They are not a big club and are now in the third tier in Germany but have massive potential. Additionally they are a club with a potentially large fan base. What would be your pick if money was no object from France, Germany, England, Spain or Italy? Oh and the reason why you pick that club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a 50/50 chance of winning the league and qualifying for the UCL every year, massive fanbase, awesome stadium with so much history.

.Williamson. 82,222 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Not in the leagues you mentioned but I'd buy Bohemians in Dublin. They'd have a blue and white away kit that would eventually become their home colours, replacing the red and black they currently play in. Gradually over the space of a couple of years I would turn them entirely unionist. They would be the loyalist equivalent of that taig club playing in the UK. I would lose the entirety of their current fan base but I would gain thousands in the north and in mainland UK. Since I have clearly got a lot of money left as I bought an Irish club and have profited from the unionist people finding this hilarious I would then look about buying Derry City. I would remove them from the league of Ireland and apply to play in the Irish league in the north. I would change nothing other than a union flag flying from their ground. Thats the dream.

Go one further, buy Cliftonville and return it to being the protestant club it was when it was founded before the rats took over and turned it into a stinking republican one.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 FC Union Berlin They've got the fan base potential, they play in Germany's capital, so it's a very attractive prospect for players.... and you'd be joining a cult... 1. FC Union Berlin is recognized as one of Europe's cult clubs, based on many unique fan and club initiatives over the last two decades.[15][16][17] The nicknames of the club are Eiserne (The Iron Ones) or Eisern Union (Iron Union), both of which are used to refer to the club from Berlin. Their nicknames evolved from the earlier sobriquet Schlosserjungs (metalworker boys), which was in reference to the blue kit the Union played in, as it was reminiscent of the overalls worn by local workers.[18] In former GDR times Union was known for a rivalry with Dynamo Berlin who was affiliated with East Germany's Secret Service Stasi. Union was patronized by Eastern German Trade Union FDGB. The club played some identificatory role in the unofficial opposition against the authorities of the communist system.[19] In May 2004, the supporters raised enough money to secure the club's license for fourth-division football through a campaign called 'Bleed for Union'.[20] This catchphrase was not meant metaphorically. One element of the campaign was that fans donated blood to Berlin hospitals and then gave the money they received from the blood bank to their club. After 2010 Union Berlin became increasingly attractive for new Berliners, even internationals, who were drawn to the atmosphere at the club.[21] Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangeclement 570 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Kaiserslauten , they have a large fan Base and a fantastic stadium.
