Yeah, Lewandowski seems pretty clued up.
Besides all the talk about identity, etc, if Bayern's board refuse to pay market price for the best players, it won't matter who they bring in as manager. They'll just stop being competitive at the top top level. A €40m transfer record in 2017 just isn't realistic for a team with their ambitions.
Also, on the players respecting Heynckes, I imagine the majority of them there now never even played under him. And if those that did, found it hard respecting two of the most successful managers in the history of the game, then that says more about their own arrogance than anything else.
