After all the talk in the last days, DFL held the judgement today: Bayern pays 3 M. 2.5 M go to the league, 500 K to a social organisation, most likely some aid for the population in Iraq. My reasons why this judgement is a farce and a scandal: 1. Bayern dictated this judgement to DFL with their behaviour in the last days (first they announced consequences for any punishment; then they rowed back and told to accept a low fine). 2. DFL loses any rest of credibility with this judgement. 3. legally the judgement is bullsh!t: either a contract is null and void or it isn't, but never it is "a bit null and void". DFL punished because of moral faults. We got paragraphs against it, declaring that in case of moral faults a contract has to be null and void. Consequently this means full repayment, but not just a bit. 4. Bayern made 18.5 M profit with a void contract. Even Kirch Media owned sport1.de is writing "Punishment" and "18.5 M Profit Punishment" DFL urgently has to do measures to regain credibility. In my opinions this has to be done: 1. Get all club officials out of all DFL instances. DFL has to be entirely with independent people free of any club interest to administrate the league. 2. There has to be a punishment-catalogue taking all discretionary powers from DFL. When something is violating these rules, the punishment has to be enforced automatically independent of the name of the violator. 3. (independent of this judgement). The meeting that is in analogy to the US League's Board of Owners, has to get rid off the 100% voting system. 100% only works in a dictatorship or in small groups, but never ever in a board with 36 pro teams in different situations. The way it is handled now, it is a mere blocking instance to keep the power for the ones top. This is good for them, but extremely bad for the sports and the league - the system has to be changed to either 2/3, 3/4 or 4/5 majority voting system for changes.
Bayern even complains about it: "The explanation of DFL [said that they saw a moral guilt of FC Bayern and that parts of the contract violate the league statutes and the licensing procedure] is an offense for FC Bayern Munich and not acceptable. From A to Z, from the first to the last word. Especially the insult against Uli Hoeneß. It is the biggest joke, especially he was the one caring for the compromise. By this press release the atmosphere between DFL and Bayern Munich is poisoned", said Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. FC Bayern insists on "neither having violated the statutes nor the licensing procedure. We insist on paying the whole sum to a good purpose; the league won't see a single cent."
In a late breaking report the German Minister of information has decreed that all DFL and Bundesliga has been castrated in an effort to collectively have some balls. What a crock of ***************. This is so frigging weak - where is the docking of points? Where is the 30 Million Euro fine? "We can't offend the great Bayern Munich, without them we would have no jobs, no league, no team, BMW would stop making cars, our national GNP would drop into oblivion and Mr. Beckenbauer would kick my ass". Wusses. I am disgusted by this to no end.
