  • Hamburg’s Season 24: Challenges and Future Prospects

    Season 24 was another disappointing one. Like last season we started badly, just one win in our first eleven league games. Bizot was our Szczesny replacement. He wasn’t cutting the mustard, so we replaced him with the “very experienced” Franco Armani. The transfer was for cash from Besiktas. Shortly after we had our best run…

    48 teams entered this season. There were a few more who wanted to join, but either applied late or I excluded them because of their previous record of forfeiting games.

  • Hamburg Review S23

    Not much to write home about this season. We survived. We had the worst possible start (bottom with 4 points in 9 games), recovered with a great run to 9th scoring goals galore away from home, lost our keeper Szczesny to unexpected retirement (or so we thought), then went another nine games without a win…
