okay fellow miserablers

Lahm has updated his Facebook (as he does once in a blue moon) and has mentioned this .pdf

Which naturally being in German means nothing whatsoever to me.

Anyone be willing to provide a translation?

upload is here from his official website

My German is more or less good enough to give an abstract of the thing but nowhere near good enough for a real translation.

Hey guys!

Here's the translation. I am german, so english isn't my first language. Hope there aren't too many faults and you understand everything. I tried to translate as verbal as possible.

Had to split it up, so here's part 1 / 2.

Captain, farewell.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TRANSLATING

you're welcome :)

When I heard about his resignation, I did not understand it. But now, after reading some of his statements, I am glad that he found the right time to leave. It's way better than watching him struggeling and then being forced to go.
