The other new teams in 3. Liga are VfB Lübeck, Türkgücü München, and
Saarbrücken. Lübeck were once as high as second Bundesliga, but have
been at the 4th level for the past 12 year. Saarbrücken was a funding
member of the Bundesliga, and was last at the third level 6 years ago.
Türkgücü comes out of nowhere on a river of money.
Which dried up rather quickly and one-and-a-half years later they've
now declared bankruptcy.
First they were given a (12?) point penalty, that made survival pretty
much impossible, then they withdrew completely. This meant that *all*
their results were annulled. Since Türkgücü had managed to take points
off *some* of the top teams, this skewed the promotion battle.
You would think that such a withdrawal would have consequences, but
Türkgücü is starting the Regionalliga as if nothing had happened.
