Schuster likely to stay in LaLiga

Beckenbauer recently praised the blonde Angel to high heavens

now he tells the media that Schuster's Getafe experience is not enough for the Bavarian giants

obviously, village idiots Hoeness and Rummenigge had other ideas

Bayern Munich's problems increasingly lie with the commercial management

these fruitcakes could seriously go for Sven or Houllier over SChuster

what is Bayern'/the Bundesliga's loss is Real's gain, it seems

yeah i heard that and now its open for mijatovic to take shuster as fast as possible as i see bayern changing their minds when hitzfeld is out of europe with bayern

I told you Bayern and Schuster won't work, at least with their current board.

Amazing - there is a proven, creative and tactically aware German coach with a lot of experience in the world's best league (it's not like we have too many of them these days...), both as a coach and as a world class player, doing impressive stuff with teams that have the budget of Bielefeld, yet he is not 'good enough' for Bayern.

imagine that somebody who is good enough for Real and Barca does not cut it for our Bavarians

I really want Hitzfeld to turn the corner and eliminate Real

then again, IF they got eliminated in the second round of the CL and only qualified for the UEFA Cup under the brilliant Ottmar, even the blind would see that the two village idiots would have to be sacked

problem is, the supervisory board it too gutless

maybe Dortmund could lure Schuster; the boy is so desperate to manage in the Bundesliga that he was even prepared to go to Wolfsburg

Yeah, Schuster really would love to work in Germany again it seems. I absolutely believe that he could do miracles for any Bundesliga club. And while Bayern won't work for the reasons repeatedly mentioned, Dortmund would actually be a very good call.

Dortmund is a sleeping giant. Financially, they are pretty well off now, after some awful years when they almost went bankrupt. They need a good / great manager to inspire them.

The reason that Hoeness and Rummenigge wont give Schuster a change is because they will get van Gaal. van Gaal has one dream....well 2 perhaps. Coaching a team on the WC and coaching Bayern.

It's obvious he will leave AZ after this season. And will train the Lederhosen.

Would you ever have van Gaal back as Holland manager?

He made a right pigs ear of the qualification for 2002, with some of the Worlds best at his disposal.

No, cause he is a very weird man. But on the other hand I have more confidence in him then in van Basten. But van Gaal had his chance, and he blew it. Im not a big fan of second chances....But to be fair that 2002 was a spoiled squad filled with arrogant people.

Which oranje squad wasn't / isn't?

You make it sound like this was something unusual...

Van Gaal is an arrogant prick, so he would fit well into Bayern. He is a good coach also.

Maybe Makaay and Van Bommel can vouch for him, so we have a new FC Holland in the Bundesliga. Even more reason for me to want to see them lose, at least domestically...

In the Bundesliga, Bayern definitely need to lose for a while so we can have an even field again. Hell, they can lose forever for all I care, FC Hollywood or FC Holland, doesn't matter to me.

They should qualify for Europe though, we need those arrogant 'miasanmia' Bavarians there.

The only German team worth doing something in Europe and everybody wants us to lose , we will be back in the league next yr(I hope) , anyway its Schalke's trophy to win now.

Even if you were a small midtable club (hypothetically speaking), everyone would have wanted you to lose because of your arrogant board, especially because of Hoeness.

Still, Bayern have been too successful domestically for their own good. Without a real challenge, it's no surprise that you have become so complacent that your board actually believed that you could walk the league again without a central attacking midfielder in your squad.

You have to respect Bayern for their success, and their contribution to German football, but you can still enjoy seeing Hoeness' infuriated after a Bayern defeat.

Actually I think its time for Hoeness to go ,maybe you are right, we should have gone for a replacement for Ballack but with Magath incharge we werenot going anywhere , the only positive this season is he is gone , I am hoping for a good coach next season and some decent buying and we will be challenging again.

Bayern will always challenge for the title as long as their turnovers and profits are (at least) twice as high as their strongest competitors, no matter how incompetent the sporting decisions may be. Financially, Bayern are in a different league in the Bundesliga, and this won't change anytime soon.

But for Bayern to be successful in Europe again, and that's what I actually want to see, for the sake of the Bundesliga, I'm convinced that they need a stronger competition at home, they need a stronger Bundesliga. We need more clubs in Europe that can compete with the best teams.

Bayern need to change their transfer policy (give their own youth a chance, and only buy quality foreigners abroad that help them and increase the quality of the league, instead of buying the best talent of their strongest competitors and weakening them at the same time), they need to be more creative and they definitely need to take more risks. Hoeness has done an excellent job as far as the finances are concerned, but you really need some kind of (preferably young) sporting director who is responsible for the transfers, together with your coach. Bremen and Stuttgart are some good examples how it can be done.

Bayern have more than enough money to create a CL winning side, they just need a competent coach (Hitzfeld definitely is, but he is just staying for a few months) and some additional guy for the transfers. And they need patience and have to give them time, since it will take a while.

Van Gaal could be a success at Bayern if:

>He can work with down to earth players
>Many young players
>He gets the absolute power to reach his goals
>His relationship with the press wont work too much against him. He will get a lot of fights with them because he doesn't like the press who screw with the facts. The press will always screw the fact to sell more papers. But, as long the authoroties back Van Gaal during these fights it would notr be a big problem. He is a real teacher who knows everything better and he will teach the press his way is the only way. Everyone with a different opinion will get a lecture why they are wrong. Can the Germans handle this? Or will a possible "war" with, let say, the Bild Zeitung automatically mean Van Gaals days are over...?
>how powerful is the technical staff at Bayern? Van Gaal wants to change Bayern's organisation from the tip till the toe! If he thinks he has to work on other peoples domain he will do that. So, other people in his surroundings at Bayern have to be quite flexible and reasonable to work with him.

BTW. Van Gaal was extremely successful as a national coach despite he failed to qualify with the overrated Dutchies at 2002. He significantly changed the KNVB’s (Dutch FA) organisation. He professionalised it perfectly with his introduction of his Master plan.

This Master plan made it possible for the Oranje youth to become very successful. The Oranje youth was extremely naive and bad organised before Van Gaal and because of that the youth never won something despite the many talents Netherlands always produced! The U21 European title in Portugal was directly the result of the Master plan! Also the very successful U-17 team at the WC in Peru and European Cup in Italy were possible because of this Master plan!

quite funny to consider that perhaps the team to crash out (Real or Bayern) may opt for Schuster. Perhaps there is an incentive for both teams not to win, so they can land Bernardo.

good stuff about Hitzfeld and Kahn (including video)
