Bayern call time on Van Gaal


Louis Van Gaal on his opening game for Bayern


In an announcemant on the club website, Bayern Munich director Franz Beckenbauer has told fans that Manager Louis Van Gaal has been removed as his position.

Beckenbauer said that it was with a heavy heart that he removed Van Gaal as he had led Bayern in a direction he approved off. He said the reason for Van Gaal's departure is something that has happened behind the scenes and will remain a club matter. As yet they have not revealed what the problem actualy was, but rumours are stating that Beckenbauer wanted to look into moving in an Arsenal direction by bringing in youth, Van Gaal on the other hand did not and asked for £45million to invest into his squad.

Nether the less, the outcome is the departure of a great manager.

Bayern are now looking into employing their new manager as soon as possible, and are also rumoured to be looking into an 'Arsene Wenger' situation.

Beckenbauer stated that the appointment of a rookie manager had a very large appeal to himself and the fellow board members. He also commented that they had a shortlist, but wouldn't be revealing the names on it to the public.


The last appearance of Van Gaal in his Bayern tracksuit

Many players have spoke out of the departure of the manager, Franck Ribery being one of these. Ribery commented by saying that Van Gaal had been a great manager, and now that he had left, he felt his future was elsewhere. With Inter, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City looking for his signature, surely now the move onwards in Europe will get rolling soon.

More news on this when it comes in, but for fans, both reports wil be heavily anticipated. All will be revealed on the club website.

Foot Note : This is my final story for FM2010. My next (if I create one) will be when I purchase FM2011. I hope you follow.

P.S - The possible sale of Ribery is based loosely on my developed dislike of him via Carine's 'Being Bastian' story. I would like to state though that this is not a story to teal his readers. I hope people will follow both.

Gracias.

Plans for the Allianz Arena are finally released

View attachment 102309
The Stadium before a Bayern game


After weeks of no manager and uncertain futures for many players, Beckenbauer has finally told Bayern's official website of the future plans for his team.

The Bayern legend stated that he decided that he would create a new route for his Bayern team to follow. With the team usually employing bigger names the former German stopper informed us that they would not be heading in this direction for their next approuch.

Beckenbauer told the reporters that during the weeks when no news was given they were actualy searching over Europe for the right man to use in order to employ their new scheme. They narrowed it down to 4 candidates and invitied them to the Allianz, where the new manager would be selected.

After interviewing the 4 candidates it was Scotsman, Craig Todd who was finally choosen to take the club forward. Todd will be to most, un heard of. But when looked at closer, he has an impressive CV.

He has won a Danish title, a Sweedish title before jumping to Holland and winning their Second division. He then headed back to Denmark with Copenhagen where he was spotted by Bayern as a replacement for Van Gaal.

At 30 years of age he is reletivly young. Bayern fans will be hoping that he will be able to delve straight into things and take over an already strong side. But thats when Beckenbauer announced his 2nd and 3rd pieces of news. Todd and Beckenbauer commented that they will not be looking to sign players over the age of 23. Todd stated that the players over this would not be leaving but they won't be looking to sign players older than that.

This has confirmed rumours that Beckenbauer was looking for a similar system to that of Arsenal's. With both of these now confirmed both men signed heavily and revealed that Franck Ribery had left the German outfit.


Beckenbauer and Ribery. Their relationship was said to have 'Broken down' due to off-field antics of the Frenchman.

The Frenchman has agreed a 5-year deal with Italian Serie A champions Inter. Rafa Benitez was said to have moved quickly when he heard of the turmoil between club and player and offered Bayern a deal worth £27million. Todd stated that they considered this offer for a week before countering it to £38.5million. Inter accepted these terms and made an improved offer. Ribery then flew to Milan where he passed a medical and signed a 5-year deal worth £125,000 a week.

The deal though has greatly improved Bayern's financies and their wage budget. Everyone understood that Ribery is a great player but Beckenbauer was said to be 'deeply dissappointed' with some of the Frenchman's antics of the field.



Ribery was playing against the reserves - this would be his last game


Todd and Beckenbauer finally released that they had drew up a shortlist of players. This included Mats Rits of Germinal Beerschott, Van Der Wiel of Ajax and Arda Turan of Galatasary.

Keep looking around to find out more . . .

On another note, how do you get your images to show up big? Mine always seem to load up small and can't find an option to change this.

haha, cheers for the mention -- just like to say though, I don't think Ribery is really like this and I do like him in real life, lol :)

An inspired Gomez helps Bayern turn an impressive month!


