Dietmar Hopp born in Hoffenheim, he even played for hoffe while he was a teenager. He became a rich guy, then supported his childhood team for years. Now he owns the club. Whats wrong with this? I know I know 50+1, corporate, rich guy etc etc... But this feels like much much different then Leipzig. | ||

I agree that Hopp is probably as good as it gets as it comes to big money owners, but if he can do it then everyone can do it and exactly this was proven by Leipzig. | ||

I personally have no problems with rich guy clubs, Hoffenheim however are as corporate as it gets. A 3000 inhabitant town in the middle of nowhere that played in one of the lowest leagues before Hopp took over. | ||

And after all this time, "the La Liga" must be a joke or something. It can't be on purpose. | ||

They are simply following the 2 week old FIFA suggestions and where most associations said that if they are to continue, they would most likely follow those suggestions. OUTRAGEOUS! | ||

Top-flight players are to hold talks with Premier League executives next week, before any attempt to restart the football season can be signed off. Players are to be given the chance to air any concerns over Project Restart in a video-conference call likely to include representatives of all 20 clubs. The discussion will follow the Premier League shareholders meeting on Monday, when finished versions of protocols defining a return to training and competitive matches are to be debated. In a process set to involve the Professional Footballers’ Association and the League Managers Association, players will then be consulted on the proposals before a select group hold talks with league officials. Sheffield United’s manager, Chris Wilder, said on Thursday that he would allow players to opt out if the season restarts. “If any individual player took that decision and came to me and said, ‘It’s not for me,’ I’d respect that,” he told BeIN Sports. Football faces a decisive seven days as government advice on the potential easing of lockdown restrictions, due on Sunday night, sets in motion a train of events that will determine the game’s immediate future. Last week the league and its shareholder clubs agreed that players and managers “are key to the process” of restarting play, but largely their voices have been absent from any debate. While some prominent figures such as Manchester City’s Sergio Agüero and the West Ham manager, David Moyes have aired concerns, there is uncertainty as to what a majority view may be over any return. Burnley’s manager, Sean Dyche, articulated a more positive position this week when he said: “We are very pro the idea of moving forward, when we can of course and when it’s safe, and the players are clear-minded about that as well.” The league has taken further steps to enable the testing of players and staff for Covid-19. It is expected to agree a deal with a Hong Kong-based company, Prenetics, for the provision of 40,000 home testing kits. Source | ||

He sold the best players (Gustl and Carlos Eduardo or whatever his name was), focussed on producing youth talents etc. The way he went about it in the beginning was sure to offend football germany, tho. Now it's a club less corporate than St.Pauli or Dortmund - they just market better. | ||

I don't know if anyone reads these, but I don't. I think it would be better if you give a short summary of these walls of texts and your thoughts on what you're sharing. | ||

Our information is different to every other country though, as we produce figures with all deaths regardless of if they are in hospitals or not. The R rate is still below 0 though, even with the crazy issues we have in care homes which is the problem right now and why the R rate is higher than it was (between 0.5-0.9 right now) PL won't be restarting until mid June at the earliest anyway. | ||

Same with confirmed tests. People who are tested are those with heavy symptoms and in need of hospital care and hospital staff. Not people with some fever and respiratory complaints who get cured by staying at home. wow double the amount? How come Netherlands has so many deaths? In Austria its the other way round that probably way too many deaths were accounted to covid but they just count any death with any correlation to it. So Austrian's official death toll will go down quite a lot once this is all over and time has been given to analyse everything -------- OOC (Corona might not be so deadly at all): Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter at the University of Cambridge: "Many people who die of Covid [the disease caused by coronavirus] would have died anyway within a short period," he says https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51979654 | ||

Germany has already done their first waves of tests and out of 1700 (first and second league of German football league) 10 were tested positive. I dont really see how the numbers should increase if the people stick to the given rules? | ||
