    Krueger does seem to have been 'phased out' and to be honest, I much prefer Les Reed's football talk.

    I wish the man well, I just won't miss his interviews. Good luck to Ralph (if this is true, which it may not be).

    This really is meltdown time. Just when things were looking up, the hockey guy goes.

    It's obvious that he was brought in as the PR guy, but it backfired a bit as his North American management speak didn't wash with the media and the fans and caused mistrust and speculation by not clearly communicating the Club's position.
    I don't wish him any ill will and I'm sure he will feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings.

    That's sad, if true [couldn't get the translation link to work]. I think Ralph has a heck of a lot of good qualities, but it may be that he doesn't have quite enough to add to football. I do think he could get the word around the media and corporations, but people are suspicious of management speak in any walk of life, and football people are among the most conservative of sports people. It may be that the bridge from hockey to football is/was too big to cross. We'll see.

    The link problem could be with your browser. It didn't work for me in Chrome but does in Internet Explorer.

    I certainly won't miss Krueger but if Katharina isn't convinced and moves him on then I think that's kind of a good sign. Everyone's allowed to make a mistake and if appointing him was one she's acting fairly quickly to correct it.

    If true, it's great that KL is listening to the fans who didn't take to him in the slightest
    Bye!

    It could be the add-ons I have operating in Firefox. I'll see.

    Already names like ex-Roosters and Boston Bruins coach Geoff Ward and champion coach Niklas Sundblad were traded for the successor of Hans Zach. Now, however, more and more compacted rumor Ralph Krueger. The 54-year-old German, former coach of the Edmonton Oilers and the Swiss national team, most recently served as CEO of Premiere-League club Southampton FC.

    But now he's disappeared from the portfolio of football clubs, and on Twitter was already speculating about a Vertragsauflüsung with Krueger. So Southampton had the obligation of the new team manager Roland Koeman closed an important gap, however, is probably the name Krueger not to be found in the course of publication of this Personnel.
    Morning at 11 clock in the room is "Weinheim" in the SAP Arena, the secret to the new coach of the Adler Mannheim aired.

    Good news. Getting someone in as chairman with some experience could go a really long way to stabilizing things.

    I quite liked him. Maybe I'm missing something.



    On second thoughts, can we have John Williams after all? I liked him more, he must have kicked that ref chairman job by now.
