Moderator Tommy Posted January 12, 2019 Author Moderator Posted January 12, 2019 I agree, I just don't see a reason why they'd want to get rid of Funkel. He finally brought stability to the club, and managed to bring us from the relegation battle in the 2. Bundesliga to the Bundesliga, and played a very decent first half of the season. The players like and respect the hell out of him, the supporters love him, he's a local guy from the area who brought a new sense of identity to the club. The only thing I can think of is that Pfannenstiel came in with his "revolutionary" ideas from Hoffenheim, and probably wants to bring a "laptop-coach" like Nagelsmann in.
Faithcore Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 It's probably something like that, yeah. Funkel should be untouchable for Fortuna. For him, however, this should not be a new situation. Throughout Funkel's career there have always been people who have criticised his idea of playing football. He just lets his teams play the way they can. Funkel was mostly replaced by someone who wanted to play football in a more offensive and attractive way and thus failed, because those teams didn't have the necessary quality and Funkel was just aware of that.

We lost the first match against Bayern in penalties, now we are playing against Hertha for 3rd place. Gladbach vs. Bayern in the final later on.

Moderator Tommy Posted January 15, 2019 Author Moderator Posted January 15, 2019 Friedhelm Funkel's contract extended. Amazing how much the supporters played a part in it. Never witnessed anything like it before.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted January 18, 2019 Subscriber Posted January 18, 2019 Quote Markus Suttner: Brighton defender joins German club Fortuna Dusseldorf on loan Brighton defender Markus Suttner has joined German club Fortuna Dusseldorf on loan until the end of the season. The 31-year-old Austria full-back has not played a Premier League game for Chris Hughton's side this season. Suttner joined Brighton in July 2017 from German side Ingolstadt for an undisclosed fee, and he played 14 times as they finished 15th in the table. Fortuna Dusseldorf are 14th in the Bundesliga table but beat leaders Borussia Dortmund on 18 December. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46926651 1
Moderator Tommy Posted January 18, 2019 Author Moderator Posted January 18, 2019 I don't know what to expect from him, but if our starting left back Niko Gießelmann stays healthy, Suttner should just be a back-up.

A loan deal plus an option to make the move permanent for 7 Mio Euros. Stuttgart and Fulham were interested in him as well.

Moderator Tommy Posted January 30, 2019 Author Moderator Posted January 30, 2019 Quote “Fortuna Dusseldorf are ready to make a big economic effort for me. I don’t want to stay on the bench for the next six months. “The Germans offered €12m, but Sampdoria wanted €500,000 for the loan. We reached an agreement, I went back to training but I was then told me that [Samp] wanted to keep me in Italy so they could check up on me. I never want to come back. Come on, man. We desperately need another striker. Although I really doubt that we offered 12 Mio

Moderator Tommy Posted February 24, 2019 Author Moderator Posted February 24, 2019 Anyone got a goalkeeper they don't need? Wolf has some strange problems that kept and are still keeping him out for most of the season, Rensing has a stomach bug, and now Drobny fractured his hand. Hopefully Rensing will recover in time for Schalke. https://rp-online.de/sport/fussball/fortuna/fortuna-duesseldorf-jaroslav-drobny-bricht-sich-die-hand_aid-36977413?fbclid=IwAR1VKOebyRFwa5HQI-5KJse5SGyD-Lx-pJxbHfmg2VBVH-y2751EyoOBAGQ&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share
