same s***, different day...

we lost 4:0 away to Dortmund, it was 3:0 at half time. I am speechless about the performance of the "team". not worth to mention...

we are playing Hamburg at home next Saturday and then away to Cologne

I doubt that we gain one more point until the winter break if we continue playing like we did on Saturday

not good to hear...

We are playing Hamburg at home this afternoon.
Actually,we need a win but I am not confident at all. Maybe, if we lose, our coach will be fired which I personally hope...

Won't watch this match though

Can't believe he's still there.

Can't believe he's still there.

the club can't afford his comensation payment that's why he is still there. In fact, we are in debts.

the club is that much in debt that it doesn't get a credit from the bank for financing a new building. therefore, it issued a bond that can be unterwritten by the fans. it expires in 6 years time and offers an interest rate of 6% p.a....

 

[happy]

We suffered the 2nd 4:0 defeat in a row. this time at home against Hamburg. Can't say anything about the match as I wasn't in the stadium.

We are playing Cologne away next Sunday.
As the coach won't be sacked this week (according to some statements of the president) I really hope this will be his last match though.

Today is the last match day before the winter break. We are playing Cologne away at 5.30pm

I don't have much hope that we gain at least 1 point. Although we need 3 points quite urgently, I think that a defeat is better as we would most likely get rid of the coach...
So, I don't know what is better? Winning and keep the coach or losing and get rid of the coach...

Anyway, some players will move to other clubs during the upcoming transfer window.

down 3-0. that's 11-0 across three weeks. oenning can't have long left, but who can take over?the players have to take some responsibility as well...

 

[happy]

YES! The coach has been fired!!!!! verhead:
No idea who will be his replacement...

Some news:
The team is back on training since Dec 28. The new coach Dieter Hecking (former coach of Hanover) cut short 6 days of the player's holiday so they had to be back in the old year

We also have some changes in the squad:
- Peer Kluge is likely to move to Schalke
- Dario Vidosic and Matthew Spiranovic are likely to leave on loan (no news on that as they are in Kuwait; no idea when they'll be back)

- Breno, Brasilian defender, joins us on loan from Bayern Munich
- Andreas Ottl, defensive midfielder (Bayern Munich) is said to join on loan as well
- rumour: Roy Makaay, striker, Feyenoord Rotterdam, former Bayern Munich player, will join Nrnberg as well

I don't have any idea who else will leave
The team is flying to Turkey for a trainings camp tomorrow (Saturday) and I suppose a lot of transfer issues will be sorted out until they are back.

Season continues on Jan 17 with the away match to Schalke

no surprise with this one

they need to keep playing to keep their world cup hopes alive

not sure if they still want to move now that we got the new coach
I suspect that they have to go (order given from the club) as we now have too many players in the squad (30+)

we don't have a striker who can do this... that's why we probably get Roy Makaay...

we've scored only 12 goals in 17 matches... but conceeded 32

just an update on our transfer activities

- Breno and Ottl arrived at the trainings camp in Turkey; both are on loan until the end of the season

- Peer Kluge, our best player so far, moved to Schalke 04 for 1,5 million
- todays paper write that Matt Spiranovic will move on loan to a club based outside of Germany; no mention of the club
- no news on Dario so far

 

[happy]

Aussie no. 1 is gone

Mathew Spiranovic moves on loan to Urawa FC, Japan. He will stay there until the end of the year 2010; Urawa has an option to buy him after this period of time.
Urawa FC is coached by a German, Volker Finke.

Good luck and all the best for him!

The 2nd leg of the season starts for us today as well.
We are playing Schalke away at 3.30pm CET this afternoon. Regarding yesterdays results, we need a win as both Berlin and Stuttgart as well as Bochum have won.

Peer Kluge, who was our best player in the first 17 matches plays for Schalke today whereas Breno and Ottl may get a starting spot in our team. Our keeper Raphael Schfer is back after his suspension which will give our defence a bit more stability.
However, we haven't made a single transfer for our offense  :
