In the light of ever more Hoffenheim table topping, coverage and hype, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at how much of their success is Dietmar Hopp’s money and how much of it is Ralf Rangnick’s genius. While at it, I decided to do the same for the remaining 17 Bundesliga [...]

Werder Bremen’s coach Thomas Schaaf gives a press conference ahead of Bremen’s away match against Hanover (1-1). Note how Schaaf almost becomes one with the wall behind him.

A must read interview with Hoffenheim’s sugar daddy Dietmar Hopp. (Spiegel Online)
The swimsuit edition of the Hoffenheim story. And a small correction: the article quotes Ralf Rangnick as saying Hoffenheim has the same budget as Energie Cottbus. He was comparing Hoffenheim’s wage budget (€23m) with Cottbus’ overall budget (€23m). Cottbus’ wage budget is €13m. (Sports [...]

No, it’s not SAP billionaire and sugar daddy Dietmar Hopp. He hates those comparisons anyway, and will probably sue anyone who still makes them. This is Hoffenheim’s president Jochen A. Rotthaus. He didn’t do any questionable things in post cold war Russia and isn’t rich by billionaire standards, but the similarities are still striking and [...]
