"This comes after prior comments from Hoeneß supporting the abolition of the famous 50+1 rule in the Bundesliga, which states that the members must hold at least 50% plus one vote of the club's shares, to avoid losing total control of the club at hands of private investors (via Kicker): "Sooner or later, the 50+1 rule has to go in Germany," stated Hoeneß."
""First and foremost, they (the Ultras) want to control football themselves. And they haven't even realized that all the clubs where these ultras have the say have become second-rate: Nürnberg, Frankfurt, Schalke. And everywhere where sensible business people run the clubs, they're doing fine. I love the Ultras, I love the fans. But other people have to be in charge.""
Bayern Munich secured three points with two stoppage-time goals to stay atop the Bundesliga. The Südkurve displayed a banner targeting Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeneß. Hoeneß previously said the 50+1 rule should be abolished; the rule requires members to hold at least 50% plus one vote to prevent private-investor control. Hoeneß responded to Ultras criticism by saying Ultras seek control of football and that clubs influenced by ultras have become second-rate, citing Nürnberg, Frankfurt and Schalke. Hoeneß added that clubs run by sensible businesspeople perform well and that others must lead, while expressing affection for Ultras and fans.
