BVB 2012-2013 General Discussion Thread [R]

I'm in this boat.

 

My guide on DirecTV is now telling me Gol is moving to 627. Looks like Bein will take its place and Gol just moves further up the dial.

 

Just a quick FYI, I was playing around on the BvB website and noticed the BvB Aktie tab was recently upgraded. Much easier to navigate imo. Good financial info can be found on the auf eninen blick tab. German only so it requires some patience if like me you are still learning the language.

 

Marco Reus has shown some brilliant set piece deliveries so far with Dortmund. The problem with him is that (I noticed it also in his gladbach days) he gives the ball away cheaply at least 3 or 4 times per match. He did the same thing against Bayern. Hopefully, he improves. He is only 23.

 

Long time since a post. Moved countries last year but still managed to watch about a third of the BVB games. Saw the cup game on the wknd, looked good but will have to see if we can get a run going in the first couple of weeks in the league. been following the forum just no real time to post.

Reus looks hungry and Persic seems to be coming along nicely.

One a side point, was there a bundesliga fantasy league setup? I think I saw a post in another thread during the Euros regarding it. Can't seem to find it now that i'm looking for it, cheers

 

Fantastic financial results released yet again. We should get more information in the coming days.

Selected consolidated result highlights

Revenues highest in club history EUR 215mln. (prior 151).
Net profit EUR 34.3mln (9.5)
Liabilities EUR 40.6mln (56.1)
Personnel expenses EUR 74.5mln (57.4)

(FYI, business German is proof the Germans hate me.)

 

Great Financial news... almost as sweet a our performances on the pitch. Good to see the club steady building. Must admit I am shock by the rapid revenue and profit growth. This result would put as in the top 10 clubs worldwide would it not? Also think it was better than Scheisse last year.

Since the club is floated what would happen to the profit, will it be retained or some of it paid out as dividends?

 

I think we will end up just outside of the top 10. I believe Money League uses a calendar year number instead of our fiscal year number. That means 192 instead of the 215 number I gave you. Regardless, its a huge jump and we have a PROFIT with declining debt.

Shalke did 202 last year. They will drop since Champions league money played a larger role in their results than it did in ours.

I have not heard any plans to pay a dividend on the BvB site nor have any of the analysts that follow the stock included it in their models. (Warning, German not my Muttersprache) Obviously that could change, but I dont think a dividend is likely for now.

The exciting thing is the opportunity that still exists. From the Swiss Ramble blog on Bayern:

I am not suggesting we should be equal to Bayern, but BvB can certainly continue to close the gap if they continue to reach the CL and compete for BL titles.

LOL what on earth is Liverpool doing in 3rd place in shirt sponsorships/kit suppliers? Without Champions League football, they must have found quite the goldmine.

 

What competition they are in is irrelevant. In their case it's about brand recognition ...

 

Perisic has improved his fitness alot..At Euros he was a constant threat going foward with consistant pressing and tracking back..It's only a matter of times before Perisic replaces Grosskreuts in the starting 11 in my opinion..

 

I don't really understand it myself, but Warrior sports owned by New Balance decided they needed an entry into big time soccer and there it is.

 

Also, they are a Boston-based company, same as Fenway Sports Group who owns Liverpool.

 

This...^

 

Good stuff even if it does make me look inept.

 

Haha, not at all. I don't think it is something a lot of people would know. I just find myself interested in where businesses and corporations are based and usually look that sort of thing up.

 

I know no one gives a shit but Dortmund-born "wonderkid" Marvin Ducksch will be out for 6 months

Sad news, Ducksch is a top prospect in DFB youth system

 

It's already mentioned it elsewhere, smart-ass.

 

team spirit...welcome to BVB,

 

Hi guys/girls, could any of you fill me in on tickets to your stadium. Always wanted to go to feel this beautiful stadium in full voice. A few of us are planning to go to oktoberfest this year. Date wise the best fit is your home game v borussia m'gladbach on the 29th. It unfortunately starts later this year than usual, another year I could have caught your home game ont he 15th but thats how it goes.

What I want to ask is how difficult is it to get tickets? Will this game be a sell out? Can we just arrive to the stadium and buy or pre pay? Thankyou for any info
