Gary Bernard releases statement on 1860 website

I would like to thank the fans for being patent over the course of the season where we have had a few sticky patches especially after the mid season break. Even though we have had these problems the fans have always shown up to the games and cheered there team on until the end.

I will now say that in March we have played some great football and have been helped out by Frankfurt's dip in form. We are now five points clear in the league and I can now say that I do firmly believe we will be a Bundesliga club next season.

After the season is finished and if we do in fact get promoted there will be a change around at the club as we build a team that are good enough to not only stay in the Bundesliga but also a team that can challenge in the years to come.

So I would again like to thank the fans and the players for never losing hope and always showing up and giving 100%.

1860 Munch back in the big time

1860 Munich were promoted today as they secured a point against Karlsruhe with a Aigner goal early in the first half. 1860 Munich have not won the league at this stage as there is still four games left and they are only three points ahead but no matter what happens 1860 Munich will play there football at Germany's highest level next season.

There were celebrations after the game in Karlsruhe's stadium and also a gathering at the Alliance Arena later on in the night to celebrate 1860 Munich being back in the top league for the first time in seven years.

Bernard is being touted as the mastermind behind 1860's promotion but Bernard being modest has told the press,

"The players are the ones who have earned this. I stand at the touch line they have scored the goals and blocked the shots throughout the season to achieve this. Well done to the boys again."

1860 Munich 0 FSV Frankfurt 0

1860 Munich again slipped up in the race for the title and they now only hold a one point advantage with three games still let to play. Frankfurt played the better football and the already promoted 1860 were lucky to get a point in a match where they played extremely poor throughout.

Interview with Gary Bernard

Reporter - Well done on winning the second division title, was it even in doubt for you?
Bernard - We knew it would be difficult but quietly we were confident we had what it takes and we did.

Reporter - So its Bundesliga life for you and 1860 now can you stay up?
Bernard - Of course we can stay up. We are not there to make up the numbers we want to compete.

Reporter - You won manager of the year this season do you feel you deserved it?
Bernard - That's not for me to answer. The players all deserve awards more than I deserved it.

Reporter - Lastly can we expect big things in the transfer market from you now?
Bernard - We will talk to the board and see what happens but I would hope so.

Congratulations on promotion, would like to see you continue your story and see if you survive the top division ;)
 
Just read through all the five pages so far and I have to say-that was impressive! :) Best of luck in the Bundesliga. With good tactics and signings-I'm sure you'll stay up and probably even finish mid-table.
 
Bernard "Its not enough"

1860 Munich manager Gary Bernard has today told the board that the £950,000 transfer budget and the £155,000 wage budget is no where near enough to strengthen the squad ahead of there return to Bundesliga. 1860 Munich already spend over there wage budget and will have to sell a few players to try and bring some in over the pre-season.

Bernard signs new five year deal

1860 Munich have awarded manager Gary Bernard with a five year deal worth £12,000 a week after he guided his team to promotion last season. The young manager only had twelve months remaining and both parties wanted to ensure the club remained stable as they try to adapt to Bundesliga life and they both felt tying down Bernard was the best way to do that.

1860 sign James

Matt James has joined 1860 Munich on a free transfer after his Man Utd contract expired in the summer. The young midfielder played 28 games last season while on loan at Preston and Leyton Orient scoring three goals in that time. The youngster has joined 1860 at a time when they are adapting to a new league so it will be interesting to see where he fits in with his new team.

Grant Hanley arrives on loan

Hanley is said to be happy at joining his new club even if it is only for the short term.

Not too convinced with Bebe really. Try getting some experienced players on loan or for free. They'll do a real good job
 
Well done. I support both munichs and i cant wait to see what you do with this team
 
Actually i support every german team. I dont get rivalries in the same country.

Struggling for wages mate it going to be a tough first season but hopefully if I stay up I get more funds... Club has no money..
 
Udinese 3 1860 Munich 0

1860 Munich got there pre-season off to the worst possible start as they were thrashed by Udinese in there first game of the tour. 1860 have found it difficult to bring in the players they wanted for the season ahead and will have to improve massively if they are to stay in the Bundesliga this season.

Sampdoria 4 1860 Munich 0

1860 Munich were destroyed by Sampdoria today as there already disastrous tour of Italy took a turn for the worse. 1860 were hoping to get back on track after a disappointing defeat in game one but they didn't turn up for this one either and now Bernard has alot of thinking to do ahead of the Bundesliga season.

Genoa 1 1860 Munich 0

Genoa and 1860 Munich played out a poor match today but it was one that the Italians won to end Munich's tour with them having lost all three games and scored no goals. 1860 Munich were better today then they had been but they still failed to find the net and also were on the back-foot for most of the match.

Bernard talks to press

Reporter - So the tour is over and in all honesty it was a poor week for your team would you say?
Bernard - Yes we were poor but the last game was a slight improvement so I am still optimistic we will be ready for the new season.

Reporter - Will there be any new players coming in before the season starts?
Bernard - I hope so but there is no funds available so unless we sell then most likely no.

Reporter - So you are looking to sell players, are there any players that you are actively trying to sell?
Bernard - No that's the problem we are wanting to add players not get rid of them. But every players has there price and if the right offer is made then anyone can leave.

Reporter - What about loan signings?
Bernard - We have absolutely no wage budget to get loan signings. I have been trying.

Reporter - Lastly can you keep 1860 Munich in the Bundesliga?
Bernard - What a stupid question would I be here otherwise? Bye
