Révolution Rouge et Noire - Stade Rennais Thread

[Nanbawan]

I know Lyon is the 3rd largest French city Im not sure where Rennes ranks. I'm sure Rennes is a fine city but if I was a very wealthy French guy I would try to buy St. Etienne, Bordeaux, Racing Paris or some other team that has huge potential.

Besides what iougs said, Stade Rennais Football Club was founded in 1901, it's a centennial club which has a long tradition in French despite having a cupboard loaded only with two French Cups. Plus, the city and the club are very important for Brittany. A Breton goes all around the world but always come back in his dear land... :D

Yeah but Nantes have traditionally been a bigger club than Rennes. Nantes have more supporters and better attendence and have won more trophies. The difference is that Rennes has a wealthy owner who seems to want to spend money while the Nantes owner is a cheapskate. Also Rennes are in 5th and Nantes are near the bottom of the table. My point is that Nantes deserve to be a bigger club than Rennes based on what I said with the history.

[Fobal klub]

Then ST Etienne should be a bigger club than Lyon ...

[iougs]

and Reims should have been a bigger club than St Etienne, etc etc ...

Rennes could be the next Chelsea for all we know ...

hey all :) long time no see

If Rennes is owned by one of the wealthiest men in France then why not try to buy a bigger team then

so that's how you consider football ? past has already shown that good performances don't follow the money spent on a team. just look at PSG, at today's real madrid, at stade rennais just 5 years back.. no, it's not that easy.. why do you think stade rennais is unworthy to play europe ? because they have only won 2 trophies in their entire history ? what the hell, do you think Lille is unworthy to compete in europe ? they have earned their place, more than monaco and marseille, they deserve their spot better than these teams, because they worked hard and with less money.. some days ago there was a survey on www.sports.fr, asking who people would like to see as the 3rd team (following Lyon and Lille) in CL next season, and guess who won the survey ? Rennes, with a large advance on other teams, such as OM, PSG or ASM. why would we be unworthy of playing in CL or UEFA ? of course, we might not be good enough to perform well in CL, but do you objectively think OM would be good enough ?? or PSG ??? is it because they have a more prestigious past that they are more WORTHY ?

now most people don't share your vision, a lot of people see Rennes play great football, that the team and the staff are hard working people, that we don't spend huge amounts of cash on players..

time will tell anyway, may it be intertoto, uefa or CL, we are pretty sure to play a european cup next season, we will play the one we deserve to play, that's all that needs to be said.. and good luck to Lille, they deserve to play CL, even considering their poor past -sigh-

so that's how you consider football ? past has already shown that good performances don't follow the money spent on a team. just look at PSG, at today's real madrid, at stade rennais just 5 years back.. no, it's not that easy.. why do you think stade rennais is unworthy to play europe ? because they have only won 2 trophies in their entire history ?

I didnt say they were unworthy to play in Europe I said they dont deserve to play in the Champions League against the top European clubs. I think they are much better suited for the UEFA Cup.


what the hell, do you think Lille is unworthy to compete in europe ? they have earned their place, more than monaco and marseille, they deserve their spot better than these teams, because they worked hard and with less money...

Because its a joke that they are gonna have to play their home Champions League games in the stadium of their hated rival. That's embarassing. Plus they wont make it out of the group stage and Monaco and Marseille will have a better chance to do that because they can spend more money than Lille. I dont wanna see Lille in the Champions League unless they have their 33,000 seat stadium built.

some days ago there was a survey on www.sports.fr, asking who people would like to see as the 3rd team (following Lyon and Lille) in CL next season, and guess who won the survey ? Rennes, with a large advance on other teams, such as OM, PSG or ASM.

I wanna see the teams in who have the best chance of advancing the furthest. OM, PSG, and ASM all have a much better chance of doing better in Europe than Rennes do. Its plain and simple.

why would we be unworthy of playing in CL or UEFA ? of course, we might not be good enough to perform well in CL, but do you objectively think OM would be good enough ?? or PSG ???

Yes because OM and PSG are bigger clubs than Rennes. If OM and PSG, traditonally the 2 biggest clubs in France have only won 1 European trophy between them how many do you think Rennes would win



is it because they have a more prestigious past that they are more WORTHY ?

Nope it has nothing to do with past its because they are larger cities with more money and fans than Rennes.

now most people don't share your vision, a lot of people see Rennes play great football, that the team and the staff are hard working people, that we don't spend huge amounts of cash on players..

You have to spend to win unless you play defensive counter attacking football.

time will tell anyway, may it be intertoto, uefa or CL, we are pretty sure to play a european cup next season, we will play the one we deserve to play, that's all that needs to be said.. and good luck to Lille, they deserve to play CL, even considering their poor past -sigh-

Ok fine let all of Europe laugh at Lille as they watch them play in a half empty stadium thats not even theirs.

[iougs]

Who cares if Europe laughs at Lille, Rennes's kit is the best !

Dervez mad, mon gars. I thought your plane crashed in Uzbekistan... :D

[gary_rb]

You have to spend to win unless you play defensive counter attacking football.

I don't agree with that, and it is proven in Ligue1 today. You can build a strong team without huge amounts of money, what you need is clever recruiting, clever coaching and a strong team spirit, and it's something PSG and OM will never understand. you don't build a team with money, otherwise you have a team of inefficient mercenaries.
so you think OM and PSG would do better in european competition than Lille or Rennes, ok this is your opinion, i have mine also.. and i'm rolling on the floor laughing ;) yeah PSG is a very strong side, they have shown it along this season, they really deserve to play in CL.. because they have money and fans. great. how come New York and Taipei aren't the best teams in the world ?

hey Nanbawan :) i've just came back with the A380 ;)

why in uzbekistan?

There was never a Nice thread the guy started a info about Nice topic it wasnt a thread about the team. Its too bad because theres a lot of news going on with the team right now. Wasn't their some kind of revolt from the fans or players ? I know the chairman said he'd step down if they get relegated.

[Nanbawan]

why in uzbekistan?

Because it sounds remote...Sorry, did not want to hurt anybody. I needed a country between France and Australia. :p

[Nanbawan]

OK, yooooohooooo UEFA !!!

C'est la fête !!! If only I was in Rennes at the moment, I'd be shaggin all night long !!!

Now, seriously, how many rounds for Rennes in the competition ? Thanksfully, there are group stages, so we won't be kicked too soon...

I hope we get out of the group stage.

We need to learn how to travel (far) though...

[Pierre-Henri]

Well done, Rennes. It's just so unfortunate we'll have to crush you next season in UEFA.

[Nanbawan]

Bring it on !!!

I 'ate you Butler........erm......Nanbawan!

Nah, congrats. Thanks for the 3 points anyway. Marseille's typical inepitude played a part.

But christ. Doesn't it always?

Hmmmm. Boro v Rennes next season?

[SportBoy333]

Not sure how far they will go in Europe next season but I like their chances better than Lille, Strasbourg, Auxerre or Sedan. If Marseille, RCL, or ASSE get a spot then I like their chaces just as much,
