Wow....just stumbled across this thread and the bollocks that some people are writing is scary.
Wonder why people still always have to play the "Nazi scum" cards when it comes to Germany and some comments could be directly taken from the Sun or equally "intelligent" papers.
As Ruhr already mentioned German football as such is definitely not a role model and we suffer from a lot of crap as well.
I can perfectly understand that you consider the Bayern board to be a lot of cunts and I can´t stand them or the club myself.
However no matter how much you despise them, their club or the fans you won´t find a single club that is better run than Bayern.
The management is top notch and if you were in their position you might their grief against the likes of Chelsea/City as well, simply because they worked their way up to their position over the years, are dept free and generally just well run.
They do have this annoying, cocky attitude and the tendency to mouth other clubs off. They dont just do this with foreign clubs, but even with Bundesliga clubs (Dortmund was their latest target and Schalke, Frankfurt etc. are more samples), but its something you get used to over the years...
Reading stuff like "Bayern are Nazis" into this article however is just beyond words...As Ruhr mentioned they have a heavy jewish background, their biggest supporter group is part of the "Alerta Network" fighting racism, homophobia etc.
Hoeness himself is a **** of the highest order when it comes to football, but the amount of charity stuff he has running is something you hardly ever see mentioned in the media.
When other clubs are in financial struggle Hoeness is the first to offer them Charity matches against Bayern to earn some quick money, he has gotten ex players, who were in financial trouble, jobs in the club and if you ask former Bayern players I doubt you will anyone who doesnt have a high opinion of him.
Great...now I have seen everything...Me defending Bayern on the City boards. *shiver*
