"Anyone who has been around Bayern Munich and/or German football for quite some time is fully aware that former Bayern president Uli Hoeneß is never one to shy away from speaking what is truly on his mind. His unfiltered, bold nature when speaking to the press has been known to cause unrest in and around the club, both while he had an official seat in the club's front office,"
"In his recent appearance on SPORT1-Dopplepass last weekend, Hoeneß stoked the fires when he spoke about a number of topics at both Bayern and the German national team. He made brazen comments about Nicolas Jackson's buy-on clause terms for his loan deal from Chelsea, Nick Woltemade being worth nowhere near his price tag, how Bayern handled the summer transfer window, and the state of the German national team after the most recent international break."
Uli Hoeneß criticized several Bayern and Germany topics, including Nicolas Jackson's buy-on clause, Nick Woltemade's valuation, Bayern's summer transfer handling, and the national team's form. He took a jab at Lothar Matthäus after meeting briefly and suggested Matthäus "hasn't gone back to his senses yet." Matthäus responded publicly, suggesting Hoeneß's passive-aggressiveness stems from regrets about his time as acting president. Hoeneß remains honorary president and is still consulted by Bayern's executive and supervisory boards. The exchange intensified scrutiny of internal opinions within Bayern and the German football community.
