FC Bayern: What a relegation of the U23 would mean for the record champions

The relegation of FC Bayern's U23s to the regional league would be a big step backwards.

A cooperation with a foreign club could cushion the crash.

Munich - There is still one last straw that the amateurs of FC Bayern cling to.

After the 2: 2 in the derby against TSV 1860, the gap to the saving bank is three points.

If there is a remaining game day in the 3rd division, the chances of relegation are extremely low.

Our newspaper explains what relegation to the Regionalliga Bayern would mean for the foundation of the German record champions.

Almost two years ago, the jubilation in the Grünwalder Stadium was huge; after eight years, FC Bayern * had made the return of the Regionalliga to the third-highest division perfect.

The then President Uli Hoeneß said: “It is incredibly important for us that the second team is now back in the third division because the leap to the professionals is no longer that big.

This is an important step for the boys' development. "

FC Bayern II: Relegation to the regional league would be a step backwards

Accordingly, the fall into the regional league would be a clear step backwards for the club. Promising talents like Christopher Scott, Armindo Sieb or Torben Rhein (all 18) were able to get used to the physically demanding adult football in the 3rd division against some very experienced kickers. It is at least questionable whether these players would also receive adequate support one floor below. 

This is probably one of the reasons why the people of Munich thought about a cooperation with the Austrian first division club SKN St. Pölten.

According to information from our newspaper, cooperation was a realistic scenario.

It is still unclear whether the Lower Austrians will remain in Austria's top division.

As the bottom of the table, the club must go into relegation.

That doesn't seem to bother VfL Wolfsburg: A week ago the Wolves decided to cooperate with St. Pölten.

The door is closed for Bavaria.

Is FC Bayern looking for a cooperation partner in Austria?

Austrian football has gained a lot of reputation.

Bayern's campus director Jochen Sauer also appreciates the league because of his past at RB Salzburg (2012 to 2017).

He likes the fact that there are no U19s in Austria, but that the young players move up to the men's area after the U18s.

Bayern newcomer Dayot Upamecano * once benefited from this (for 42.5 million euros from RB Leipzig *).

The defender played numerous games in Salzburg at the age of 18.

It cannot be ruled out that the Bavarians will look for another cooperation partner in Austria.

With Taylor Booth (19, St. Pölten) and Alex Timossi Andersson (20, Austria Klagenfurt), two FCB talents are currently playing on loan in the neighboring country.
