The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Ivan Juric to Southampton


Recommended Posts

Interesting to see if they go a different route and maybe try for someone like Wagner or Stendel who have managed nearby before and have a different philosophy, or jump back on the PFM train and get Mark Hughes or similar.

Schalke appoint Christian Gross as their 4th manager this season. Insane.

 

 

They have any decent players?

 

Not really. Ozan Kobak is a quality centre half and it's rumoured that Liverpool might go in for him in the transfer window but other than him not much. They'll be forced to sell as well. They're a basket case club and they have debts that are spiralling out of control. They literally had to beg their season ticket holders not to take a refund for games missed due to COVID as they couldn't afford to reimburse them.

 

Quite sad really. They are traditionally Germanys 3rd biggest club  and have 160,000 members, only Bayern have more. They have a 62k stadium that they sold out every week but they are certainties for relegation. They've gone something like 30 games without winning in the league, going back to last season.

They are like us in a lot of ways in terms of size, fan base and lack of success - to the point i'm pretty sure Freddy Sheppard tried to establish a link between the clubs back in the 90s.

When they played Manchester United in the champions league semi final bbc were interviewing a load of their fans quite a few just randomly brought up how they are the German Newcastle.

 

 

Why has this happened? Why are they ran so poorly?
