Well, Schalke are too volatile, I fear. The average coach lasts for about 8 months there. And if Schaaf already sulked because he felt he didn't get proper backing by the Eintracht board, I don't want to imagine what he would think about CT and HH.

Looks like Jens Keller is applying for the Frankfurt job:

Considering the way both teams played, this was pretty lucky, and borderline-undeserved by the HSV, but, all in all, I'd rather have Hamburg in the first flight than Karlsruhe. Even though Karlsruhe would've meant another first flight stadium within spitting distance, but I already got the superior Darmstadt for that.

So all in all, while I think Hamburg got super lucky, I am pleased.
At least one record bloody Bayern can't get.

Would've loved watching the derbies again if Hamburg had gotten relegated, though.

Glad they survived. HSV is a proper top German club.

Theyre like a cockroach you just can't kill.

As someone once said "They are so bad, they don't even manage to get relegated."

Watched Tuchel's first press conference and presentation of Tuchel and I liked his enthusiasm. He looks fired up after a long year.

In more positive BVB news, Roman Bürki is close to joining the club according to Kicker

That would be a great move for Roman Bürki and the BVB. Less cool for Mitch Langerak, though, as IMO Bürki is quite a bit better than him.

by Hapless_Hans Thu Jun 04, 2015 1:06 am

They need a new keeper desperately. Langerak doesn't cut it, period. It's no coincidence he was on the bench all that time.

Good for them if they sign Bürki.

Then use part of the Gündogan money to sign Geis.

by Toffer Harley Fri Jun 05, 2015 6:19 pm

the league can't do without those fans... and Labbadia slidetacklin' vdV

and if HSV really gets Mehmedi now, that should be a good sign - even though i highly doubt it.

Unfortunately I don't have the current print version of Kicker here, but their annual survey was already published by a couple other news sources, too. They conduct a survey where they ask the current Bundesliga players about their favourite players, coaches etc. These are the results I could find so far:

Best field player:
1. Kevin De Bruyne - 52.5%
2. Arjen Robben - 23.5%
3. Karim Bellarabi - 6.6%
4. Alex Meier - 2.7%
4. Thiago - 2.7%

Best goalkeeper:
1. Manuel Neuer - 26.8%
2. Yann Sommer - 16.9%
3. Roman Bürki - 14.2%
4. René Adler - 10.9%
5. Bernd Leno - 8.2%
6. Timo Horn - 7.1%

Best coach:
1. Lucien Favre - 30.6%
2. Markus Weinzierl - 24.6%
3. Bruno Labbadia - 10.9%

Best referee:
1. Florian Meyer
2. Knut Kircher - 19.3%
3. Manuel Gräfe - 15.9%

Worst coach:
1. Roberto di Matteo - 30.5%
2.
3.

Time for a new iteration of the Bundesliga thread, in time for the arrival of the 2015/16 season cheers

The fixture list for the new season has been announced:

http://bundesliga.cdncwp.de/assets/pdfs/de-1.pdf

The season kicks off on Friday, 14th August, 20.30h with FC Bayern vs Hamburger SV - a game that encompasses all of Bundesliga, the best and the worst :bow:

by rwo power Sat Jun 27, 2015 6:03 pm

And the Borussen Derby is right on the first matchday, too!

Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Mönchengladbach

I'm curious how Thomas Tuchel will set up the Dortmund team. And hopefully, Gladbach will manage to have a good start nonetheless!

by jibers Sat Jun 27, 2015 6:25 pm

Can't wait to see Bayern win the league by October again.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Jun 27, 2015 6:48 pm

New thread pls. RWO make it happen :bow:

by rwo power Sat Jun 27, 2015 6:50 pm

True! Just a moment!

Season 2014/15 is over now - please continue here for 2015/16:
