Yes - as in this times that is as interesting as the so called sack of rice. As there is no other club that has sponsors from the region or as Bayern did not have a sponsor from Qatar before... And I want to see the Bundesliga club that would say no in the same situation...
The Coman injury is stupid.

This is not the place to push Bayern news. I have been quite critical of the decision, but there’s better places for this. No need to bring it up here.
Since it’s now here: I think we shouldn’t have done it for a few extra bucks, especially since our reduced training camp down there seemed like a step in the right direction.
Joshua Kimmich has extended until 2023. Good.
Meanwhile, Jupp has basically publicly said that he'd love for Bayern to hire Tuchel. Also good

It is indeed very good news! The one I‘m worried about atm is Alaba. Okay, he is not world class at the moment, but Bayern wouldn’t be able to find a better LB
Alaba has a contract until 2021. I very much doubt we would let him go, if he even wants to leave. We should definitively do our utmost to keep him.
After 6 years of playing regularly for us, the guy is allowed to ponder his future, of course.
Does he still want to be a midfielder?
I was asking myself the same. I think the reality has sunk in with him in the last years that it's not going to happen.
You are correct. I somehow thought his contract only runs until 2019. Yeah, we should be fine then.
Heynckes said for the first time explicitly that nothing is decided about his stay at Bayern... so maybe he will stay beyond this season after all
Fun fact: Lewandowski today scored his 100th goal in his 120th game for Bayern and is the player who reached that mark the fastest ever out of any Bundesliga player, even faster than Gerd Müller, who took 136 games.
Gerd started that as a 20-year-old in a young team that just was promoted to the Bundesliga. Lewy in best footballer age for a team that is top of the table...
------------------
Heynckes told in the press conference that Alaba just told in the interview that it is possible that he plays someday somewhere else. Just the standard.

Can you argue that Lewandowski is the best non German player in the Bundesliga history at this point?
Robben and Ribery?
Well, great.
So our cavalier approach at finding a new coach has led to Tuchel slipping away. I said above I was worried why Hoeness would start his "Jupp and no plan B" approach when we'd be trying to get Tuchel. Now it turns out we hadn't really offered Tuchel the job until he told us he's taking over a club, I guess Chelsea. SZ write Brazzo and Rummenigge tried to persuade him yesterday after the fact.
I'm at a loss for words right now.

So Nagelsmann?
DEPRESSING
So, the top favourite for the manager job is gone. What now?
Pochettino won't happen. Who's left?
Nagelsmann? Favre? Hasenhüttl? Kovac?? Löw?
I'm for Hasenhüttl now.

I would love to try Favre. He’s not as young and fancy, but he could archieve great things
Wouldn't be opposed to Favre. I have a feeling it wouldn't work out too well, but I would be ok with giving it a try. Basically, all the above options are interesting (bar Löw whom I simply dislike). Still, at the moment I'm most impressed with Hasenhüttl.
Making Dortmund look like a pub side. Gulf in class.
I honestly think Bayern council is still trying to persuade Jupp into another year and that is why they are so slow on appointing a new manager. If he does not want another year, imho it will be Kovac. He is part of the Bayern family, one year of good work at Frankfurt and a friend of Brazzo. I would much more go for a guy like Favre though, because Kovac proved nothing yet. Could be a step too early.
There weren't many alternatives.
Hiring a midtable manager from the same league to replace an outgoing legendary manager. Can't remember when that happened at a big club?
Anyway genuinely haven't heard of this guy. Seems a surprising choice.

Bayern have made this type of manager signing in the past. And Barca hired a mid-table manager last summer.
Eintracht Frankfurt are fifth in the Bundesliga.
Bayern could hire Moyes himself and win the league with ease next season.
Although actually, maybe Moyes is so bad he couldn't even win the title with Bayern.
Frankfurt are no more a long ball team than any other Bundesliga team, including Bayern.
I am biased though as I support EF.
Kovac has had a fantastic second full season at Frankfurt after having saved the club from relegation in 2016 (although things got worse before they got better when he took over).
Frankfurt will almost certainly be in Europe next season (probably the EL) and are in with a shout of making the DFB Pokal final for the second year running.
Kovac has done a great job that has not gone unnoticed in Germany.
I wish him all the best at Bayern.
Used to be a coach for the croatian national team, did ok there but don't think he's ready for such a big club with equally big expectations.
Gonna be an interesting experiment if it happened. Hopefully he won't be their Moyes.
Well... it's something... I guess
Beggars can‘t be choosers.
Mental decision if true. Mind-boggling. Whoever (we all know...) is responsible deserves a packl watschn.
yeah, he's done a great job with Frankfurt since 2016. he also used to play for Bayern with his brother, so he wouldn't be an outsider like Moyes was in Manchester and he actually had a good career as player, being the captain of our NT for quite a while and spent majority of his career in bundesliga, so that probably counts for something as well. at least there would be certain logic behind this appointment if it goes through.
i wouldn't say that. Kovac did an outstanding job at Eintracht, obviously has the balls for it, and even more importantly, knows the club very well, he knows what to expect. We'll see, i wouldn't say its an awful call. Tuchel would have worked football-wise, but unless he learned a lot from his BVB experience, i'd given him 6 months max before he had clashed with either Hoeneß or Rumpelfliege. Would have been interesting to watch Nagelsmann or Hasenhüttl at the job, though.
that either means he doesn't know how to do anything else, or he knows how to set tactics that work with the players at hand....
Klinsmann 2.0 in the making..
Can see him doing well there actually.
