The Rise & Fall Of Borussia Dortmund
Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2014 12:27 pm
Just looking at the Bundesliga to see if it's the same old with Bayern running away with it and noticed how far BvB have fallen. After Bayern bailing them out back in 2003, Dortmund made a steady rise back to the top of the league culminating in them winning back-to-back league titles in 2010-2012. Fast forward a couple of years,and after being stripped of their prize players, they now find themsleves struggling at the wrong end of the table, just being beaten by FC Koln, very much another struggler in the league.
So what's happening over there, why have BvB fallen so far, so fast? Klopp is obviously a very good people person, tactically sound and has proved that he can make it in the Bundesliga. Is it due to Bayern pulling strings and taking their best players for peanuts or is it something more? I know there's a few of you who keep an eye on the Bundesliga, so what's the 'Bobby Moore'?
For reference:
Bayern Mun 8 19 20
Borussia Mönchengladbach 8 8 16
FSV Mainz 05 8 5 14
VfL Wolfsburg 8 4 14
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 7 5 13
Bayer Levkn 8 2 13
Eintracht Frankfurt 7 2 12
Schalke 8 1 11
Hannover 96 8 -6 10
SC Paderborn 07 7 0 9
FC Köln 8 -1 9
FC Augsburg 8 -2 9
Hertha BSC 8 -5 8
Bor Dortmd 8 -4 7
VfB Stuttgart 8 -6 6
Sport-Club Freiburg 8 -4 5
Hamburger SV 7 -6 5
SV Werder Bremen 8 -12 4
