What a long, strange trip it’s been. Bayern Munich somehow won its 11th consecutive Bundesliga championship as Borussia Dortmund suffered through a massive collapse — and somehow that was one of the least crazy stories of the week. Admittedly, Bayern Munich fans have had a lot to process with everything, so what better way to do it than with the Weekend Warm-up Podcast and at Bavarian Football Works. Let’s take a look at what is on tap for this week’s episode: Some thoughts on the title win and the massive fallout that saw CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić get sacked. Who might be coming in: Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović and West Ham defensive midfielder Declan Rice. Who might be headed out: Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Hernandez, Leon Goretzka, and Alphonso Davies. Who is likely coming back (at least for a little while): Marcel Sabitzer. As you can see, there is a lot to cover. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

Well who saw that coming? We were hoping for it, but didn’t expect Bayern Munich to deliver in this manner. When it comes to the league, Borussia Dortmund bottled it at the last minute versus Mainz, basically handing us the title — BUT Bayern still had to get the job done versus Koln and they did. It was a touch and go thing, but thank god (and maybe Brazzo) for Jamal Musiala. Anyway ...In this episode, INNN and Fergus talk about the following: Bayern Munich were completely unconvincing versus Koln and that’s unacceptable. Talking about the ruthless sacking of Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic by Bayern. Could Bayern have an FC Barcelona moment someday? The pros and cons of bringing back Rummenigge and Hoeness. Is it a mistake to not bring in a new sporting director for the summer? Wait, why was Oliver Kahn FORBIDDEN from attending the Koln game? What is going at this club? How is history going to remember Oliver Kahn and Brazzo? A quick aside — would Matthias Sammer come back as sporting director? The deep concern about the names rumored as potential future sporting directors. Dark clouds hovering over the long term future of FC Bayern Munich. Will the sacking of Brazzo spark concerns in players like Kimmich, Musiala, and Alphonso Davies?

Bayern Munich’s season will come to a disappointing end one way or the others and there is a lot to examine. Needing a win over FC Köln, along with a loss or a draw from Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich is in danger of going trophyless for 2022/23. Let’s take a look at the hot topics for this edition of the Weekend Warm-up Podcast: A look at the Lucas Hernandez situation and why Bayern Munich was right to be cautious with the Frenchman despite the potential for outside interest. Can Paris Saint-Germain get a deal done to bring Hernandez back to France? Can a deal for West Ham’s Declan Rice get done? The wild ride of Dušan Vlahović rumors from this week. Why fan frustration is probably at an all-time high for the last decade — and it does not totally have to do with potentially finishing behind Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

What a journey this season has been for Bayern Munich. Here we are, the final Preview Show of the season — and a match that means something, but could end up meaning nothing at all. Borussia Dortmund’s result against Mainz 05 will determine whether or not the Bavarians have any shot of being the league winner. That means that Bayern Munich has to play this match against FC Köln out in the event that BVB coughs up its two-point lead in the league and risk toying with playing youngsters or gambling that recently-injured players are fully healthy. This is what we have on tap for this final 2022/23 edition of the Preview Show: A look at where each team sits in the league table. Some thoughts on how it all got to this point, why change is imminent, and the overall disappointment that things worked out this way at Bayern Munich. An attempt to guess Thomas Tuchel’s lineup and why it could be the last time we see a few players and player combinations working together in a significant way. A prediction on the match.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Bayern Munich have dropped points to RB Leipzig in shameful fashion, handing the lead in the Bundesliga back to Borussia Dortmund. The league title is practically out of reach, which means Bayern are set to go trophyless for the first time since the 2011/12 season, which was over a decade ago. This has has left people feeling shocked and upset, so we ask some important questions about the future of the club. In this episode, INNN and Tom talk about the following: Who deserves the blame for the season going boom? INNN and Tom argue about what percentage of blame each party deserves — the board, Nagelsmann, and Tuchel. What happened to the mentality at Bayern Munich? What transfers should Bayern make next season? Is a striker enough to tip the scales? Why moving Joshua Kimmich to the #8 position wreaks havoc on the squad. What are the two major mistakes that Tuchel MUST NOT repeat next season? Will a new champion change the perception of the Bundesliga within the wider footballing community?
