Well, technically that partnership is over. That was certainly true in the past, but Kühne has now entirely withdrawn support. The club also lost the more lucrative Fly Emirates sponsor. As such, it certainly makes sense why all of HSV's acquisitions this summer were free until they bought Heyer from Osnabruck with the funds from a sale of Pollersbeck to Lyon. HSV undeniably still likely has a bigger overall budget than just about anyone else in the 2. BuLi atm, but their advantage they had two years ago is now long gone and blown. They will have to settle for 2. BuLi caliber signings if they're to work their way back up to the Ersteliga.

Where is he actually? Injured?

I'll take that one though

Rather dubious PK call... but uh... yay?

This is undoubtedly true. Where in the first season they played as if they felt they belonged in the first season until the spring, it's been a collective mental collapse ever since then. I think pure talent, and lack of urgency from other teams surrounding them, allowed them to coast towards the top for the first half of the last season, but once the rot came to the surface then it was simply a rapid decline. The players yesterday just looked awful, just utterly bereft of ideas and any confidence. Can only hope the back line improves with Ambrosius, van Drongelen, and Gyamerah coming off the physio tables, but my God was that ghastly to watch.

Missed out on promotion for a second straight year, abused by Sandhausen at home, scored on by Diki, and pitied by a lifelong Bremen fan - what a day Haha I appreciate your sympathy though. I'm not sure what the solution is at this point. So many overhauls at so many levels. Maybe the club needs to really humble themselves. Start with restructuring with the kids. Conversely, that may be too much pressure placed on the kiddos. I dunno... what a mess lol.

Almost certainly. No doubt someone has already trotted out the ceremonial club guillotine for whoever the club will collectively point the finger at.

Long since turned it off... but fucking Diki scored against us?! Good God, just a brutal day lol.

And that'll do it. Yaay another year in the Zweiteliga.

All true. Fortunately, Behrens looks a bit gassed. Hopefully I won't be biting my tongue later.

Haha I mean... not sure I'd have called that a PK, but I'll take it. Ja Hunt!! What an emphatic finish.

Ah, Stephan Ambrosius. My God, he looked like a kid a year ago.

I don't know who this unit of a fella coming on for HSV is.... curious.

Yeah I went from facepalm and "fuuuuu-" to laughter in a split second. Total shadenfreude, admittedly, after him likely sealing our tomb for another year.
