In "Ruhrpott" the big two are Schalke04 and Borussia Dortmund.. But there´s plenty of interesting minor clubs like Bochum, RW Essen and Duisburg as well

I might get this wrong but they where a third division team until a young and talented coach/shoe salesman named Sacchi took over as manager and led them to glory. As the financial meltdown hit Parmalat he left for AC Milan where he created a truly legendary team that ruled Europe at the time.

Companies like CFS, Chiavari, Wyscout SpA and InStatFootball provide scouting service for a fee to lots of clubs.. Not sure we need that much scouts

How on earth do you work that out..? It hardly would affect the losses at all or say about 15% of them at a guess.

We burn £1.2-£1.5M per month... Spank me with a kipper and call me Charlie!!! That´s even worse than I imagined, and I have imagined it being pretty bad.. So at the moment the club is a £15-18m a year bonfire burning money and people will no doubt expect things to become better soon.

We cant even get a former player and Rangers supporter like Sir Alex Ferguson to give us a hand a few months..

He wasn´t, people booed because he was taken off...

Not sure I want us promoted unless the team is totally replaced..

I found myself speculating on how much a total replacement of all our first team players would cost us.. and how long until they would start to perform

Bleeding great way to ruin a weekend this... FFS!

Ferguson resigned rather quickly when he realised that his new boss at Utd was an accountant..

Both looked promising..

Cheeky bugger..

If we could loan a manager from Newcastle...

That will take a sizeable financial contribution by a new board.. Not something that they have promised really

Managers, coaches, players... All of them, OUT!

Amazing how bad things can get.. Unless the current or coming top brass commits something like £10m to get rid of and replacing current and former managers, coaches, players etc we might as well refrain from getting promoted at all

Looking forward to this regardless.. I must be a sucker for punishment

Give people a reason to come back, and they will come back.. But unless there´s a buzz around the club you can forget it. Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

When my dad grew up it was always the directors picking the team, it actually was standard until the 60´s...

I thought the idea of these guys coming here was to play them.. We all know what we can expect from the regular players I guess?

No.. I don´t believe that´s correct at all He might be up to something else perhaps

That´s one step to far VW..

Must just say that it have been a pleasure talking proper football again.. Transfer deadline thread etc Well done all of us
