10 man Frankfurt conceded 2 in injury time to draw 3-3.Stindl hat trick.

Leipzig have signed Szoboszlai from Salzburg.

A lot of the English journos were saying Arsenal were favorites for him.

Leipzig are favourites for almost every decent player Salzburg produce. They are basically their development side now.

Manuel Baum sacked by Schalke after 2 1/2 months and 10 league games. Huub Stevens in (again) apparently.

Poor Huub is never going to be able to enjoy retirement because of Schalke.

Seems to only be for the final 2 games before the 'break', but if anyone can breathe some life into them it's him.

If they decide all hope is lost and start preparing for the 2.Liga (if they even get a license..) then they should look to bring in Friedhelm Funkel. He's the most experienced 2.Liga coach available currently.

Schalke were 2-1 up away to Augsburg. They were playing against 10 men. It was the 93rd minute...

..And they throw it away. Richter equalises and they are now 27 games without a win.

Played off the pitch by Bielefeld for most of today's game. Things are looking desperate. Two more losses this week makes it 29 games without a win. They haven't won since January 17th.

The all time record is 31 games set by Tasmania Berlin in the 60s. Their story is quite something and worth a read.

Their current chairman said recently that he hopes Schalke win soon, as Tasmania's Bundesliga record is the reason everyone in Germany knows his club and they want to keep it!

Tasmania fans have shown up outside the Olympiastadion this evening to cheer on Schalke. They don't want their record broken

It was inevitable. They've been kicking this debt-filled can down the road for a decade.

COVID just made it happen sooner than expected.

Doesn't look like much has changed even now. Signing Kolasinac on 100 grand per week is ridiculous behaviour when they are crying out for a creative midfielder and goalscorer.

LuckyGent88 · 08-01-2021 9:45pm

Some game between Gladbach and Bayern at the minute.

Gladbach were 2 down early but now lead 3-2 just after half time. Great come back so far.

Expect more goals

Frisian · 09-01-2021 1:58pm

No more goals, but a needed win for Borussia.

Classic Dortmund. Dominate away against Leipzig last week to get a big 3 points and then draw at home to the bottom team Mainz the following week.

So frustrating

Mr.Nice Guy · 19-01-2021 1:03am

It was nice to see Kostic and Jovic linking up again. They were great entertainment alongside Haller and Rebic not too long ago.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 22-01-2021 10:51pm

Dortmund really to get a proper manager in place soon, 1 point from the last 9

They need to sell a few so called important players. Attitude all wrong in the team....players stealing a living and the club is allowing it to happen.

Andre Silva is quietly having a great season. Up to 14 goals now, level with Haaland. Pleased to see him kicking on. I thought he could be top tier level a few years ago but it didn't quite pan out that way.

Sancho, Reus, Meunier, Brandt are the worst cases, Reynas gone cold, prior to injury Hazard didnt do much....the list goes on.

Rafa Benitez is free...could he be a trainer they may look at???

Their keeper Burkri is mediocre as well, how they've stuck with him as their first choice for so long I don't know. Rafa would be a great shout to sort them out

They dont have the money to sort it out, normally in good nick as they can roll it out of the ground to get sun. I drove past the ground yesterday morning and the grass was out in the frost, this morning there was approx. 15cm snow...I suspect tactics at play.

Acosta · 24-01-2021 5:24pm

Hertha sack Labbadia and the director of football. Pal Dardai back in charge of the first team. They should have done this at least a couple of weeks ago.

Preetz should have been gone years ago. Funny is that some of what Klinsmann complained about and wanted changed when he left is now being changed....

Oat23 · 24-01-2021 8:17pm

Looks like Gisdol might be out the door in Köln shortly too. If they are smart they would do what Hertha have done with Preetz and sack Horst Heldt along with him.

I don't know how Gisdol does it but he keeps convincing sport directors to give him unnecessary contract extensions. He did it at HSV and he finessed a new contract out of Heldt over the summer too. Now, instead of having to pay him 6 months compensation Köln will have to pay him 2.5 years worth.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 06-02-2021 6:03pm

Another poor loss for Dortmund, Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Leipzig all winning as well means they'll be under pressure to make top 4 this year.
Much needed win for Mainz as well

Or was it another great win for Freiburg?

Streich doing magical things there year after year. There was an inevitability about the result today given the direction both teams have been going in over the past few weeks.

Cookiemunster · 06-02-2021 8:14pm

Even though they'd hit a wall with Farvre, it was madness sacking him with no plan for a replacement. I mean, if you sack him because you think the CL place is in doubt, you get in someone experienced who you think can improve the team, not a 38 year old who's never been a head coach before.

I find it hard to believe they'd be doing quite as badly if he was still there.

Irishmale0399 · 06-02-2021 9:08pm

Cookie, the problem is that Zorc and co employed Edin Terzić and forced him upon Favre so that they would have a replacement ready if they had to sack Favre. Looks very much like they knew Rose had a €5 million get out clause in his contract this summer and hoped things would good good. Rose has already said BMG know what his plan is, however he hasnt said he wants to stay with them. I am lead to believe a certain Mr Klopp (his mentor) is guiding him towards Dortmund.

Agent Coulson · 15-02-2021 4:01pm

Gladbach confirm Marco Rose will leave in the summer and take over as Dortmund manager.

Good appointment if he was joining now. Dortmund need to do something soon to make the CL next year

Good draw for Bayern, coming from 3-1 down at one point. Was always going to be a bit of a World Club hangover.

Oat23 · 26-02-2021 11:55pm

According to Sky tonight, Schalke's senior players are demanding that Gross be removed as coach immediately. Their reasons include a poor standard of training, tactics and the fact that after 2 months he still does not know the names of some of his players.

Schneider has refused to budge so far but another loss tomorrow could spell the end for him.

With the financial problems Schalke have, could they be in free fall and get relegated from Bundesliga 2 (next season) as well? Are they in that bad of a position?

Not looking good, again, for Schalke, 3 down after 30.

The Schalke fans I know think they will be capable of putting a squad together to challenge for a top 2 spot next season, but if it fails they could be stuck in the 2.liga (or worse due to licensing problems) for quite a while. They haven't got the wiggle room financially to hang around in the 2.liga for several years like we have.

The Golden Miller · 28-02-2021 2:33am

Reus makes some difference when fit. Too bad he never seems to get a good run before being injured. Even when not sticking out, pulling the strings. One of the classiest players to watch. On form very few better.

Oat23 · 28-02-2021 11:53am

Everyone at Schalke has been sacked.

https://twitter.com/RaeComm/status/1365954340922523648

Looks like they'll promote from within to get to the end of the season. Peter Knäbel will move from his role as youth technical director and replace Schneider. Mike Büskens will replace Gross.

MonkstownHoop · 28-02-2021 12:23pm

Jaysis, some mess.
