This week, it wasn’t just Wolfsburg’s poor results that had critics scenting blood, but German tabloid Bild’s leaking of Magath’s extraordinary fine system implemented this season. Some rules were standard old-school discipline (€100 docked for every minute of a player’s lateness to training, €250 for wearing headphones on the team bus) but others were simply beyond the pale; it would cost a defender €500 if he let the ball bounce in front of him before clearing, and €1000 would be deducted from a player for every “unnecessary” backpass. In addition to this, Mandzukic and Patrick Helmes were both reportedly hit with whopping €10,000 penalties for failing to follow tactical instructions in the defeat at Freiburg.

Hate seeing this
not even defenders but no one should ever let a ball bounce on the pitch
was saying to someone other day it would be the first thing i teach the yutes and would stress it non stop

that is harsh...especially when your going 50/50 / battling someone for the ball.
