something for the very small club category
for the 100th anniversary of my club the dfb president reinhard grindel himself showed up at our place today
i was suprised that he didnt bring any bimbos along and came alone
after the ceremonial stuff we actually got to talk with him and ask some questions
some of what he said was interesting plus the typical politician talk of course
for a second i wanted to ask about özil, but after i got the "dont even think about it" look from our president i had to behave
so instead i inquired about how on earth löw could keep his job after the worst year in our national team history
long story short, who the fuck is pep when you can have the "tactical mastermind" (his words) jogi löw (as if we won 2 worlds cups and 2 european cups with the guy)
since we had a topic about the new, third european competition......
we talked about how grindel supported the new tournament despite a widespread backlash in the media
the smaller leagues in europe were pushing for this as they want their share of the big tv money to keep their leagues competitive
since the same countries voted for the european cup in germany in 2024 he returned the favor and didnt try to block these plans
i guess thats how things work
by the way, there are going to be changes in the future for the EL and CL as well
for example the third placed cl group stage teams will go a different route (extra round) and the knockout stages are to be rearranged
he is still an idiot of course, but it was a great event for our club
