A look at Bayer Leverkusen's Bruno Labbadia concludes our The New Gaffer: Introducing... series
this week. So far we've examined, in order: the journeyman, the company man, the stranger and, er,
Martin Jol. Labbadia is a mix between a poor man's Jürgen Klinsmann and a poor man's Christian

1st Schalke What You Know: If baseball's Chicago Cubs had a baby with the Red Sox prior to 2004,
