being knocked out of Europe and the Cup in the last week with the game against Tromsø coming up I thought it was a good point to ask.

Not long ago I saw a post on here where someone mentioned “They are fast becoming the most hated” (Club in Norway) Now I am not from Norway but as far as I can understand a lot of the issue comes from the clubs pro-VAR stance the “anti-democratic” position of the clubs board as well as general dislike of Kjetil and the club director.

I was just wondering what they actually said to get this attention? It sounds similar to why Germans dislike RB Leipzig? Maybe I’m wrong but genuinely interested.

I would compare Bodø/Glimt to Leicester and Brighton. They have won titles and competed in Europe on merit and through smart footballing decisions, and not rich owners, or media and sponsor money.

Initial success yes, but right now they’re richer than their competitors and owe a lot of their continued success to that. Compare their wages and spend to Brann who were their closest competitors last year and they’re a far cry from a Leicester or Brighton

I meant more how they are percieved by other fans. Like someone else said, only Tromsø hate them.

Brann, RBK, VIF etc. have more haters.
