Three Observations

 1.  Bayern soccer theatrics and Nagelmann (the coach) fired?

First, it appears that the firing was discovered by some insiders and passed to the news media ahead of time.  This has set off a search to find out who in the management staff of the soccer team leaked it.

Second, Nagelsmann already approached now for a new team?  Tottenham, UK....apparently looking at a deal.

Third, this Bayern replacement coach?  Yesterday, someone brought up his long history of being in conflict with management.  Just on how things look....I'd say he has six to twelve months before he's fired.

2.  Draft plan to build a new Ministry of Finance headquarters....in trouble?

Well....the Minister of Finance himself (Lindner, FDP) has said it's a remarkable waste of money, and now trying to cancel the project.

3.  Odd position taken by the Minister of Construction in Germany?

There's a suggested position going on....where the gov't  (SPD-coalition) would hype up the idea of families would get pushed to some degree to relocate to smaller towns instead of the metropolitan urbanized areas (like Hamburg, Koln or Stuttgart). 

The idea is that you'd fund up mass transit and try to sell Germans on small towns being the answer for the affordable housing crisis.
