stumigoo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 In all seriousness, these are exactly the type of scenes i like to see. I was a little disappointed that BT cut the broadcast straight after the game. Would like to know what is happening right now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 One of the first European shirts I got as a kid was an 1860 one, so always kept a wee eye out for them. Seems they've been kicking about near the bottom for a few years now and this has been on the cards. Good opportunity to start from scratch though after a shite few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 They need that relegation. Move back to their old stadium, huge clear out at board level and a complete overhaul of their squad. Will be going to see them next April as always so hopefully by then the club will be back on the up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I was in Munich a little over 2 (or was it 3?) years ago and saw them play Aue in a crunch end of season relegation 6 pointer. I was with my girlfriend so went for the posh seats on the half way line but the atmosphere seemed fairly sanitised. There was of course flag waving and singing but it felt a bit flat and like there was a general malaise. It's obviously a magnificent stadium but the surroundings were barren and it was a 20 min treck through nothingness to reach the ground. Fine if there's 70,000 there for a Bayern game but there seemed an obvious disconnect between the core fanbase and the city 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if they are still around next season, it's a proper chance at rebuilding. Edited June 2, 2017 by Allan Jacobsen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 As well as having won a Bundesliga and German Cup they were Cup-Winners' Cup runner-up to West Ham in 1965. Dropping to tier 4/5 would be one of the biggest falls from grace? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 They were the biggest Munich club until the 1960s. Mental what has happened.It all might have been different... apparently Franz Beckenbauer was a massive 1860 fan as a youngster. He had basically agreed to join them after playing his final game for his local youth team... against 1860.During the game someone slapped Beckenbauer, so in a strop he decided to sign for Bayern instead, taking a number of talented players from the same squad with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as big as the 'most successful club in the world' getting 'relegated' to League 2 IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 They were discussing this on Football Weekly and apparently the biggest shareholder, some Jordanian billionaire, refused to pay the license as he's unhappy about the way the club is being run. His biggest gripe seems to be that the board won't give him more than 49% control, even though it's against league rules 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he is taking everyone to court and has a decent chance of winning. This relegation might have huge ramifications for German football if they disband the 50+1 rule.All in all it is an absolute clusterfuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 This also means that Paderborn will avoid a third consecutive relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogisbairns Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 1860 played in the regional league back in the 80's, so it's no major deal that they should be back there to those who have watched German football over the years, just the way they went about it. They used to play their home games back in the Grunwalder Strasse stadium then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought Dortmund typically promoted from within or recruited up and coming managers from smaller Bundesliga clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