Mario Gomez - He's successfully netted 7 goals this month


As Bayern geared up for their era under the management of Craig Todd, the impressive performances of forward Mario Gomez helped them pick up 10 victory's in 11 matches. He netted a cool 7 goals, contributed 5 assists and earned 4 MOM.


From 31st of July to 29th of September


Bayern started their new era with an away trip in the German cup 1st round. Bayern did not find the game very difficult as they eased a 3-0 win with Gomez netting a brace. Todd then praised the format of the German Cup. He stated that the format of which all teams participate from Round 1 makes the competition better. He went on to say that the oppourtunity that this provides the smaller teams is excellant as they can sometimes generate transfer funds via ticket sales.

But when it came to the opening game of the season Bayern still impressed as they geared up against current holders of the league, Wolfsburg. In a tough game it was Bayern who came out on top. They picked up a 2-1 victory in a game which was hotly contested. It was goals from Phillip Lahm and Mario Gomez who picked up Bayern's first 3 points of the season.

Bayern then had a rest before having a mid-week game against Nurmberg. Bayern once again impressed pundits and fans as they romped the opposition and picked up a 4-2 victory. Miroslav Klose, Thomas Muller and a Toni Kroos brace helped Bayern as they headed back to the Allianz. Todd was quick to praise the performances of Kroos and Muller and commented that they were the 'future' of both Bayern and Germany.

Bayern then welcomed Frankfurt to the Allianz in a game which Bayern where once again expected to win. They rested several players but that didn't stop then winning 5-0, their greatest margin so far this season. It was new youngster Richard Sukuta - Paso who opened the scoring. The 19-year old German recently signed from Leverkusen for a reported fee of £2.5million. He was quick to impress as after 22 seconds he gathered a pass from Van Bommel and swiveled on the 18 yard box before smashing home a stunning strike. Things got even better as Croatian Ivica Olic netted a hat-trick before Mark Van Bommel completed the scoring.

In their final game of August Bayern were against a Werder Bremen in a tough away game. This didn't face them though as they picked up a vital 2-0 win. A Tim Weise own goal combined with a bullet header from Mario Gomez helped Bayern. At this point, Bayern sat top with 12 points from a possible 12.

The International break came and went and seen Muller make his debut for the full national side. Klose netted twice whilst away as well as Schweinsteiger netting whilst away. But they would be greeted with a tough game when back at club level in the appearance of Hoffenheim. Despite Bayern being at home they struggled for most of the game before substitute Sukuta-Pasu earned all 3 points as his team won 1-0.

Next game Bayern's first game of the year in the prestigious UEFA Champions League. It came against a difficult opposition in Italy's AS Roma. But despite big hype before the game, the Italian side didn't live up to it. A stunning volley from Schweinsteiger and another goal from Mario Gomez handed the Germans a 2-0 victory. They went to the top of the group with 3 points.


Gomez turning out against AS Roma

Bayern's undefeated record finally came to an end though as they were defeated by rivals Leverkusen 2-1. It could have been more as Michael Ballack missed 2 penalties. But it was Mario Gomez who restrictied the agony for the fans becoming worse.

But the blues didn't last long as they picked up an impressive 3-0 win against Aachen in the 2nd Round of the German Cup. Schweinsteiger, Arda Turan and and Miroslav Klose completed the scoresheet. This was the Turks' first goal since completing his £14.5million move from Galatasary. Turan went on to say that he felt at 'home' at the Allianz.

In another big game Bayern welcomed anothr rival, this time Schalke. They were hotly considered to be a challenger to the German title this year but Bayern easily dismissed this with another goal from captain Bastian Schweinsteiger. With 7 games now played in the league Bayern sit top with 18 points. It's not all happy for them though as Stuttgart occupy 2nd with 17 points. The 2 sides meet on the 27/11/09 at the Allianz Arena.

The final game of September seen Todd return to familiar surroundings at Kobenhavn and was greeted with a sea of appluse. The Scotsman seemed extrmemly greatful and waved numerous times throughout the game. But Todd's side didn't give the Danish side any other reason to be happy as they picked up a 2-1 victory in which Toni Kroos and Mario Gomez scored in.

This wraps up Todd's first 2 months in charge of Bayern Munich here on Bundesliga.com. For more news on how the Scotsman is getting on, watch this page...

Danke.

 
Good start there m8 -- keep it up :) 18 points from a possible 21 is pretty impressive.
 

Bayern have an average October!


