TSG 1899 HOFFENHEIM
So I have taken over at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim after watching a Bundesliga match on TV.
After doing some research I was well impressed and inspired by them. They only played their first professional league game in 2007-08 season. in that season they finished 2nd and gained automatic promotion to the Bundesliga for the very first time.
This rise in German football was down to the club legend Dietmar Hopp who pumped his money into the club.
They play in the 30,150 Rhein-Neckar-Arena. Only playing their first game there on 31 January 2009.
As to date in FM12 they have only been the Bundesliga for 3 seasons, finishing 7th, 11th and 11th.
This club with the right direction could be big, VERY BIG. They have no debt and are worth £67million. They also have Excellent training and State of the Art Youth!! The only other club in the Bundesliga to have State of the Art Youth is FC Bayern Munchen.
Despite all this good they do only have a media prediction of 7th again for the 2011-12 season.
The team also has its critics, saying that due to Mr Hopp's money, they have no real 'tradition' and a proper fan base as the club is a historically insignificant side from a village of just 3,300 inhabitants.
So my aims :-
Get this team competing for the title
Win the Bundesliga
Become the most reputable club in Germany
Win the Champions League
Win anything else(we only have 1 trophy, a third/fourth tier league win)
Use the great Youth set up to get a team full of local heros.
I may add other aims as I go along.... C'mon the Hoffe :wub:
I am using a transfer update with all the transfers from the 2014 summer transfer window.
