Do they not sell tickets online on the day of the match? Doesn't seem to come up.

Re: City Vs Bayern Munich Pre Match Thread

Your comments about Bayern’s youth policy in the 60s are 100% correct, but then again you’re replying to an opinion that hasn’t actually been made.

Bayern’s team of the 70s included a core of local talent, as did Ajax, St Etienne, and Liverpool. However, that was in the days of the old style European Cup.
The Champions League wasn’t revamped to make a better competition. It was revamped purely to make the rich clubs richer. and the recent TV deal will exaggerate the gulf in finances even further.
We now have a culture of “Super Clubs” and this is why City feel like unwelcome guests at somebody else’s party.

We respect Bayern, but it’s obvious from Rummenigge’s comments that he considers City to be some kind of modern day plastic outfit, like Wolfsburg or Leverkusen. when in reality we have always been one of the best supported teams in England.

Incidentally, City won the League in 1937.

Enjoy the match

I don't support a "Super Club".

As far as I'm concerned there are only 3 1/2 of those. Real, Barca and Bayern. A club based near you fulfills some of the criteria.

I only commented, because I think they are a magnificent club.

The local core of talent you refer to is part of that. They are still built around local players ( Muller, Lahm, Schweinsteiger) supplemented with bought in German and foreign talent.

Even the board are true Bayern men, including the maligned Hoeness and Rummenigge?

Did the latter call City a plastic club?

If they didn't tolerate non "Superclubs", then they'd have a private league consisting of them, their two Spanish friends and ManUtd.

What Bayern is build on is money from huge sponsordeals, made because the club guaranteed itself to be in the Chimps League through the years by knicking rivals best players to see of competition. Probably the main reason why every other German footie dislikes your club.

As for the private league you are referring to: the Chimps league WAS formed for and by what we refer to as "Superclubs". Who indeed have or had a private league: G14.
The fact that you let yourself name Bayern as a Superclubs simply ackowlegde the fact that Bayern-fans don't even know how sad a bunch of arrogant twats they are. It probably would do you lot no harm relving a bit of what our club has been through over the last decades. Then again I don't expect you to understand.

And finally: No, Rummenigge didn't state City is a plastic club. His comments easily tells he considder us as one. As has been written previously on here.

Look 8 years back - Bayern was no. 8 in the Deloitte money list in a country that had the lowest TV contract of Europe's big leagues...

A lot of the money just comes with the success. Even Bayern's big sponsordeals just came with the success. Yes, we were the big dogs in Germany - but not in Europe... The position we are in now (in Europe) came with the success in sports of the recent seasons. The success came with a coach from the Netherlands, a couple of homegrown players, a Real Madrid drop off and Ribery.

You just do not grow from a midtable club to a top club in 2 or 3 years. It takes a longer time and some generations of players. Because of the CL it means that you have to stay in the top 4 consistently - Dortmund is in a pole position to rise in a big position no matter if they loose players to bigger clubs as they have a lot more money and income than the other 15 clubs bar Bayern. It is the same story for any club - the same for the midtable club that needs to consistently do good work to stay were they are...
