He probably had more to spend than Brann. Not that I've bothered checking. However, I consider his most impressive feat was turning it around after Molde were absolutely shit at the beginning of the 2013 season, languishing at the bottom of the table for quite some time, and then finishing fifth or sixth or whatever after that miserable start.
Of course, most managers would have been sacked long before he turned it around, so it might be less impressive than it seems.
Thought Brann was third on the budget table? May be wrong, mind.
Anyways, can agree with that. Absolute horrid start to the season and ending it with a cup victory, honestly think he's a good manager. Didn't want to, because, well, Molde = eww and Solskjær = kinda eww. But still.
