You'd think what has happened a bit closer to home at clubs like L**ds and Cardiff would make people more wary.
1860 Munich haven't paid the money in time and are no longer a professional football club. 4th or possibly 5th level of German football for them next season. Utterly sad and frustrating news for their fans, just goes to show what can happen with an owner who has no interest in the club.

Class by Sheffield FC, from their Facebook page: Dear TSV 1860 München, As your older brother from another mother, we feel sorry about this piece of your rich club's history. And we feel sorry for your loyal fans most of all. But the good news is: football is much more fun without having to worry about investors and millionaires. You just care about 11 players on a field, kicking the ball with true passion for the game and your local folks enjoying some pints - nothing else. Don't be afraid of your future, it'll be great! For new history to come. Sincerely Yours, #theworldsfirst #nonprofessional #since1857
