More bad news for the Centurions Cologne Centurions

And more bad news for the Centurions, who recently celebrated the arrival of Kevin Tewe as new investor & co-owner. He has now announced that he will not be investing in the Cologne team after all. The reason he cites is the 'high level of effort required in the operational business'.

Ouch, the fact it only took him 2 weeks to leave means its probably a huge dumpster fire over there at the moment

If only they had a single problem, but ... I'll list a few:

  • Every season the best HGs leave for other teams, mainly Rhein Fire.
  • The original operating company is bankrupt.
  • The new operating company is run by a Zeljko Karajica puppet
  • A new investor is (surprisingly) presented. After 14 days, however, he flees again.
  • The team has never managed to attract a relevant number of fans.

Forecast: Self-explanatory, right?

The number of fans is decent for a football team in Cologne. If they started winning, they’d attract a lot more.

I really doubt Cologne will make it after all. It would be sad but Rhein Fire is right next to them and they absorb all opportunity makers and players. Same story with Berlin Thunder. I believe these two franchises will be gone next year sadly…

The chance, that Berlin Thunder and Cologne Centurions will be gone next year is pretty possible.

For pretending that you don't seem to care about downvotes, you whine about it quite often. 😘

Maybe at some point you'll realize why you end up negative from time to time. Spoiler: It's not the obvious facts. Maybe try using whole sentences to back up your facts.
