    This Bayern squad is dead, can't believe how much these guys have fallen off in the past few years.

    Hopefully playing this terrible vs amateur teams is the last eye opener for Uli and Kalle, we need to revamp everything next summer.

    Starting with getting them to retire (at least Hoeneß). Was on the same plane again with them a few days ago, so full of it.

    So Boca and River are playing in the Libertadores final, first time in history.

    Should be a crazy match atmosphere-wise, one of the most heated rivalries in the world.

    Bayern is rotten now from top to bottom.

    They need a complete overhaul, management and players.

    They have convicted criminal running your team, old and slow players past their prime, and a selfish striker that plays only for himself.

    That press conference they did recently where they are crying and whining about the media was disgraceful.

    Where were the naysayers when he got out of prison and results did not look bleak?

    I told you so is never too late.

    They had two of the world's best coaches in Carlo and Pep and people were still b****ing as I recall back then.

    b****ing about the wrong problem, so it seemed.

    The personnel was not Barca or Real like but still.

    Now when things go really wrong and they cannot even dominate the league, folks are seemingly seeing the 'lightbulb turning on'.

    Guys have only been complaining for years instead of performing, truly embarrassing and it's time to get rid of them. Hope Uli finally realizes these guys are divas and that a coaching change isn't the solution this time.

    ("To defend oneself against such things unfortunately appears to be pointless, you probably just have to sit through it.")

    Don't believe everything that's in the media, especially when it comes to Bayern and even more when they're in a crisis.

    Maybe he's right in that instance, but all the comments for the Ancelotti era were proven to be correct later on (for example Ribery, Robben, Müller etc whining in Uli's office).
    Outlets like BILD have a lot of inside info on stuff like this, you see it with the locker room leaks daily.

    That's why Bayern sues BILD for three different stories right now, the one around Sancho you've spread here at last.

    Not sure I buy Bayern's version, was pretty weird to completely cut off Brazzo from answering. If it was due to legal reasons as stated, Brazzo could've said so himself.
    You don't stop the guy from answering if there's supposedly zero possibility of him revealing something unintentionally that would hurt your story.

    Wouldn't read too much into that. The lawyers probably asked them not to speak publicly in detail about the case as every lawyer does and Brazzo is not known to control his temper (don't think he's the brightest anyway), so they cut him off just to make sure. Rumenigge was all confident about pressing charges in the Sancho-case.

    One of the most enigmatic players whose career might have turned much better than it had is retiring.

    And his private life with Sylvie and her friend also turned his career upside down.

    Rafael Van der Vaart.

    Just read a very weird article in a Belgian newspaper about Ronaldinho been broke and getting very close to bankruptcy, no idea if it really that close.

    Used to love Van der Vaart but he was one of those players that just fizzled away for me, kinda expected Wesley Sneijder to retire before him.
