I imagine a lot of success at Hertha would draw quite a lot of people in. Thanks. It's up to about 47,000 - was around 35,000 when I joined. Still nowhere near full capacity mind. Idrissi looks like a good snatch. Cheers - quite pleased with this one as Koln were after £22m (!) for him originally, however I declared interest and as I'm on his favoured personnel list (from giving him his first cap) I said no to this, he put in a transfer request, and then I sealed the transfer for less than half the original demand.

Crispypaul Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Season 2023/24 Hertha BSC Berlin Bundesliga March 2024 League Not a great month, with too many draws and a bad loss to Aachen. We should though wrap up the title with two more wins. Cup A thumping win in the semis puts us into the final for the 4th time. We will face Werder Bremen. It did however lead to this disaster of a headline. Champions League Some poor defending cancelled out our first leg advantage, however a first half penalty in added time gave us the advantage. We once again face Arsenal in the quarters. We are the only German team left. Bayern lost heavily again.

Best couple of signings: Federico Tisbi - a decent £7.75m signing from AS Roma to strengthen central midfield Gustavo Arbelaez - free transfer from Lille Marouene Benzarti - free transfer from Montpelier as a good prospect up front Finances: in good shape Friendlies: decent enough Supercup Finally won at the fourth time of asking.

Crispypaul Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Founded in 1882, Tottenham Hotspur are a professional English club currently playing in the Barclays Premier League. The club play their home games at White Hart Lane and possess state of the art training and youth facilities. The club's training ground is Hotspur Way. The Tottenham reserve team play at Hotspur Way. The club also has excellent junior coaching and a well-established youth recruitment network. The club is affectionately known as Spurs and retains a fierce rivalry with Arsenal and Chelsea. Having enjoyed their greatest spell of success during the 1960s, Spurs are undoubtedly one of the most successful clubs in England. Boasting a proud total of thirty competition wins, here are just some of their highlights: Tottenham won the Champions League in 2021 and finished runners-up once, won the English top division in 1951 and 1961 and are four-time runners-up, won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1963, and won the Europa League in 1972, 1984 and 2023 and finished runners-up once. Surprisingly still playing at White Hart Lane, Spurs are however due to move at the end of the season to the imaginatively titled 50,013 capacity Tottenham Stadium. Facilities That probably accounts for the poor finances. However the club were willing to back us in the transfer market. Squad Some decent players, although I note a mini injury crisis at the moment which I'll have to get through. Best players: Hervin Ongenda Paul Hunt Daniele Bari Thomas Murray Radim Frydrych League: sitting in eleventh but just 6 points from 4th, our aim will be to overcome this. Interesting league leaders! Europa League: fortunately we're still in the hunt for this. I won't post the League Cup....we lost at home to Championship Charlton in the 4th round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one hell of a job on though - the squad is incredibly thin, with only one leftback and one rightback (both currently injured) and weaknesses elsewhere in the squad. I have a few targets lined up to help here but I'll have to try and see the next few games out.

Table FA Cup Fixtures Two comfortable wins against Championship opposition to secure a fifth round tie at Southampton January Transfer Window I filled some holes in the squad and offloaded a few players. The signings were: Tomas Novak - £4.5m is a lot for a teenager but he's already good enough as a backup right back and will eventually be the first choice.

Crispypaul Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Season 2024/25 End of Season Review Tottenham Hotspur Barclays Premier League Premier League: 2nd A massive improvement from when I joined gives us automatic qualification for the Champions League, only just a couple of points from the title. FA Cup: Winners We had a pretty easy run to the final, which was won comfortably to lift our first FA Cup since 1991. Europa League: Runners Up Managed to make it to the final only to narrowly lose to Dortmund. League Cup: 4th round Out before I joined Key players: Antonis Samios - highly prolific Greek international was our top scorer Daniele Bari - tough tackling Australian international bossed the midfield Erick Torres - I brought the Mexican striker back from the reserves and he promptly proved his worth Hervin Ongenda - the French striker was our second top scorer Paul Hunt - provided creativity in the middle of the park Radim Frydych - strong performances and a few goals from the Czech centre back. Finances - not brilliant thanks to the stadium financing, however should be healthier come the summer once our sponsorship etc comes in.

Absolutely excellent. Daniel Aliadere - free transfer from PSG for the left wing. Dennis Schiller - former centreback at my old club Hertha BSC, now likely to be a first teamer.
