Hopp was better off giving his money to clubs like Waldhof, OFC oder DA98, decent clubs with history, tradition and relativly large faithful following...

Waldhof wouldn´t exist anymore without Hopp´s money, so this is quite a bad example



why always Didsbury?

I balo telli you: no deeper meaning implied, but randomly chosen. It's just down the (Maine) road. Simple as that.

Got to agree with Rhineland here...imho its always a bit problematic if a club depends on one "Sugardaddy".

No matter if its City, Hoffenheim or "my club" its always a bad thing, but at least pick a club that has some history a decent fanbase and don´t form something artificial out of nowhere similar to Hoffenheim or RB Leipzig.

Without Hopp Hoffenheim wouldnt exist at all and their "fanbase" would still go to Kaiserslautern, Mainz, Waldhof etc.

This club is the most pathetic sample of everything that is wrong with modern football and its going to be interesting to see what happens once Hopp Senior loses interest in his toy. Pretty much doubt that his son will take over as his toy is the local Hockey Team Adler Mannheim and he doesnt seem to have any interest in football at all.

Well as said earlier I despise the whole sugardaddy idea as such, unfortunately City is still my second team. Feel free to blame Mr. Rösler for that as he was the one drawing my attention to city back when he still played for you.

So, leaving the boaring Hoffenheim topic:

Hertha saving their a** into the play-off in the last minute

Great to see our German partner club Frankfurt promoted, might be a place to send some of our higher quality youth players as long as they can get a game there (Abu couldn't).

Thats one of my hopes as well... We will have a hard time staying up next year and we are not exactly rich so getting some decent quality players on loan might be an option.

I have no idea about the quality of citys youth department though.

Didsbury is very famous and popular amongst the Germans.
