” Someone has to go to prison” Uli Hoeneß appears to be completely unaware of the crisis at Bayern Munich

Thomas Tuchel’s actions have caused instability both on and off the field, which is why Bayern Munich is currently in disarray. The 50-year-old is in a difficult situation because the calls for his head are almost at a crescendo and are getting stronger before the crucial game against Bochum. Uli Hoeneß, however, stated that it is not a good look to fire the coach, suggesting that Tuchel won’t quit just yet:

This is generally not a good sign. Because we are a club that wants consistency, that wants stability. Whenever we worked with a coach for a long time, it was always good: with Pep Guardiola, with Jupp Heynckes, with Ottmar Hitzfeld, with Udo Lattek. We don’t have this consistency, this stability at the moment.

The former striker also pointed out that people are quick to write off a season well before anything has been decided yet but with how Tuchel is running riot, the reactionary behavior of the fans are the tiniest bit justified. “On the other hand, the demands have become much higher. I can still remember in the past when we became German champions, everyone was in each other’s arms. Today everyone says that if we haven’t won the title at Easter, it’s a season to forget.

Uli went on, “I also believe that some people exaggerate the fact that FC Bayern must always make it to the Champions League semifinals.” “After having to wait 25 years to win the Champions League, we were the happiest people in 2001.” And whomever writes that also fails to mention that we are the only major European club that has accomplished everything on our own. We lacked an oil billionaire, an oligarch, or a benefactor.

Well, Bayern is one of the top three (traditional) clubs in the world and is a permanent candidate to win the Champions League but has failed to reach the semifinals in the past three seasons. The last time they got that far was the 2019/20 season where they won the whole thing. Bayern have good players but individual brilliance can only take you so far.

Whether or not Hoeneß is oblivious to the shortcomings of the team is not confirmed yet, but someone has to go to prison for how the team is not the juggernaut that they’re meant to be.
