Bayern and Bundesliga fans

I saw an article on ESPN regarding the German netminder debate.

Is it common for people to do what Uli is doing, threatening his FA if they don't make sure his player is the first team keeper?

I'm not a manager, but I'd still go with Neuer at this point, but ter Stegen is world class, and will replace Neuer at some point. But I've never seen a club coach threaten to not let players play for the national team like that.

How closely linked are the national teams and Bundesliga teams? My only comparison is England. I could totally see someone doing this within MLS and the US team setup.
