Wow, im from basel and I would never have expected a video of you about my club! Love how you explained this all without leaving out crucial informations like other channels would do. You explained the pain of us supporters well. We were once a team that dreamt of beeing regulars in the top 8 in the champions league, fighting established giants of european football and now we struggle to even qualify for the coference league. Thanks for making the video! would have wished to meet you :)

[@hb1338]

If you look at the regulars in the quarter finals of the Champions League, you must realise that the ambitions were a bit silly. How were you going buy or develop players to equal the best in Europe on a turnover of 100 million ?

Fulham had one of the greatest away days ever at that place. Needed to win to get out of the Europa League group. Met Roy Hodgson just ambling around the Christmas markets about five hours before kickoff. Took over the lovely Stockli pub in the city centre. Won 3-2 because Zamora and Gera dismantled them. Spent the night singing karaoke in a weird bar with a Federer-alike playing piano.

[@lucaosswald1752]

Reto Baumgartner didn't replace Bernhard Burgener, David Degen did. There are multiple parts in the structure of FC Basel: One part (FC Basel 1893 Verein) holds the name, the clubcolors and is where the fans can be members to vote for decisions. Reto Baumgartner is president of FC Basel 1893 Verein. The other part (FC Basel Holding AG) is where decisions around players, trainers and so on are made. Bernhard Burgener was president of it before David Degen replaced him.

[@wabonox7451]

Hi could you consider doing a video on the season of Servette FC (also Swiss league). They are doing an exceptional season. So far, 1 point behind the leader in the league, semi final of cup and round of 16 of conference league. With a team worth only 25 millions, they manage to eliminate Genk (100+ millions value), compete equally with Rangers (100+ value) and drew against AS Roma but they had also some problems with new players that cannot play due to administrative issues and it would be great to summaries it in a video.

[@styepen602]

Great video again, filled with history and humour, if you ever go to Switzerland again, may I suggest Montreux?, It’s not a football place, but it’s a music place (sod that, it’s a music pilgrimage), and a very quiet, calming place, also very touching tribute to Steve Wright at the back 👍.

[@neilscaturchio5434]

I had to re-watch the 3:42 minute mark again a few times, in order to convince myself that it wasn't a younger Bjork doing this video, and that it was actually our favourite female football reporter, Nieve aka StuntPegg....... :D (G'day from Australia! - Feel free to head down here and do a tour of our A-League & NPL infrastructure, if you haven't already!

[@GuteLauneBS]

It wasn't the Young Boys who took the title away from us. It was B. Burgener who first sold 6 regular players, then made further dreadful mistakes and thus sent FC Basel into misery. The same Burgener wasted millions (approx. 47) of Swiss francs of the club unnecessarily.

[@colincgc]

FC Barcelona were formed in 1899 by Joan Gamper (who had played for FC Basel) and Frederick Whitty who had gone to school at Merchant Taylor's School, Crosby in Liverpool. Both Basel's soccer shirts and Merchant Taylor's rugby shirts were blue and maroon. They agreed that Barcelona's colours (Blaugrana) would mirror these kits. Nothing to do with the video, Nieve, I just love useless information.

Never get a seat at the front at FC Basel. The stadium was converted to a pure football stadium, but the roof never extended over what was previously the running track. I spent a game getting soaked in torrential rain. I also spent an hour in a queue waiting to park in the multi-storey car park, waiting until 8pm when the shops shut, and then 9pm kickoff football fans could park.
