Uli Hoeness threatened that they will do everything they can to reclaim the no. 1 spot in Germany, after they were defeated in the league for two consecutive years by Dortmund.
Hoeness that dis******* ******.
I heard one fan say, that he (the fan) does not want Bayern to buy off every one that is a competition to them, because he would rather like to see interesting games than always see his team win. I doubt Hoeness thinks in that way or even understands that thinking.
Maybe it's like collecting cars fro rich people, you can't drive all at the same time, but you like to have plenty of them staying around.
A bit off-topic, but while talking about Hoeness. I found the statement of a comedian/cabaret-artist about Hoeness repenting and crying (tears) in front of the annual Bayern-member gathering. Those that do not have enough money to pay a living and get money from the state, save their money all the year to buy a Bayern ticket and then Hoeness must sit there and cry because he thinks "haha, they are so stupid, I did tax fraud and have money more than they will ever earn in 10 lifes and they still raise their arm (maybe a political cabaret hint to the Hitler salute. Creates other pictures with the corrupt Bayern people and their historic role)."
No one really talks about it, that he did self-denunciation, only because he knew the police just recently got to know about his affairs (actually thinkable someone in the Staatskanzlei warned him) and tried to lower the amount of taxes he has to pay back. Everyone is like "he is a shiny golden god, because he self-denunciated him", in fact he would have not done so, if the police did not know and perhaps never would have done.
Sorry, but I sometimes would like to puke when I think of the corrupt people Bavarians (or at least everyone, that has some - even minor - political occupation) seem to be as such; and that they even not understand what they did wrong, when employing 11 year olds as assistants in their offices. (Well, that's another story... I could go on here endlessly...)
Bayern is our Alabama, that Neil Young would say has the rest of the union to help them along.
---------- other transfers --------------
Ter Stegen anounced, he will leave Gladbach (third in the Bundesliga at the moment). Rumors say he is going to Barcelona (his club said, they do not know, but they think it is the club, everyone talks about).
Ter Stegen got very much attention when he got number 1 at Gladbach, because he seemed to be mature (or at least someone who can foresee a lot) at a young age. I find from the moment he played several times in the national team and the team lost matches arround 3-5 goals against them - some with really unlucky mistakes, some would say stupid mistakes - that must have changed something in him, because from that time on, he got worse in the Bundesliga, too. Or is it that I was just following him more.
He shed a tear, when anouncing he would leave (had been in Gladbach since his very youth), I wonder if it was all from his side, or if the club thought, we might better sell him now, where he is still thought about to be very good, than later.
As a replacement Oliver Baumann, SC Freiburg and Yann Sommer FC Basel are mentioned. I wonder why they do not use their number two...
