I have every confidence in Stuttgarter's ability to continue to flounder. Erhm, I mean …

Not a whole lot of change here between the players we lost, playing the youth more, etc. Except of course for the financial boost.

With Havelse promoting, there are only four clubs left who have never been above this level. The other three are Alemannia Aachen, Offenbach, and Wattenscheid. I think the three teams that promoted are better than those that came down ... the same ones that went up the previous year.

Not quite the same three actually, after I checked their history. Cottbus and Frankfurt both relegated in the first year, promoted second year, and then relegated again. So they are yo-yoing. Viktoria Koln has never been above 8th in the Third League but this is the first time they've fallen to our level.
Wow, look at all the movement here! If we even play even with England this year, we'll pull ahead of them. And Germany has more clubs in international play than anyone else.
