Good win today for schalke beating Bayern

however it was a bit of a dirty game with dirty tackles

schalke have won four games in a row with no head coach-

maybe they should stay this way

[c3011]

What was with the shoving match between Neuer and Kuranyi anfter the free kick that hit the bar????

Completely undeserved win today from Schalke in every aspect imo.. They had the goal and another chance 90th minute they didn't pull a better passing game to win. Very good defensively, but that is nothing new. ;)

Magath to sign four-year contract as general manager and head coach

The supervisory board of FC Schalke 04 has unanimously agreed to appoint Felix Magath as the club's new general manager and head coach. Magath will also take a seat on the managing board. The 55-year-old will put pen to paper on a contract with no restrictions that will run until 30 June 2013.
"We're delighted he's decided to join us", said supervisory board chairman Clemens Tönnies on Wednesday. "He is the top-class solution I said we would present. His appointment is a major success for us in the footballing area."
Following the dismissal of general manager Andreas Müller at the beginning of March Tönnies was tasked by the supervisory board with scouring the market for a suitable replacement. Initial contact was made soon afterwards. Tönnies said: "We had lots of conversations on the subject of FC Schalke 04 away from the glare of the media spotlight. I was able to inspire him emotionally and we reached a gentlemen's agreement to the effect that if he left Wolfsburg he wouldn't go to any other club." After more extended talks Magath finally agreed to join the Royal Blues.
Tönnies is convinced Magath will succeed in his joint role of general manager and head coach. "He has the necessary authority and expertise to do the job. It may even be the model for the future", he said. The managing board, which is currently made up of Josef Schnusenberg and Peter Peters, is fully behind the decision.
The objective is clear: Felix Magath is to help put the Royal Blues back on the road to success over the next four years. Though budget on the playing side is set to be reduced by eight to ten million euros, Tönnies doesn't see any contradiction in this. "We know there may be some difficult times ahead. So we don't expect to be able to scale up our targets on the pitch right away", he explained.
Tönnies, Schnusenberg and Peters initially informed more than 50 supporter representatives of the decision before talking to the players and coaching staff and finally the media. "We have a brand new concept for the club that focuses on continuing to improve our youth work. We intend to give everybody sufficient time. I think we have a bright future", concluded Tönnies.

This is very interesting. Does this indicate a paradigm shift in German football? I think I support the idea of the Coach being the GM.

I'm curious whether Magath will really stay 4 years in Gelsenkirchen (although being the "big boss" there).

I say he is gone in a year and a half, maybe two.

Just in time to replace Babel at Stuttgart. :D

[Aztattooedsean777]

yeah, he has history of leaving short of the end of his contract so I would be weary at first thought.

Finally some change and hopefully for the best

All they need now is LM and CB

[F96]

Any news on Pander? Was it the same knee?

I really fear that this could be it. I mean, if he destroys his knee on a simple pass it's highly unlikely he'll ever be the player he once was.

I don't think he has for a while now. He'll be like Ricken, known for his one kick ass goal at the international level. Pander's at least got all those injuries to blame.

Found this very interesting docu about the Königsblau:

Enjoy!!!!

The biggest Problem on Schalke is a man called Schnusenberg.

He want to sell our Keeper to Munich.

How or however, M.Neuer is born in GE, love Schalke and is Germans next National
Goalkeeper.

What to hell is in Schnuse... brain to sell him.????

Uli is a friend of him, Uli is his master.

When you will win the national championship you need the best players, and you will
get them to buy or when you have to keep.

What is the logic of this man, win the championship with a B-Team?

Or will he only joking us.

This man fire Coaches like R.Rangnick (we had the 2nd place) M.Slomka (2nd place and quarter final in CL) F.Rutten, all are not good enough.
And what think this man, we win the national championship the cheapest team?
Under his name Boenisch, Özil and other great players selled.

What to hell talk this man for shit.

[Schalkoholic]

Round 1 DFB Cup
so its Germania Windeck near Cologne in the first round.

Match will probably played in a stadium in Cologne cause their local ground
has a capacity of 1000 :rolleyes:

Short distance for the Schalke Supporters so there will be more space needed.

See you in Cologne

You will need to realise sooner or later that Schalke is in unpleasant financial conditions, and that is BEFORE the economic crisis has really started to hit German football. LINK (http://www.handelsblatt.com/journal/fussball/umsatzeinbussen-bei-schalke-04;2402211)

According to todays annual general meeting
Schalke made a profit of 400000 Euro last year.

See what will happen next year without CL or Euroleague.
Wait and see.
