Bayern president slams new Fulham boss


Bayern president Uli Hoeness has come out and has had a go at new Fulham boss Felix Magath. The 60 year old German was named the cottagers’ new manager after the sacking of Dutchman Rene Meulensteen.



The former Bayern boss has a reputation of being a strict disciplinarian and has already changed things at Craven Cottage.



This is what Bayern Munich President Uli Hoeness about Magath,



"He goes well beyond the limits of physical challenges with players,’ said Hoeness. ‘He is pushing players to a ridiculous stage. Well over the edge"



"For him it is natural to squeeze the body of a professional player like a lemon to the final drop. It goes well beyond the stage where it gets unhealthy for the body of a player.



"This can lead to a short revival but in the long term it leads to disaster. Felix Magath has proved that at every club he has been.



"I would never want to treat human beings like he does. I would never want to hurt a player as much as he does."



The West London club are bottom of the Premier League, five points of safety.
