What it would be like on here if TF or Beard pulled this stunt? Bundesliga - Fans mock Bayern 'new striker' stunt! Bayern Munich have angered their fans after a media stunt in which they claimed to be unveiling a new striker backfired. The news generated a huge wave of excitement from fans on social networking sites to see which superstar striker had been brought to the Allianz Arena. Fans were able to watch the unveiling on the clubâs Facebook page, but were disappointed when they tuned in. Bayern Munichâs general manager Christian Nerlinger was shown in the video unveiling the new playerâs identity, only for users to see their own Facebook profile picture. The users then saw their own name appear on the back of a Bayern Munich number 8 shirt. "Dear fans, you probably already noticed, that we did not sign a new player," a statement on Bayern Munichâs Facebook page read. "This app is for our fans to show the importance of you for our club.â Within half an hour of the announcement the Bayern Munich explanation had attracted well over 3,000 comments, almost universally negative. "Failed PR campaign, very, very weak," said one commenter, Tim Wiedmann. "You stupid idiots! Iâve sacrificed my lunch break for a bad joke," added Bunyamin Divarci. "Those responsible must feel the consequences." "FCB swallowed a bomb, and it exploded," a commentator called 'der Meister' said. "Nobody will deny that FCB needs a good forward, especially because Petersen hasn't fulfilled his potential to replace Gomez in case of an injury. But what to do now? It would have made sense, if it were true, but is seen as an impertinence and great disappointment by the fans." One fan, going by the name of 'Kevin', went so far as to say he would stop supporting Bayern in protest: "I suppose nobody will care and it won't be a loss for FC Bayern, but if this was really just a joke, they will lose me as a fan and a member."
Good one 999. Full meltdown within minutes would be my guess. Guess they'll just have to settle with Gomez, Ribery, Robben, Muller and Kroos for the time being
Agreed Norway, It makes me wonder who they were expecting? I wouldn't want to be a mod if that happened....or Cerny !
TF is Gianni Paladini in disguise, after all. And a mighty good one! What a veil they threw over everybody's heads! So I understand the Bayern fan's sentiments quite well.
Yappy, you alluded to what I'm going to say - it sounds like the Goons are running Bayern Munich now!!! But please, when it comes to TF et al, give it a rest! You're starting to make me wonder if you're Warnock's tech savvy twin brother!
