Werder Bremen: The fiasco of the family Association

A couple of times, had already dispersed the Werder family in all directions, conceptually at least. Klaus Allofs wanted to know from the always harmonious green-and-white Clan in front of the 2007/2008 season, nothing more. To him the sound at the time, too small to piefig and also to be poorly marketable for a club that wanted to compete permanently with FC Bayern.

But in the ensuing crisis, the impact from today's perspective, as a better joke – Werder had disgraced himself in the Champions League with Panathinaikos Athens, took the club boss Jürgen L. Born in November 2008, took refuge in the familiar comfort and power of the Werder-family: summoned "Bremen is an extraordinary patch. We offer since years with reduced resources, quality football.“ The well-known business model appeared from all competitive: A club guide to ancient well-Known with the stable smell, a transfer policy of low Peel and high revenues, a much more offensive style of play. The Whole is embedded is in a sympathetic overall.

Werder Bremen tried to for the past ten years, the standing Champions League representatives and group clubs something to oppose. Especially personal continuity and the Heart of the employer to prevent to be lost – Marco Bode as the chief inspector, Frank Baumann as head of sports, Florian Kohfeldt as a coach: The combined green-and-white identification of the present day. In the case of financial resources, with a turnover of 117 million Euro in the financial year 2018/19, significantly in the first half of the League. Financially Werder has managed to make the u-turn after high-loss years of 2011 to 2015. That was a controversial shirt sponsor, and the sale of the stadium name.

The next attempt, from the generation house on the river Weser to take off, under the SV Werder then took in 2012, and significantly more active than five years before. The Board of management Klaus Allofs had ordered the moving van after 13 years, coach Thomas Schaaf was followed a year later, in 2013. A today inconceivable for a long time, the two had led parents to the family – it needs to push Werder-Fans the tears in the eyes, what are the placings achieved by the Schaaf/Allofs teams between 2000 and 2010, and which players appeared on the river Weser. Ailton, Klose, Micoud, Mertesacker, Özil, Diego, De Bruyne. And again and again Pizarro.
