Can Uli Hoeneß afford the “double pass” appearance? – Pro & Contra

The Uli hit one again, he just can’t leave it. Bavaria’s honorary president was broad-legged on Sunday in the Sport1 “Doppelpass”, who celebrated his 30th anniversary. Who else, if not Hoeneß, was the perfect guest for this occasion?

In the show, the 73-year-old did what he is known for: chatting out of the sewing box and tapping sayings. For example, when he compared the acting of the English clubs on the transfer market with Monopoly. “Cover up to Schlossallee, then there is some sheikh and then you can buy,” said Hoeneß. Lacher, applause.

The honorary president also spoke about the failed attempts to oblige Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade, FC Bayern nevertheless chose the actual winner of the transfer phase and revealed that the buying peak with newcomer Nicolas Jackson only applies if the 40 games plays from the start. “He never makes it,” added Hoeneß. Laughed again.

Is that unprofessional, a danger to the house blessing at FC Bayern? Might be. Sports board member Max Eberl and one or the other Bayern supporter may have been sweating a lot during the show. For the neutral fan, however, it is one thing above all: finest entertainment. A change to the smooth ironing football business.

Drama and scandals are simply part of the “FC Hollywood”. When Uli Hoeneß ran out in front of the cameras, it will move back to his best times as a manager of Munich. Honestly: if he had crawled into his house at Tegernsee afterwards and no more mucks, we would miss him. Everyone is happy that there is someone you can get upset about.

Hoeneß-Bashing, which broke out after the broadcast, especially on social media, was as expected as hypocritical. He talked about the head and collar that the appearance was unappealing, Uli Hoeneß had long since exceeded his zenith, it said. What apparently nobody wanted to admit: Hoeneß ‘visit to the “Double Pass” was the highlight of this international break.

Uli Hoeneß did a lot for FC Bayern-this is the prayer mill-like apology, which is always unpacked when the top boss of all Bayern bosses has once again expressed too clearly over his club. The argument is right, Hoeneß did a lot for Bayern and thus also for German football – regardless of whether you like the Munich or not. However, this merit does not justify a appearance like the one in the “double pass”.

For a younger mood from the Munich leadership team, you just had to pursue the boulevard. Hoeneß had publicly prescribed a savings course for his club and sports director Max Eberl also announced that this did not make it easier to work on the transfer market. Desired players like Florian Wirtz or Nick Woltemade went to other teams. In addition, there was a meager that the Supervisory Board was not satisfied with Eberl’s work.

So it was not surprising what Hoeneß said about Eberl on Sunday. That he said it was the surprising.

Now it is the task of a supervisory board to assess employees. To do it in public is a no-go. This applies in football as well as in business. Nobody would want his boss to put himself on the marketplace and trumpet around that there was more in there.

For Eberl, Hoeneß ‘TV appearance was not a blessing. Incidentally, not for Nicolas Jackson. Hoeneß revealed that part of the rental fee that Munich transferred to Chelsea paid out of his own pocket. Nevertheless, he had to listen to being gone again in a year. Motivation and encouragement sounds different.

What should future players think that get an offer from Munich? That even the most intimate contract details are chattered from the top? This weakens the position of Bayern in transfer negotiations. And they are currently not so good in the category anyway.

Uli Hoeneß should take the FCB loan, “Mia San Mia”, to heart and really leave the “Mia” with you. Yes, Hoeneß ‘intermezzo in the “double pass” was entertaining and refreshing. But it was also unprofessional.
