At midway through their respective seasons:

 

Dortmund 1st in the Bundesliga

Former Dortmund U19s coach Hannes Wolf 1st in the 2nd Bundesliga with Hamburg

Former Dortmund second team coach Daniel Farke 1st in the English Championship with Norwich

Former Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp 1st in the Premier League with Liverpool

Former Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel 1st in Ligue 1 with PSG

 

I sense a pattern here.

@Scottish⑦Canuck Haven't watched a lot of Celtic this season but I thought that was an odd first 11 today. Would have expected Tierney and Edouard in there. Scott Brown didn't have his best game today. Were there any reasons in your opinion why the aforementioned shouldn't start?

Both coming back from injury and not 100% fit. Brown has done a lot for Celtic but he's done. McGregor is far better in that position. Ntcham is the most inconsistent performer in the squad and we should sell for whatever we can get in January. Craig Gordon, despite his saves, always plays us into trouble or boots the ball out of play. 

 

Really just a shambolic performance all round and highlights the overhaul that is needed. The fact that our Chief Executive took a 2.3 million pound bonus this month after failing to qualify for the CL and refusing to invest in any of the positions necessary is depressing. Our head of scouting does absolutely nothing and the players they do invest in are severely overpaid and not good enough to justify the wages they're being paid. 

 

That mob are awful and they played us off the park. Was embarrassing.

Ah, thanks. Would have been weird to have your only real striker and arguably your best player on the bench for no reason.

 

I do like McGregor and Christie (?) as Central Midfielders.

Pulisic to Chelsea for 64m € + loan back to Dortmund until the end of this season.

 

That's a lot for a player who has spent most of his time on the bench this season and has only 18 months left on his contract. Must be one expensive passport.

 

Susi Zorc committing highway robbery here. Love it.

 

To Pulisic, I hope he can focus on what he can do best. This season his head already seems to be somewhere else. Trying too much 1-on-1s which is not his strong suit. Should focus more on his passing game. He could still be a very good player for Chelsea, but he should stop trying to be Ousmane Dembélé or Jadon Sancho. If he continues doing that he will fail at Chelsea. But Sarri might be a good coach for him to get rid of that habit.

Fantastic piece of business in any way you look at it.
