Hello.
I recently remembered the FM. I found an old Game of mine, which I continued in the nearer past.
First of alle, I apologize for my english. Since I am from Germany and Bayern München is my favourite club, I started the game about 2 years ago. In between there were some major breaks. I am now in the year 2009. I started in season 2004/05.
I hope you find the story interesting.
I try to summarize the first years in short (as much as it is possible). The current season will be more detailed.
Please do not hesitate to comment on decisions I made or on the style, I write this diary.
During the first season new Bayern Manager Patrick Schulz tried out a few things. Because of some changes Bayern had a few problems to adjust to the new coaches style.
Nevertheless at the end of the year, Bayern München won the Championship in Germany with 76pts and 99:32 goals. Of 34 games, Munich won 23 and lost 4 times. 9 points behind Schalke. Places 3-6 were Dortmund, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg und Bremen. Relegated to the second divison were Bochum, Bielefeld and Mönchengladbach. New teams in the first division are Essen, Cottbus and Aachen.
Bayern München also succeeded in the German DFB Cup. After defeating Saarbrücken, Mainz, Hertha BSC Berlin, Dortmund and Wolfsburg, the final was won against Stuttgart with a 3:1.
Less luck Bayern had in the Champions League, where the Team of Inter Mailand proved to be too strong. Munich won the groupstage against Inter, Celtic and WIT Georgia, survived the 2nd round and the quarter final against Kobenhavn and Arsenal, but were beaten 2:5 on aggregate against Inter in the semi final.

Relegated were Aachen, Rostock an Essen. They were replaced by Mönchengladbach, Bielefeld and Burghausen.
After defeating Kornharpen, Trier, Frankfurt, Saarbrücken and Duisburg Bayern München met 1. FC Köln in the final of the German Cup. Köln disappointing in the second division did the big surprise. After a single chance, Lukas Podolski made the only goal of the match and stole the Cup from München.
In the Champions League Bayern did better. During the group stage they beat Inter, Bukarest and Olympiakos. Afterwards they eliminated Valencia, Athletico Madrid and Manchester United. The big final against Real Madrid was a big victory for the german champions. With goals from Salihamidzic and Klimowicz, they won in style and became Champions League Winner. What a success for the club!
Roy Makaay became Scorer of the year in Germany by scoring impressing 30 times. Klimowicz came in second (20 goals).

The following World Cup had a few surprising results to offer. France, Spain, Portugal and England lost already in the group stage. The big surprise was the team of Australia, who lost the Match for the third place against Germany with 2:4.
In the end, Brasil defended the world cup by beating Italy in the final with a smart 1:0 victory, celebrating their 6th World Cup
Remarkable: Bastian Schweinsteiger was the best scorer during the World Cup. Scoring 4 times was enough to win this award.
Another new player for Patrick Schulz` team: Bayern München bound young irish Wonderkid Paul Daly to the club. The midfielder joins the Munich club in december.
As another big surprise, Jürgen Klinsmann was fired as Germany coach. His successor is Patrick Schulz. The young coach from Bayern München will try to combine both jobs. Of course this means, that a few players of Bayern will have a place in Germanys national team.
First job for Germanys new manager is to qualify for the European Championship in Austria/Switzerland in 2008. Germanys qualifying group consists of:
Russia, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Directly before the start of the season 2006/07, Bayern München spent a few more millions for their roster. Kölns young striker Lukas Podolski joined the club from Munich. Köln received € 9.75 Mio.
End of August Bayern München beat Newcastle for the European Supercup. München won 5:3 by penalty shootout.
During the season Bayern München was very active on the transfer market. And their moves were very spectacular. They sold Christian Chivu to Betis Sevilla for € 22.5 Mio.
Furthermore they agreed to a player exchange deal with Arsenal. Roque Santa Cruz left Germany. Santa Cruz + € 5 Mio were used to get Cesc Fabregas from the Gunners. The young midfielder is a man for the future, while Bayern has so many strikers that they should easily handle the new situation in the offense. And a new club record achieved Bastian Schweinsteiger. He left München because of a € 59 Mio!!! offer from Deportivo La Coruna. Patrick Schulz said that an offer like this is not negotiable. We did not have any doubt about this one.
In the middle of the season Bayern also competed in the Club-World Cup. Tweo easy wins agsinst Northern Spirit (2:0) and Orlando Pirates (4:0) and the german Champion earned € 7.5 Mio for taking part in this tournament.
