Next seasons upstarts..

[Schwalker]

One of the many advantages of the bundesliga is that it´s so hard to predict...I mean, where else will you see newcomers aiming for the upper half?

My bet for rookie club of the next season goes to...FC Köln

This club is truly a sleeping giant..


Anyone else willing to make a prediction...?

[The Southern Dandy]

Yea. Look out for Koln.

Oh, and Stuttgart to be fighting relegation, but managing to avoid it and rebuild itself on the shoulders of Hildebrand.

[Timonator]

Yeah, just talk Dandy!
We will be stronger than ever next season. Maybe Hertha will be fighting for relegation. You don't know...you all see us down, now that Kuranyi left. I think the opposite, next season will be a good one for Stuttgart.

:D


I also see Köln on the top somewhere.

No one is willing to make a bet on Eintr Frankfurt?

Frankfurt and Köln...Two big cities, loads of potential fans and rich sponsors.

i hardly see cologne up - max is midtable.

actually its hard to predict - i'll wait until all transfers we're made.

Eintracht has always been and up and down club over the past few years. They've had loads of potential fans and rich sponsorship potential in the past in the Bundesliga and it still didn't help them stave off relegation.

Ok, So Duisburg might be an outside bet?

Area with a weak economy and surrounded by much bigger clubs...:woot

[locoLopez]

forget about the surroundings - they don't win points - its still the team.

[The Southern Dandy]

Surroundings have nothing to do with it. Rostock managed for years to remain in the Bundesliga and they reside in one of the poorest regions of the country.

I know...Gelsenkirchen is no posh area ;)

Gelsenkirchen are in the "Ruhrpott". Despite the unemployment level there, there's still an assload of money and the biggest concentration of population in Germany.

And it´s a hotbed of football as well...I sometimes wonder what people in the ruhr would do if there was no football to watch.

Drink themselves to oblivion I guess...
