Report: Bayern Munich seeks accountability with new penalty structure

According to a report from Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich is seeking to eliminate all of those pesky little annoyances and disciplinary issues that arose by the re-implementation of a fine structure for locker room offenses.In a somewhat funny description, the list of offending behaviors is being referred to as a "punishment catalog" - which we can assume is a little different than the one that Sears used to send around Christmas time in the 80s:

After many years, a 'punishment catalog' was reintroduced at FC Bayern - a small piece of paper hanging in the dressing room with a list of fines.
