what Bayern need is to get rid of Hitzfeld. Yes I know you people will get angry and insult me and tell me about his great record BUT HIS CYCLE AT THE CLUB IS OVER! you have to understand what a "cycle" is. He did great, won it all with bayern but now the team plays from bad to worse. This means that bayern need a new motivator, a new coach and that Hitzfeld's cycle is over. when your cycle is over nothing you do will help you recover the victories of the past. Sometimes is better to leave.
They are still alive in Europe ... and close in the Bundesliga. I agree with you thou. Cycles come to an end for the better.
