Sportschau also has a post game interview in which Willy Sagnol "kündigt seinen Abschied zur Winterpause an"...literally "announces his departure at the winter break."

I can't play the video at Sportschau's website, but maybe someone else can, so we know exactly what Willy said...

I watched the interview. I am quite in shock. :eek:

After Ismael the second french player who is not satisfied with his situation at Bayern.

Willy: "I want to leave Bayern."

thanks to Gottmar's squad management Sagnol won't be the only one and yes I expected things like this (Sagnol's wish to leave) to happen, I'm only suprised that it is coming this fast

you can add the names of each of our bench players to that list ;)

[BayernWake]

I agree Duncan...and I am interested in learning who you think will leave. But let's all discuss other potential transfers in the rumours thread....

[xevi]

no, no, no, no!!!!!!!!

shit, shit, shit, shit. i can't believe,

but he has contract, i'm really tired of players that want to leave and always are good players. i wouldn't sell him. he has done a lot for bayern but he has contract and he has to respect it.

[xevi]

i prefer keep sagnol, lahm, lell, schweini, schlaudraff, sosa and poldi before than hitzfeld. if he has the blame of this situation, he can leave now. all teams have subs and they don't say every week that they want to leave.

[BayernWake]

Perhaps Willy expected to at least make the bench today...and this is the straw that broke the camel's back...

Uli can't be pleased with him voicing this wish so publicly.

He was on the bench today, but OH didn't bother using them subs expect for Kroos.

he was on the bench for the first time today though he already could have been weeks earlier

[BayernWake]

Ah, my mistake.

There's no doubt why he's pissed then...Ottmar could've easily subbed him in...

[berloha]

You can tell that Willy is sad - when Ribery was celebrating his goal with him, he only managed to smile a bit.

[Duncan Idaho]

sadness won't be the reason, the only potential reasons are

a) playing time
b) more money (when he got a better offer somewhere else)

In case b) the procedure often is to publicy annouce the wish to leave, then to get some problems with the coach, the manager and the team, which will isolate the annoucer for making it easier to push for a sell

[xevi]

hitzfeld shouldn't have any problem giving him playing time. when he recovers i think he is the best. he hasn't can play until today. all will depend of the next games. we have to do all possible to keep lahm and sagnol and get breno.

[BayernWake]

Okay, since his request to leave isn't an "official" team story, and this is bigger than a simple "Team News" story, I figured I'd dedicate a thread to Mr. William Sagnol.

He's been with Bayern since 2000, and has played 175 games for us. I wouldn't say he's a Bayern legend, but more of a Hasan Salihamidzic semi-legend fan favorite.
Is there any chance he'll change his mind? If not, where do you think he'll go?
Joining Brazzo at Juve? Joining Ballack at Chelsea?

Discuss.
