Rucksackfranzose Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Was to expect, Wolfsburg were 8 matches without a win in all competitions and are out of the DFB-Pokal due to a mistake he's responsible for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy Posted October 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2021 Short and weird career at Wolfsburg. Started with that sub mistake disaster in the DFB Pokal, then had quite an impressive run and now this losing streak and the sacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted October 26, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted October 26, 2021 And here it is, official now! Wish him all the best, even if it's Wolfsburg. There's enough quality in that squad to make Kohfeldt's philosophy work, and I hope he becomes a successful Bundesliga coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at all interested in Wolfsburg but I think very highly of Kohfeldt. I guess I'll be rooting for him to do well, but not so well that Wolfsburg win the league or anything. Although, at this point I'd probably accept anyone else winning the league as long as it's not Bayern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now that we're not in the first division anymore and won't be soon again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Coma+ Posted November 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 1, 2021 From the Athletic today: Florian Kohfeldt’s reign at Wolfsburg got off to good start on Saturday. His side won 2-0 at Bayer Leverkusen after four defeats in a row that had seen club bosses pull the plug on Mark van Bommel. Kohfeldt followed the Thomas Tuchel protocol for giving a confused, under-coached side a bit of stability: he changed the system to three at the back. The result was stasis rather than good football in the first half, but after the break a couple of smart substitutions made the difference. Dodi Lukebakio and Paulo Otavio broke through on Leverkusen’s right side to set up goals for Lukas Nmecha and Maximilian Arnold. Now it is Bayer in crisis mode. They haven’t won a game in any competition since getting beaten 5-1 by Bayern two weeks ago — a run of five games without a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted November 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 1, 2021 Dont know if its ever come up before but how do we all feel in general about posting full articles behind paywalls? Just asking for the future - personally I do pay for an athletic subscription as its basically the best coverage we can get here and provides good value imo.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted November 2, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 2, 2021 So the canucks sub reddit (nhl) used to have a couple athletic reporters covering the canucks over the years comment on the matter. Basically they said a paragraph here or there is fine to share but not the whole article naturally. All I can really offer. If anyone is interested I have half a dozen guest passes or so I can hand out, I think it gives you a week free trial. They offer pretty good deals eventually for a year sub like this year I think I renewed for under 30$ cad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually signed up to the Athletic for the Leeds United coverage a couple years ago before they were promoted to the EPL. To be honest I don't think the Bundesliga coverage is all that great. Honigstein spits out an article once or twice a week and the content can be good but it's not frequent enough for me to continue paying $60 a year. They used to have a weekly podcast with Rapha, Christophe Bierman and Kevin Hatchard but that was dropped this year. I'm not sure that I'll be renewing.

Administrator Stan Posted November 2, 2021 Administrator Share Posted November 2, 2021 I've edited the post just incase we do get contacted by The Athletic. On another forum I'm on, TA's legal team contacted them and said we must stop publishing articles (in full) otherwise they'll take further legal action.

Yeah honestly the Canucks coverage is why I signed up years ago. My favourite beat writer at the time joined them about 3 or 4 years ago and started up the local coverage, its by far the best I can consume here. The bundesliga coverage is just gravy for me and I tend to agree its ok. Ive always liked Honigstein but there isnt much to choose from for coverage in english over this way anyways. I was sad to see they didnt bring back the steilcast as well One tip if you dont renew they usually give you pretty good offers dont ever pay full price.. you should be able to get at least 50-60% off. They also give alot of codes near christmas for discounts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
