Moderator Tommy Posted May 6, 2018 Author Moderator Posted May 6, 2018 1:1 today, not the greatest results but the post-match atmosphere was amazing. Walked on the pitch, shook hands with Raphael Wolf, enjoyed the scenery.. amazing. Enjoying it while it lasts. Next season will be VERY tough to say the least.
Moderator Tommy Posted May 31, 2018 Author Moderator Posted May 31, 2018 So in the last couple of days Fortuna signed Kevin Stöger, and managed to extend with Kaan Ayhan. I have a very good feeling about all this. Every decision so far makes sense, which isn't very Fortuna-like.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 22, 2018 Author Moderator Posted July 22, 2018 @Mazzari I saw you supported Watford in the supporter list. What can you tell me about this kid?
Faithcore Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 But does he have enough international experience?

SchalkeUK Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Sometimes giving a new guy a hand up can be good and fruitful - at other times - such as ours at the moment - the hand should be right up

Apparently Funkel thinks Rensing and Wolf are too injury-prone, so he wants an experienced goalkeeper just in case. In the last months we had our 4th choice goalkeeper on the bench because Wolf and Wiesner were injured, so it kind of makes sense.

I just don't really get it anyway; Drobny's 39, hasn't really had any match practice in almost two years now, and even then when he was playing I was genuinely scared every time the ball got close to him. Don't want to sound mean as he's a top notch character, but he's way past it and has been that way for a few years at the very least...

Look who carpooled with Drobny Lukimya keeping fit at the 2nd team until he finds a new club.

Apparently they wanted to wait and see how the 2nd half of the season progresses, whereas Funkel wanted a decision right now. Still, odd and a huge loss for Fortuna.
SchalkeUK Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Perhaps your lot have caught the Ruhr virus - it started in Gelsenkirchen last season - spread to Dortmund (Naldo and Pulisic deals were daft) and now it seems as if the same crazy thinking has afflicted your lot!
Moderator Tommy Posted January 11, 2019 Author Moderator Posted January 11, 2019 Complete madness. The supporters are fuming. Petitions started, some call for an extraordinary club members meeting to vote the Management out, everyone using the hashtag #profunkel
Moderator Tommy Posted January 12, 2019 Author Moderator Posted January 12, 2019 Plot twist: Contract talks will resume, and there will be clarification before the next Bundesliga match against Freiburg I'm 100% sure the fans play a part in it. Robert Schäfer didn't expect that decision will backfire as drastically as it did. I've never seen that without exception, 100% of the supporters rallied behind Funkel
nudge Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I don't know if I could continue working with the club management under these circumstances if I were Funkel; this is some proper breach of trust there.

True. But they said they spoke again last night and realized that they were both a bit stubborn. I just want to keep Funkel, I don't care about anything else Feels like the whole "announcement" thing was a tiny bit rushed.

You don't rush something like that. I'm pretty sure that those people who made the decision don't want Funkel as a coach on the long run. I just don't think they were expecting such a negative reaction and now they see the success for the season in danger.
