"“No. I've always seen things a bit differently, but I haven't actively pushed for it. So far, we can still finance our operations from our own resources,” Hoeneß noted (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) before realizing any interviewer's dream by expanding on the topic without any prompting."
"“I see big potential if TV revenues in Germany were higher. Look at the [English] Premier League: Liverpool or Manchester City get €350 million for the domestic TV rights. And even a club like [2024-25 season's 16th placed EPL team] Wolverhampton gets €130 million. We get €80 million. I see potential there, even if I don't know yet how we can change that.”"
"“I believe that if Amazon and the like were to really get involved, that could change. For them, it would be pocket change. Furthermore, I still see room for improvement in marketing, even though we're already among the top three in Europe.”"
Football has become increasingly expensive due to rising transfer fees, wages, and agent costs, requiring clubs to increase revenue. Bayern Munich must also follow the 50+1 rule, with Bayern Munich eV owning at least 51% of the club rather than selling all shares to investors. Bayern Munich eV currently owns 75%, leaving additional shares that could be invested elsewhere. Bayern’s honorary president rejects selling more capital, stating the club can finance operations from its own resources. He argues that German TV revenues are lower than in England and sees potential for growth through greater involvement from major broadcasters and improved marketing.
