With the club deciding not to extend Thomas Müller's contract, we ask: Is it the right decision or a mistake? Markus and Jan also discuss the communication and power dynamics within Bayern, with Max Eberl having suggested over the last few months that Müller had the final say, while Uli Hoeneß hinted otherwise. To get the inside scoop, Bayern insider and friend of the podcast, Christian Falk gives his say.
We then shift our focus to RB Leipzig, where Marco Rose has been sacked in a move that begs questions about the timing of the announcement. We hear from RB Leipzig insider and former Mainz player Guido Schäfer, who doesn’t hold back in his honest and critical assessment of the club’s managerial/executive choices.
We also discuss Eintracht Frankfurt's fight for a Champions League spot, Borussia Mönchengladbach's outstanding season, and the increasingly heated race to avoid relegation at the bottom of the Bundesliga table.
