Reading that makes me ridiculously jealous of the German fans. The clubs over there have it spot on, how football is meant to be. It's a shame the football setup in this country has gone down the sh*tter. Also £95 for a season ticket to one of the country's top clubs is outstanding.
Been to Germany a few times to watch games. Fantastic experience, and the atmosphere is the best I've ever heard
All major leagues should strive to follow the German blueprint. They seem to be doing quite a lot right.
Apart from Big spending Bayern what have they done. All there best players hump ship ASAP what have any of them done in champ league apart from Bayern. How many 1/4's or semis have they got to? didnt arsenal and chelsea finish top of there groups with german teams in them. Read some comments from the japan player manchester have signed. I always wanted to play for manchester, englands the place you want to play. But you know more than him dont you.
Phil, look at the way the two leagues are run, look at the contrast between the two. IMO that's the most important point.
Winnings important, the FACTS are that they do spend big and do have big debt. They do spend big, look at Bayern they spend big for players that arent wanted by other euro heavy weights. look at robben, wasnt wanted to madrid or chelsea so went to a lesser league and signed for the big spenders.
Piltdown Man is the classic example Of why you should always question the views and opinions of experts. Even in my own discipline, the methods of a hero of mine called Heinrich Schliemann proved that geniuses make mistakes.
I admire your determination Maz, but surely even you realise you are never going to get through to him. Like educating pork.
