Beckanbauer under investigation by Swiss Authorities

[crazyg]

The part about the Bundesliga is bullocks. The distribution in the Bundesliga is fine - first (over the last five years) gets about double of that the last of the league gets. The sums are just smaller than in the EPL... http://www.fernsehgelder.de/ - the imbalance in the Bundesliga is not caused by Bayern but by bad economic work of some of the other clubs who all had it in them to be a big horse because of their infrastructure. Dortmund seems to take their chance now after their near bankruptcy 10 years ago but it just takes awhile (and maybe a special player generation)
People who just look into the situation today do not see where Bayern was about 10 years ago in Europe.

Do not forget that the ECA interests are your interests, too. If you want to be a top club you have to think like one. I think that Rummenigge and the ECA for their interests - and that is for the big clubs in the big nations that are the ones that bring in the money (and the UEFA usually like the FIFA tries to serve the small ones as that gives them the votes) do a great job.

The FC Bayern benefits from Rummenigge's work in the ECA - but not how you think as that is the benefit all big clubs have - and a lot of the others. We profit from his networking when e.g. transfers like that of Thiago run smooth from president to president or when Sanches who just gets out of injury gets called for the portugese team and he just phones with the president of their FA to get them to change it.

1. Wasn't that when Bayern loaned them (?) 1.5 million euros to help bail them out, but didn't disclose the deal for a few years? Completely against Bundesliga rules, I believe.

2. But when you're NOT a top club and trying to break into the cartel, as we were not so long ago, the ECA tried to put all sorts of obstacles in the way to us joining that "elite" band. FFP anyone? When that didn't work, I know, let's move the goalposts to make sure that City fail.

Who were the leading lights in this vendetta and major spokesmen? You've guessed it, our friends in Munich.

Isn't Karma wonderful? (I was going to say Schadenfreude, but I can't spell it)

Sounds like something a privileged upper class fat cat would say while sipping champagne. Poverty is the result of bad economic decisions by the poor......

...whilst getting all your fat rich friends to join you in leaning on your fat rich, bent friends in government to create a set of rules designed to stop those poor folk from ever getting anywhere near the trough in which your big fat piggy nose is stuck.

Trying to keep up with FC Bayern?

First Rummenigge then Hoeness now Beckenbauer. True Colours ?

I hope when Beckenbauer is bummed in the shower, no lube is used.

FBİ aimed to remove Beckenbauer and all members of "conservative Eurozone establishment"-"old Europe" from football long ago. İ think U.S. is something to do with this investigation again.
