Herthas kleiner Bruder, der erste Fußball-Club Union, hat durch Sponsorenverträge für 2012/2013 insgesamt 1,1Million Euro mehr als im Vorjahr in der Haushaltskasse – 5,4 gegenüber 4,3 Million, – ziemlich klasse!. Im Gegensatz zur The-winner-takes-it-all-Formel geht für den Hauptstadt-Zweitligisten die Rechnung mit jedem erklommenen Tabellenplatz auf – so baut Präsident Ziegler Stein um Stein ein solides Eigenheim für den Verein – im übertragnen [...] Continue Reading…

Hertha Berlin was able to celebrate just a little yesterday after their home win, and actually obtain some highly needed points – the first with newly appointed coach Otto Rehhagel.
The 3 points are the first from this year and hopefully will be the first of many such wins – or even ties will do – in order to avoid relegation again next [...] Continue Reading…

Newly appointed Hertha coach Otto Rehhagel did not have an auspicious beginning in his new trainer’s job losing to lowly Augsburg, themselves candidates for relegation 3-0 on Saturday.
While giving due credit to FC Augsburg whom he said fought like lions, he made it clear that very basic tactical changes need to be made – it is clear that Hertha is not Barcelona [...] Continue Reading…

Well we wrote on the last blog about HERTHA the following -
“If we can believe German media reports then Bulgarian coach Krasimir Balakov may become the next manager at Hertha Berlin -the Bulgarian is prominent amongst other names like Thomas Doll and Ralf Rangnick, and even former German star Lothar Matthäus.”
Hertha Berlin FC have announced that the experienced and respected [...] Continue Reading…

The former home country of megalomania and kitsch has undergone a transition over the recent years that is a bit of a jaw-dropping affair, to say the least. The Krauts have gone from a nation of grumpy white-socked misanthropes with a world-domineering streak and ‘Lebensraum’-claiming towels to a people of cool and charisma.
Germany has turned into the promised land. How did that [...] Continue Reading…

If we can believe German media reports then Bulgarian coach Krasimir Balakov may become the next manager at Hertha Berlin -the Bulgarian is prominent amongst other names like Thomas Doll and Ralf Rangnick, and even former German star Lothar Matthäus.
Michael Skibbe’s very brief 7 week tenure as manager again added to the embarrassment of losing yet another manager within a [...] Continue Reading…

The Bundesliga Season opened after its winter pause with a loss for league leaders Bayern and 11th place Hertha Berlin, and a win for Schalke today over Stutgart 3-1.
Hertha Berlin ran into an inspired Nuremberg – who in their 1000th Bundesliga match – won at home 2-0 against a seemingly lackluster Hertha Berlin. This was not the start that new Hertha coach Michael Skibbe had [...] Continue Reading…

There were no direct reasons given for the falling out other than that it has been common knowledge that there was serious disagreement [...] Continue Reading…

“O was ist das schon’, the German audience sang in Hamburg last night and rightfully so. They saw an energetic, creative, alert and motivated team beat a lethargic, sleepy and leaderless Dutch team that seemed to just make the motions – as if they were there simply for some commercial contractual obligation and nothing more.
Now at the close of 2011, the year [...] Continue Reading…

“Hertha Berlin, known as the Old Lady of German soccer, is finding her feet after a nasty fall into debt and decline.” – So reads the first sentence in a very good article which appeared in yesterdays New York Times by one of its sports writer Rob Hughes. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/05/sports/soccer/05iht-soccer05.html
What follows is one of those typically popular, heart-warming American type of come-back stories [...] Continue Reading…
