Is it true that New Zealand was bought from the Dutch for 60 guilders who bought it from the Lenape for $24?

in The New Gaffer: Introducing Jol at Hamburg on Bundesliga Talk
Interesting questions you pose, Chris.

While I think he ought to be commended for setting Liverpool on the right track, Houllier has made some questionable moves in the transfer market. Hamburg simply couldn't afford to suffer the same transfer mistakes that Liverpool did.

As for Rutten, well, I must admit he's still very much an unknown commodity to me. He hasn't done enough to impress himself on me (whether it's his style of play, successes or mistakes). A former FC Twente guy I'd consider would be Hans Meyer.

...But that's because I have a soft spot for him after he brought the DFB-Cup back to Nürnberg in 2007.

As for Jol himself, from what I've seen from the Emirates Cup at least he's bringing a nice attacking touch to the team. In 99/00 they ended up third and that's the last time they bagged more than 60 goals in a season. I'm not suggesting that offense alone secured them third (their goal difference was a very respectable +24). I'm also not suggesting Hamburg's been led by a Santini for the last several years, but Jol should be a fresh breath of (attacking) air.

That does sounds much better, ARjan.

Off the top of my head I feel like you're describing Reiner Calmund, Leverkusen's former managing director. I must admit, I'm not too familiar with Schalke's boardroom.
