Announcement
Most important: Sauer-Krauts 06 celebrated its second season within SIFL! More successful and of course more dreaded by our opponents.
For our newcomers in the league: Sauer-Krauts 06 originated as a “spin-off” from the German Krauts FC due to the large amount of players. The initial idea was to form a 2nd team, which could integrate all those, who due to “speed factor” “age factor” “weight factor” “alcohol factor” and “Friday hangover factor” were mainly guarding the sidelines of Tianma, rather then scoring for Krauts FC (our 1st team). Nevertheless rumors are still existing within SIFL that the main reason was not only the large amount of players forcing Krauts FC to have this “spin off”, no it is said that the beer consumption at the sidelines reached its peak times collapsing the yearly budget of Krauts FC and causing a record budget deficit.
Changing from the sidelines to the pitch and finally trying to kick some ball definitively was a challenge for us in our first season 2006/2007, which was easily reflected in the league table. In several emergency meetings the Sauer-Krauts Management declared first season performance as an “SIFL Internship” to practice and learn, before starting the “real job” [Aufholjagd] in our second season 2007/2008. In another emergency joint press conference [Kampfansage] at the beginning of this season, Sauer-Krauts 06’s announced its “Strategic 5-year Plan” emphasizing that this season will mainly focus on player recruitment. Today we can proudly announced that our hard work showed first fruits: The average player age decreased from 42 years to 41.5 years and increasing our “average player speed” closed to the Japanese and our squad guarantees us always having 11.7 players in average at Tianma. The press also released that with regrets and pressure from our investors Mr. Juergen Sievers left [had to leave] Sauer-Krauts 06, who was acting as the Sauer-Krauts 06 team manager in our first season, but who will remain as a “new player scout” in a place called Dalian [Dorf]. We would like to thank him for all his work and efforts [many many many emails]. Juergen Sievers was replaced by Bilgin Guengoermues [more experienced & more handsome], who took over team organization with his subordinates [slaves] Helmut Dicknoether & Stefan Nissl.
The year started well [with new shirts and the best logistic company in town “Kuehne & Nagel” as our new sponsor] and we accumulated our first points showing clearly that we are moving to the right direction, especially pointing out the highest number of accompanying crowd in a game (13 spectators in one game) against the Dutch represented a club record. With a strong squad only “Force Majeure” stopped our walkover to the Premier League this year: “Snow and cold in Shanghai”, which shall be a warning to our opponents, who luckily won against us, as without “Force Majeure” the Sauer-Krauts 06 are the strongest power within the 1st Division. Nevertheless we declare this season as very successful season [beer consumption increased by 19].
It shall be also pointed out that Sauer-Krauts 06 also made successfull debuts in the Summer Tournament in Shanghai [5th out of 14 team] and will continues to strike in the Fantasy7 Monday Tournament League at Luwan District. With the new season approaching our 3rd season will mainly focus on moving to the Premier League Details will be soon announced at the most sexiest and best location in town: “Judy’s Too” or “Spot Bar”
