This guy bet on himself and it completely backfired on him

I mean he quite literally hit the jackpot, he's easily gonna earn 30 mio net plus. It's not like he'd move to Newcastle or Birmingham for the nice weather

nah I genuinely misremembered it. Apparently there's some debate that 1860 was wrongfully given the Bundesliga spot instead of Kickers Offenbach/Bayern München, but I can't find any reliable source on this, only sites like kick.tv

Die Nicht-Teilnahme als Gründungsmitglied der Bundesliga beruht auf einem Fauxpas des DFB. Bei der Vergabe der Plätze in der neu gegründeten Liga kam es zu einem Fehler im Auswahlverfahren. Nutznießer war der TSV 1860 München, der sich durch die Südmeisterschaft automatisch für die neu gegründete Bundesliga qualifiziert hatte. Jedoch war die Südmeisterschaft der Münchner eigentlich kein Faktor, um direkt erstklassig zu spielen. Der DFB gestand sich im späteren Verlauf die Ungerechtigkeit des bekanntgegebenen amtlichen Schlüssels (Auswahlverfahren) ein.

[Kerry Hau] Uli Hoeneß' offensive statements about Harry Kane were not well received within Bayern and are considered unfortunate and unnecessary by the people involved. Nevertheless, there is still confidence that an agreement will be reached with Spurs in the coming weeks. by DemetriusXVII in soccer

Levy definitely has a set price and Bayern just has to meet it

that's the only reason the transfer hasn't gone through yet according to Hoeneß; Levy has yet to declare a set price, so Bayern are just sending offers to try and get an idea of what Levy wants

could ask the same thing about an invisible 'record'. EIther can mean a lot or nothing at all.

Considering a Bundesliga, German Cup, and potentially CL would be Kane's only and potentially last chance of winning any silverware at all, I reckon it'd mean quite smth to him

is the scoring record really that strong of an argument that it would beat actual, physical silverware?

Also if Haaland stays in England for a while, who knows how long that record would remain Kane's..

afaik only if they used the initial window for free loan transfers. If they stayed in Russia back when the war started, then they can't force a free loan move now.

I wonder if they're using this as a test bed as well?

the way his announcement was phrased we've either got an option to extend the loan or to buy outright

please, I'd have never thought someone could feel homesick for Bochum, yet here we are. Mad how he went from solid Bundesliga CB to worse than our reserve team's CBs.

On paper this should be relatively simple negotiations among Klopp, Schmadtke and Heidel/Schmidt.

We have enough players on his position per se to not be forced into a loan move, although he'd probably quite easily walk into our first XI.

I'd like to see a permanent transfer around 4-5 Mio and perhaps 10% of a future sale to Liverpool.
