""Once the anger had gone, I thought to myself: Max, be honest with yourself! If an agent brings me a great player on good terms, and I turn him down because of personal dislike, I'm hurting the club. It's always about the club, not me. Despite all the emotions, I always have to make the most rational decision for the club.""
""When I started in 2008, I had a negotiation after which I resolved never to sit at a table with that agent again. I never wanted to negotiate with him again.""
Uli Hoeneß launched a sharp public attack on football agents, prompting a reaction from a prominent agent. Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said he understands the frustration but will not let personal dislike harm club interests. Eberl recalled a 2008 negotiation that left him determined not to deal with a particular agent, then acknowledged that rejecting a good deal out of spite would hurt the club. Eberl emphasized putting club needs above emotions and making rational choices. Additional Bayern and Germany coverage is available via Bavarian Podcast Works on major podcast platforms.
