SPORTBÜCHER HERBST 2020 2 E D I T O R I A L Bei einem Fußballspiel verkompliziert sich allerdings alles durch die Anwesenheit der gegnerischen Mannschaft. (Jean-Paul Sartre) In diesem Jahr ist im Fußball nicht die gegnerische Mannschaft das Problem, sondern das Corona-Virus. Der Sport muss sich in Zeiten der Corona-Krise neu positionieren in der © mowuestenhagen Gesellschaft. Vieles verändert sich, manches steht auf dem Prüfstand. Internationale Events wie die Fußball-Europameisterschaft und die Olympischen Spiele werden um ein Jahr verschoben. Die Pro klubs kämpfen wegen ausbleibender TV-Erlöse um ihre Existenz. Millionen von Amateurspielern – vom Steppke bis zum Senior – können nicht mehr miteinander trainieren. Der Fußball als Ganzes sorgt sich um seine Zukunft und versucht die Gegenwart irgendwie zu meistern. So wie Sie vor Ort in Ihrer Buchhandlung. Und so wie wir im Verlag. Was macht also ein Sport- und Fußballverlag im Corona-Jahr? Er spielt seine größte Stärke aus: Flexibilität. Keine EM und kein Buch dazu? Dann machen wir stattdessen was zum Thema „Fußball in Zeiten von Corona“. Schlechtgelaunte Fans, die nicht ins Stadion können? Wir haben die richtigen Bücher für solche Leute. Keine Pressekonferenz zum neuen Buch? Macht nix – wir produzieren Podcasts und Videos. Kein Büchertisch bei Ihnen? Kein Problem – wir bieten Ihnen stattdessen gerne auf Wunsch maßgeschneiderte Inhalte für Ihre Website an. Sprechen Sie uns gerne an, wir sind o en für Ihre Ideen! Ich weiß nicht, wie die Sportwelt in einigen Wochen aussehen wird. Aber ich weiß, wie wir unsere Zukunft gestalten werden: Gemeinsam mit Ihnen wollen wir sporthungrige Leser mit Futter versorgen.

Baggie Shorts
BAGGIE SHORTS West Bromwich Albion London Supporters Club Issue 6 Season 15/16 byEDITORIAL Di Lemma our Baggies Shorts Welsh correspondent Hello Boyos I’m writing this on the 20th March and there are certain burn- ing issues that need to be addressed. Suddenly we had come good----wins against Everton, Palace and Manure and an excellent performance bringing a draw against the leaders Leicester. Followed by a candidate for dross of the season in the match against a very poor Norwich team. Oh, in case you didn’t know, we contrived to lose it 0-1, at the Hawthorns. 1) What are we to do about the future of our Tone? I imagine he was happy to walk in the summer but then along came the tiny (no pun intended) matter of losing 3.5 million squids to that lovely man who runs the Palarse - a real gent. So now he’ll want to stay unless he gets a better offer from a promoted club (or Norwich or Newcastle, if they go). And what do you think of a geezer who trousers 3.5 million and walks and who is definitely not ‘Arry, or his dog? The argu- ments seem to be: he’s kept us up, so shut up all you moaners; you will regret getting rid of him; we will always be safe in the Prem with Tiny; he has never been relegated; teams like us have to survive. Or: like to see some football more than occasionally; what’s happening to the Albion tradition?; if Leicester, Watford, Bournemouth and Stoke (YES STOKE) can not only survive but do well playing attractive footie, why can’t we?; TP and Big Sam are the dinosaurs of modern football, with their giant back 4, normally made up of 4 centre-halves.
