I can only think of a scenario, where Bayern kind of beats themselves
[...]
So I think most people here agree that Bayern will win the Bundesliga. I really don't know of any team that can consistently perform well over the next 32 matchdays and has a large squad.
Anyone of a different opinion? Hoffenheim? Leipzig? Dortmund?
When it comes to the Bundesliga title, even an unmotivated Bayern team will be enough to win it in the end. The problem is that all the competition is just way to inconsistant. Dortmund has so many young, talented players but somehow they keep struggling season after season to win matches where they are the clear favorites. Don't know what's the problem there. Maybe Favre just doesn't know how to prepare the team properly and give them the right tactics.
Other teams like Leipzig, Bayer, Gladbach etc. are even further behind Bayern.
What I think can become a problem for Bayern is their relatively small team. With all the matches ahead of them (Super Cup, DFB Pokal, regular Bundesliga matches, club world cup ... and whatever there is) players will get exhausted. In particular when you almost have no summer break, no winter break and most of your players also play for their national teams. That's the reason why I think Bayern will also make one or two transfers before the end of this transfer window.
Nobody wants to be coach at Schalke.
I would do it in a heartbeat
And I guess I wouldn't do
that much worse than Wagner. I think there are only very few people in the whole world who would not want to earn around 2.5mln per year with a relatively easy job compared to others. There is a huge pressure from bosses, fans, media etc., but all this money is a good compensation for that. Imagine you do this just for one year - you are basically set for life then. And Wagner still gets paid his full wage until his contract expires in 2022, easy money
But only if you are in only for the money and plan to retire afterwards. Because whoever will become Schalke coach probably destroys his reputation as a coach in the process of trying to be successful on Schalke
Tedesco, Breitenreiter, Weinzierl ... for all of them beeing Schalke coach wasn't really benefitial for their career.
Schalke somehow reminds me of the HSV. Also a team with a huge fan base that is falling way behind the expectations, with financial problems and with a lot of drama in the management and the executive level (Kühne, Tönnies).
I can't wait to see who they have in mind as their new coach. I heard Beierlorzer has some free time now
Or they should call Peter Neururer.
