Ismaik, a Jordanian billionaire who owns 60% of 1860, was the club’s only hope of meeting the payment deadline. 1860 were relegated from Germany’s second division on Tuesday after a play-off defeat to Jahn Regensburg, a team who were playing fourth-tier football the season before. Despite missing the payment, Ismaik said he will continue to support the club at the fourth or fifth level “and push forward necessary changes”. The statement added: “His emotional ties to 1860 and his loyalty to the fans remains strong. The financial commitment to the beneficial work of TSV 1860 is also not affected by the aforementioned business decision.” Ismaik is at loggerheads with those remaining at the club over changes he wants pushed through that 1860 said on Thursday “the club cannot fulfill for legal and organisational reasons”. The Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper reported that Ismaik, who only has 49% voting rights at 1860 in line with the Bundesliga’s 50-plus-1 regulation, has made his financial support dependent on conditions that would have given him more power. The 50-plus-1 rule seeks to limit the influence of external backers. Ismaik, who did not attend Tuesday’s play-off defeat, has denied any responsibility for the club’s plight and accused management of “unscrupulous power struggles”. President Peter Cassalette and chief executive Ian Ayre resigned on Tuesday, leaving vice-presidents Heinz Schmidt and Hans Sitzberger in charge. The play-off loss at home was marred by violence from angry fans. Around 1,000 riot police lined up to prevent the situation escalating as the game was held up for 15 minutes. 1860 had the third most expensive squad in the second division after Stuttgart and Hannover, who both secured their return to the Bundesliga. 1860 finished third from botom, leading to the play-off against the third division’s third-place finisher. 1860, who won the Bundesliga in 1966 and played in the top flight as recently as 2004, returned to the third level for the first time in 24 years, but Friday’s missed deadline means they will drop even further. 1860’s under-21, under-19, under-17 and under-16 teams were also relegated this season.

VillaChris Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Depends what Dortmund want to do really. Sell on a few of their talented youngsters and win some cups and they can get away with a tier 2 manager. They should be challenging Bayern Munich much more. I actually feel a pragmatic manager would be a better bet as they really are hopeless at the back. Ajax weren't much better so think they'll be a long way behind Bayern again.

VillaChris Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Apparently he worked with Nagelsmann for a bit at Hoffenheim and did a good job with the Bundesliga 2nd team he took over last season. Schalke should be doing a lot better with the squad they have. They remind me a lot of Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 20 points from 11 games with a poor team in the BL2 hopefully he will be decent, I have reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sure there is some PR-firm who is raking in millions for designing it. I like it thou, no need to change it. Does kinda remind me of when the new stadium they built in Gothenburg was to be named and they hired a famous local author to do it. What he came up with? The stadium was previously named "Old Ullevi" and is now called "New Old Ullevi" (if you translate from Swedish) They guy behind the name, Sture Allén got paid £ 4000 for brainstorming this gem of a name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Four games a week are selected. One on Friday evening, one on Saturday at 5.30 and then two on Sunday so similar to prem. I also read they were thinking of adding Monday night games although not sure if it will be this season. Decent chance both those games will be moved although Leipzig might stay on the Saturday at half 2 if they have a CL game the following week.
