At a recently held Supervisory Board meeting, Bayern’s management discussed the future of Max Eberl, but that was not the only topic on the agenda. According to Christian Falk, the well-known Bild journalist and author of the “Bayern Insider” podcast, the executives of the newly crowned German champions once again raised the issue of the famous “50+1” rule and decided that the club will soon launch an official campaign to abolish it. To recap, the rule ensures that registered club members (the fans) retain majority control over clubs; under German regulations, they must own at least 50 percent plus one voting share. That “+1” guarantees majority decision-making power, which discourages investors from putting money into German football.Bayern president Herbert Hainer reiterated in a recent interview that in his opinion, the 50+1 rule in the Bundesliga is outdated. It’s not just Hainer’s opinion. Everyone at the club holds the same view. Bayern want other German clubs to abandon the 50+1..

“I was confident I could have played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision. I’ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years. I wish the players, all the best this summer” said Harry Maguire yesterday. The now former England international couldn’t hide his surprise when Thomas Tuchel’s squad was revealed as he was not on it. The German coach announced his 26 men squad for the World Cup and left out some big names, among them Maguire. And while other players decided to be silent (or save their dignity if you like), Manchester United defender decided to speak out. And what is worse, his mother and wife spoke out too.”Shocked and gutted”: Maguire’s World Cup dream ends in heartbreakWhen Maguire posted this statement, his mother Zoe couldn’t resist replying to her son.“You couldn’t have done anymore. Hold your head high…Disgraceful” she wrote, while Maguire’s brothe..

What was set to be a visit in order to “help support African football development ahead of next year’s tournament” (at least on paper) ended as a big scandal and a ‘sportswashing’ accusation. And in the middle of it is Rio Ferdinand. Former Manchester United defender is among a huge number of former Red Devils’ players who decided to stay in the spotlight after the end of a sporting career. He is, just like Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Paul Scholes (among others) a TV pundit/podcast host/promoter and his latest adventure was in Tanzania. This African country is co-hosting the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) alongside Kenya and Uganda and his visit lasted for three days and he was said to visit the capital city Dodoma via train with Makonda, while he also took a trip to the Tanzanian parliament and the Serengeti National Park.Akiambatana na Waziri wa Habari, Utamaduni, Sanaa na Michezo wa Tanzania Paul Makonda, nahodha wa zamani wa Manchester United na timu ya taifa ya Uingereza, Rio ..
