Thommo 708 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Just a year and a half ago Unirea Urziceni beat us 4-1 at Ibrox, beat Sevilla 1-0 and drew with Stuttgart in the Champions League. Currently, they are second bottom of the Romanian League and look certain to be relegated, astonoshing turn around.Wonder what happened to them, think they only have about 3 or 4 of the players that they had in that Champions League campaign.

Think he plays with Steaua Bucharest now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelavic. 13 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Petrescu left for a Russian second division club (got them promoted last year), so that might be why it's all gone to pot.Still one of my worst matches as a Rangers supporter- we were just so unlucky that night. What's worse was I remember how shite they were in the first 10 minutes, and telling my brother that I could see us taking 5 or 6 off them I was thinking the same. I still believe they were very lucky that night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's worse was I remember how shite they were in the first 10 minutes, and telling my brother that I could see us taking 5 or 6 off them I honestly thought every team in our group would put 4 or 5 past them each game. I still think they were doing OK when they replaced Petrescu with Ronny Levy but I've just found out they are now managed by Marian Pana. I just find it hard to believe how they can go from one extreme to the other in such a short space of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still real candidates for the drop this season . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they have financial problems though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still real candidates for the drop this season .It's a different story with Wolfsburg, some players are gone (Dzeko most recent), but Wolfsburg have been the biggest spenders in Germany backed by Volkswagen. It just hasn't clicked for them this season. I doubt they'll get relegated though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