Bayern fans witnessed the return of Arjen Robben who had been out for 4 months


After an impressive start to his reign as Bayern Munich boss Craig Todd's side seemed to have a slight hick-up during the month of October. Eliminated from the German cup and losing at home to Hannover. But fans also watched as Gomez continued to shine and the return of their winger, Arjen Robben.


From 2nd of October to 31st of October


Die Bayerns' first game of October was a trip away to newly promoted St.Pauli in the Bundesliga. Although before the game they were expected to heavily walk over the opposition they didn't live up to it. They only picked up a 2-1 win. Sukuta-Pasu and Arda Turan both getting on the scoresheet. Sukuta-Pasu continues to show that he was worth his price tag and although un-heard of by many is really shinning in the limelight of Bayern.

In Robben and Demechellis return against Hannover Bayern sadly slumpped to a 1-0 defeat. Both men started on the bench as they had only been training with the full team for a week and a half. But after Robben assisted in Gomez rattling the crossbar it looked like it wouldn't be Bayern's day. The central defender then made his appearance when they were reduced to 10 men as Van Buyton was gibing his marching orders. Then, in the dying minutes, Hannover grabbed a late goal and steal the 3 points.

With this result behind them Bayern had to prepare themselves for the visit of Harry Redknapp's Tottenham Hotspur to the Allianz Arena. And in the game Bayern could only manage a 2-2 draw. Although they went up 1-0, Tottenham clawed it back and gained the advantage by going up 2-1. Mario Gomez then scored his 2nd goal of the game and earned his team a point.

After a break of 4 days Die Bayern travelled to Mainz in the Bundesliga hoping to put their last league game behind them. And they did so convincingly as Gomez and Klose were on the scoresheet as they picked up the 3 points. Klose had recently announced that he was unhappy about not being considered for the role of captain and has handed in a transfer request.

Bayern then faced a shock as they crashed out of the German Cup in the 3rd round against Dortmund. They took and early lead which Bayern didn't look like they were ever going to get one back. The fans were devastated by this result and so to were the board. Todd made a public apology for this result.

But the despair did not last long as they earned their 2nd 5-0 victory of the season over Gladbach. With 5 differant goalscorers against the opposition Todd praised his team for their attacking flow. Phillip Lahm, Miroslav Klose, Thomas Muller, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Arjen Robben.


Klose and Lahm celebrate

With Bayern still sitting top of the league they may feel slightly nervous as Stuttgart are 3 points behind with a game in hand. In the UEFA Champions league Todd's side are sitting top on 7 points.

For more news and results, keep looking at this page on Bundesliga.com.

Danke.
 
Nice to have another quality story on the site! Great layout and storyline with the young lads. :)
 

A new chapter for Owen in Munich!


Excitied Bayern fans greet Michael Owen as he leaves the Allianz


BBC Sport can exclusivly reveal that Manchester United have reached an agreement over the transfer of Michael Owen to Bayern Munich. Owen will depart for the German outfit in January 2010. He penned a deal to 2012.

In an exclusive interview with Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan, he confirmed reports that Owen had travelled to Munich to talk personal terms and undergo a medical. Owen, 29, will be Todd's 7th signing as Bayerns coach.

In a deal worth £3.6million for United they are said to be 'dissappointed' with Owen's decision to leave but understand. Owen signed for the Red Devils on a free transfer when his contract with Newcastle United expired. Many people were wondering if Sir Alex Ferguson had done good business as he would be paying Owen £50,000 a week. But Owen is now a confirmed departure.

But he will face stiff competition when he arrives. With Ivica Olic, Miroslav Klose, Mario Gomez and Richard Sukuta-Pasu all playing very well he'll have to train hard to impress Todd. Rumours are suggesting though that with Owen's arrival in January the wave out could be paved for either a loan deal for Sukuta-Pasu or Olic. Todd is said to only like having 4 strikers in his 1st team squad so only time will tell.

The deal for Owen also breaks the agreement of signing players under 23 which was agreed bby Beckenbauer and Todd when he agreed to be manager. So far Beckenbauer has not commented on the transfer but a press confernace is to be held soon for Todd.

Todd was unable to be reached for a comment but a close friend has commented sayng that he is delighted with Owen's arrival. Only time will tell if the Englishman has what it takes to fit into plans at the Allianz arena. But at £3.6million for him, it looks to be good business from Todd.

For more facts on Owen or Bayern Munich, have a look around BBC.com/sport.

Thanks.
