Schweinsteiger set for Bayern Munich contract renewal
EARTHtimes.org - 2 hours, 35 minutes ago

Background:

Along with his friend and colleague Lukas Podolski midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is thought to possibly leave his current employer Bayern Munich. Allegedly he established contacts with Real Madrid. Several top class European football clubs also seem to be interested, Juventus Turin and AC Milan being two of them. Although Schweinsteiger enjoys living in Munich it will probably cost Bayern a lot to keep him. When will he leave?

@horatiomonty - can you explain the difference between not leaving this season, and leaving after this season?

Is it that with the second he has announced his intention to leave during the season even though he does not leave until the end?

@tisha: you're perfetly right, that is confusing.
What I meant for the first option is: "He will not leave AFTER this season" and maybe this should better be "He will not leave during the next summer break". The second option would then be "He will leave during summer break".
I moreover learnt now that the next season will start on 7th August 2009, so should he leave after the end of the current season but before that date, this should settle as "He will leave during summer break". Suspend date should therefore also be amended to August 7th 2009.
so 4 options:
Leave before winter break
Leave during winter break
Leave during rest of the season until 7th August 2009.
Not left by 7th August 2009.
Sorry for the confusion. Any chance of amending this?

@horatiomonty Sure - I've changed the wording of the option text.

@predictors - Let me know if this significantly changes your predictions.
