At the FC Bayern Annual General Meeting (Saturday, 6 p.m., live via fcbayern.com), heated debates about cooperation with the state of Qatar could erupt again. The main critic of the past year, Michael Ott, wants to speak again.
To pictureOtt plans to submit a list of questions to the Presidium. In addition to Qatar sponsorship, other controversial issues such as the 50+1 rule will also be discussed. The list of questions should provide clarity as to whether the positions of the Executive Committee are in line with those of the members.
the picture speculates that some Qatari critics could teach the bosses a lesson if their responses are not satisfactory to supporters. Both President Herbert Hainer and his two Vice Presidents Prof. Dr. Dieter Mayer and Walter Mennekes are standing for re-election on Saturday. There are no opposing candidates.
End Qatar sponsorship or not?
At the last general meeting, the Qatar issue had led to great unrest. Ott had wanted to introduce a motion that would have allowed members to vote on Qatar sponsorship. However, the application, like various comments from the fans, was not approved, whereupon the decision-makers around Oliver Kahn and Herbert Hainer were booed. Uli Hoeneß then spoke of the “worst event I’ve ever experienced at Bayern Munich”.
In order to prevent similar tumult, the people of Munich have already answered another list of questions from the members on their homepage in detail in the run-up to this year’s annual general meeting. The questions were worked out by the “Qatar” exchange group set up by Hainer.
Regardless of all the catalogs and previously formulated answers, the crucial question is whether Bayern will end the sponsorship contract with the state airline Qatar Airways, which expires in 2023, or not. Uli Hoeneß had last in BR for a continuation of the cooperation made strong. Many fans refuse to cooperate due to the precarious human rights situation in the desert state.
