26th June 2012

Harold Strutz - As President of this wonderful club I'd like to welcome you Fans, Journalist and Players to your new Manager....

Vaclav Idobe.

He is a young English/Serbian Manager and this will be his first post in a long and lengthy career. It is my honor to be able to give this talented individual a chance to hit the ground running and to win the hearts of you people who sit before me.

Vaclav Idobe - Thank you Harold for that humbling introduction.

I'm a simple manager, i like basic football, there is no point passing the ball around like Barcelona if you don't have the quality needed. Much Like Stoke City back in my native country of England. They play to their strengths and they do it well. That is what I aim to do with your wonderful club.

We have top training facilities here which most of the clubs in German football have. This is one of the main reasons I love this league so much! My focus is too get players an get them playing in a way which I want them too. If they don't cut it, they will be sold on.

Also regarding our star players, I'm afraid we aren't in a position to decline suitable offers which we may receive. But I promise you this...

If a star player leaves they will be replaced by someone who I think is as good as them or if not better.

Finances

I have been entrusted with a budget of £869k and a wage budget of £420K p/w, based on a mid-table finish.

I'm looking to eclipse our record of 13th last season with a total of 39pts.

I'm looking to cut our wages down as it currently stands at £402k p/w.

Tobias Schilk

4 options for the Right Back position, Zabavnik can play RB or LB and looks strongest however he is out injured for 6 weeks - 2 months. Caligiuri looks to be the starter with Pospech as back up. Schilk is the prospect from the U23's​

Malik Fathi

Junior Enrique Diaz

View attachment 293430

Malik Fathi is currently out on loan at Kayserispor for the season with no recall. Diaz isnt going to be good enough sadly to hold down a first team spot and with Zabavnik injured a new LB is needed.

Manuel Schneider

Probably one of the strongest areas of the team Kirchhoff is only 21 and the best Defender at the club, Svensson and Noveski are getting old but are good enough. Schneider is the pick of the Defenders in the U23 Squad.

3 great options to have in the middle of the park. Soto is arguably the best player at the club however at 31 and £33k a week he may be moved on. Jeffrey is the pick of the U23 Centre Midfielders.​

Plenty of options Wide Right, Wide Left and in the Attacking Midfield role. 2 maybe 3 aren't good enough and may be moved on. No decent prospects in the U23 Squad.

Slzalai is the key player here. Klasnic can do a job but is getting on. Ujah is young and is spending the season on loan at Koln. Maybe a loan move is needed up top?
​
 
Did Adam Slzalai play for Liverpool by any chance or is it just me wondering?
 
Cool, Mainz was one of the teams I considered to make a story of at some point. Interested in seeing how you do it.

In the 74th minute heatbreak for the Juventus fans as Yunus Malli slipped a perfect through ball behind the Juventus back line for Klasnic to gamble and hammer home into the top corner.
