It is hard to believe: FC Bayern chases Thomas Müller from the farm and knocks the cost brake in at the office in order to ultimately somehow raise 250 million euros for a 22-year-old and then even align the system on him. What’s next? Is the association or the stadium named after Wirtz? Or the whole city?
Since 2009, FC Bayern has mainly been standing for Louis van Gaal’s traditional 4-2-3-1 system. Change that for a new player would now be a blatant mistake. Two playmakers? What nonsense!
And then first the austerity measures. What a devastating signal! Anyone who acts has long since lost the relationship to their own identity. The association, which once stood for “Mia San Mia” and a family coexistence, becomes a transfer machine. Shorten salaries, ignore inflation, delete new jobs – and then put such a deal in such a way? Are you crazy?
Of course, Bayern needs big players. But the price for this must not be to leave your own people in the rain. The employees at the office are the backbone of the club. Without their work, no contracts, no events, no media work run. They stand for the values that Bayern once made so big. And it is precisely these values that the association is now sacrificing the “Bild” on the altar of quick success.
Anyone who believes that Wirtz can save Bavaria alone is wrong. And what should only happen when it comes, but then injured?
Stability grows from the inside – and those who destroy trust internally will also pay the price on the lawn. The change of course at Bavaria? A certificate of poverty. And in the end, the club may not only lose its soul – but may also be in supremacy in Germany.
