"Being on the board of FC Bayern is a wonderful and simultaneously challenging job. It's perfectly normal and even necessary that there are different perspectives within a club. We're all working together to achieve the best result for FC Bayern. That means we sometimes have different opinions, and we don't always embrace each other from the start,"
"Karl-Heinz and Uli are part of our supervisory board. We would be remiss if we didn't seek their opinions and engage with them. I think other clubs envy us for their capacity. We have intensive exchanges, especially during transfer periods. Uli has strong opinions, and people can rally behind strong opinions. That's part of what we do; it raises FC Bayern's profile,"
Bayern Munich functions under enormous expectations and constant scrutiny, with intensity considered a governance strength rather than a liability. The board accepts differing perspectives and treats internal disagreement as a necessary element of healthy decision-making. Strong personalities have historically shaped club direction by challenging one another and ultimately aligning on common goals. Longstanding supervisory figures remain actively consulted and provide advisory input, particularly during transfer periods. Intense exchanges and pronounced opinions during those times help guide high-stakes choices on transfers, contracts, and strategic direction while raising the club's public profile.
