  1. While this might be true for most clubs, there are a few examples the other way, most prominently Bayern Munich who created a profit in double figures, million Euros wise. Even if their main sponsors dropped out, they would still be in black figures.
  2. I wonder (not negatively or biased) what folks here consider to be homegrown, having in mind the National teams of Germany and Switzerland with about 50% immigrant offspring, players like Ozil, Podolski, Gomez or Shaqiri. Most of those were already born in Germany or Switzerland and definitely all of them came through the youth systems of those countries.
  3. To add to my post from yesterday, now I know at least one of my defenders in the 2nd League Manager Game of kicker sports magazine ;)
  4. Don't know how the law is exactly in the UK, but he might have a case for cancelling the contract due to deliberate fraud. In Germany, this would definitely be the case. This whole plan of signing him and selling him on is against some FIFA transfer rules, BTW.
  5. True. Cologne narrowly missed out on the promotion playoffs this year and are one of my promotion favourites. They have a young, promising squad and averaged about 30,000 in the stands. I'm not sure about the quality of their new manager, Austrian ex-international Peter Stoger, but Roman will certainly be in the mix for the starting line-up!
  6. Wonderful news, now we just need a good backup keeper!
  7. What about "The End of Civilization"?
  8. Thanks Yngwie, misunderstood that. But they want to let the pitch grow in peace, so I think it's likely the home match will be the last one of pre season.
  9. According to ICTFC, there will be maximum one home game on 3rd August, due to pitch and drainage reconstruction works. Let's hope it goes as planned and we'll find good opposition for it.
  10. Not necessarily true, it depends on when their departure is decided. My experience is that editing and printing takes about 6 weeks, but it may be quicker in Scotland.
  11. What about a monthly Q&A / signing hour with one of the players? It could be located in the Social Club but held in the late afternoon and designed especially for youths.
  12. Possibly, but OTOH Roberts was the key to Foran's goal against DU which is included.
  13. Nevertheless I wish him two 40 yard crackers in each match against our shadows.
  14. I think someone finally pointed this out to him. Isn't this part of the new anti-racism rulings?
  15. Scarlet, I've got some of their albums, too, though my favourite songs are from the time after their renaming to Starship.
  16. The left (home?) kit reminds me of the Basel home kit. Need I repeat that I like it?
  17. Worth a try. He loves to cut inside anyway.
  18. I see the German Bundesliga ahead. Bayern Munich's domination might say otherwise, but there was a three horse race for the Champions League qualifying spot on the last match day and even a four horse race for the Europa League. There's also much more financial fair play in the Bundesliga and the debt total is about 10% of the total in La Liga. The worst league in relation to the population number must be the Austrian. 8 million people and a standard even below the SPL. Champions Salzburg were eliminated from the CL qualifiers by the champions of Luxemburg!!
  19. What career Rival? He has the same problem as most young Austrian players which is that they overestimate themselves. Before he came to ICT he wasn't good enough for a side that got relegated from the Austrian Bundesliga which has no better standard than the SPL and teams with average crowds of 1600. This number is only because of the 6,000 away fans when one of the Vienna teams visits, in other matches they have 1100 or so. Those Austrian players who make the breakthrough move to a German club at the age of 14 (Alaba) or are born in Germany with an Austrian father (Harnik).
  20. Missed out the last 3 matches but his club grasped safety on the last match day with a 3-0 away to Sturm Graz. In his last appearance, another 0-6, this time against Red Bull Salzburg, he was substituted after 53 minutes. I don't know whether it was due to injury, however.
  21. According to BBC, Kidderminster midlfielder James Vincent is also bound to join us. Replacement for OTJ?
  22. Munchen is Munich. Monchengladbach is Monchengladbach and situated near Dusseldorf. I only passed Hamburg several times and once arrived there with the ferry from Newcastle, but had no time as it was 12 noon and I still had 500 miles ahead and wanted to be home for supper. I think I managed it around 9 p.m. Jever has one of my dad's favourite beers, is that enough said?
  23. To me it was the first derby which would have been even more memorable had Rosscoe found the net with his first minute header
  24. Well, actually here in Germany the Nuremberg fans have the saying better 5th than 4th, but that's because in their local dialect fourth is pronouced like the word for the supporters of the local rival Greuther Furth
  25. Are you sure ICT can afford two assistants Scarlet?
