Hoeneß's TV Revelations Deepen Bayern Leadership Rift

Critics say the honorary president exposed contract terms, heightening pressure on sporting director Max Eberl.

Overview

  • Uli Hoeneß used a national talk show to air internal disputes and disclose elements of Nicolas Jackson’s loan, breaking Bayern’s usual confidentiality.
  • He said a €65 million purchase obligation activates only if Jackson starts at least 40 games and claimed the player and his agent covered €3 million of the loan fee.
  • Lothar Matthäus labeled several remarks “peinlich” in his Sky column and questioned why Bayern would publicize Jackson-related conditions.
  • Marcel Reif argued Hoeneß still wields decisive influence at the club and said the public admonition of Eberl weakened the director’s standing.
  • Mario Basler predicted Eberl could resign in winter or after the season and asserted, without confirmation, that talks with Markus Krösche are far advanced, as Jackson’s agent posted a cryptic message interpreted as a response.
