Christian Fuchs joins Leicéster City
What bullocks.
The problem is that whereas 1860 in 2005 still had an average of 40.000 visitors it is 10 to 20.000 now. Yes, the Allianz Arena is too big for them when they only can fill it like this. The rent for the stadium is 1.5 million EUR each season. The problems are the VIP areas, the catering etc. what makes another 3 million extra costs which 1860 has difficulties to finance as they cannot really sell it.
The revenue (Umsatz) and losses of 1860 in the recent seasons (they are in the second league since 2004)
That Bayern and 1860 were on eye level was already 50 years ago. In the mid of the 1960s they had a really great team and were Bundesliga Champion in 1966. But it went fast down with them as they were relegated to the Regionalliga in 1970. The 70s they mainly spent in the Regionalliga and then in the new 2nd Bundesliga. End of the 70s they went up twice for a year or two into the Bundesliga but could not stay there for long. In 1982 they lost the license for the 2nd Bundesliga because of the finances. They spent the rest of the 80s in the Bayernliga and went up to the 2nd Bundesliga at the start of the 90s and to the Bundesliga in 1994.
From 1994 to 2004 they had the next longer stint in the Bundesliga and could keep themselves in the midtable. But since 2004 they are a permanent member of the 2nd.
----------------------
If this club would have a good lead etc. they would have all the chances to be a good midtable club in the Bundesliga. Some years ago they really had a great youth development. They have a fanbase even if you cannot tell anymore that the city is blue and the area around red - that was like this in the past. With them in the 2nd league or even deeper the kids of the last generations often went for the more attractive club in the town. But that is nothing they could not get back. They still seem to have a big enough fanbase if they can fill the stadium for the relegation fights...
But their lead is a full comedy show. Everybody working against the next. Everybody trying to put the blame onto the other one etc.
That says it all - and that are just some of the "little problems" they have...
