Bayern's very own Uli Hoeness..!! I am a also a BVB,and since my youth followed German football. I never liked Bayern,like many had a love-hate-respect ,in direction Hoeness. But it must be said, for his club,and for German football he gave everything. A top manager,top descisions and organisation,where few others never knew what that meant. Great also support for the German national team. Oh yes,he was all Bayern & German football..the bloke couldn't half grind, and wind many people up.but he was bloody successfull,people listened,and Like I said in all the vocabulary that covers "football manager" he was the best..... He also did so much for clubs in financial need and did a lot for local charities and organisations. A lot of this stuff never came to the surface. For someone who had to retire early through injury, he made a good living.
Finnegan Posted 26 July 2019 Posted 26 July 2019 Haha this is awesome. Has there ever been a better fit for player and club than De Rossi and Boca Juniors? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49111587 They will love him.

I still can't get over the fact there's an Argie lad plays for them called Kevin Mac Allister
spacemunky Posted 27 July 2019 Posted 27 July 2019 Really crap choice by Bale if he goes to China. Sure.... money, but how much is enough? Enjoy your retirement.
The Bear Posted 27 July 2019 Posted 27 July 2019 I guess he's still just about young enough to go there for a season or two, set up his entire family for life, and then come back to Europe for a couple of seasons.
Super_horns Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Seems like someone at Real has had a change of heart and Bale is staying put .. For now ..?

The Bear Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Apparently the same people that own the Chinese club also own Inter. They wanted to sign him in China and then send him on loan to Inter (next season I think). Possibly naughty way of getting round FFP.
SemperEadem Posted 28 July 2019 Author Posted 28 July 2019 Bundesliga 2. started this weekend. Can’t see past Stuttgart and HSV for the top two spots. Got a feeling Kiel will do well. Bochum got off to a bad start loosing 3.1 and by all accounts were rubbish.

HSV need to get back on track after the dismal end to last season.
Soup Posted 28 July 2019 Posted 28 July 2019 Battle going on in Spain between the Spanish Federation and La Liga over Friday and Monday fixtures. Even in Spain where most fans don't travel they actually give a shit

Yeah amazing what they did in Germany last season. Just shows what can be done if you make a stand.

CosbehFox Posted 29 July 2019 Posted 29 July 2019 Italy announced their fixtures today. 4 weeks before the season starts ??

There was a Monday game last weekend in the 3.Liga and fans protested there too (throwing tennis balls onto the pitch before kick off). In the UK fans are just accepting of whatever happens (in the majority). The classic British thing of hating something but if someone asks you say everything is fine to be polite. The other problem is that Sky (and other TV companies) really have everyone in their grasp and unless stadiums are literally empty, nothing will change.
Wymsey Posted 1 August 2019 Posted 1 August 2019 Bale reportedly spotted playing golf again, whilst Real Madrid were involved in the Audi Cup. https://blogs.elconfidencial.com/deportes/a-mi-bola/2019-07-31/gareth-bale-toshack-john-real-madrid-zidane-florentino_2153343/
spacemunky Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Always happy to see Dortmund beat Bayern. Sancho with a goal and an assist in the 2-0 win. Edit: I probably should have put this in the European football thread
