"After an explosive appearance on SPORT1-Doppelpass, the relationship between Hoeneß and board member for sport Max Eberl appears to be more fragile than ever. While Hoeneß claims to be defending Eberl (in some sense he actually is), the club's elder statesman also inferred that Eberl was being too sensitive about the internal battling that occurred this summer. After a week of publicly airing grievances, Hoeneß indicated that he does not feel any urge or have a reason to meet with Eberl to talk things through."
"At his press conference on Friday, Eberl tried to further diffuse the issue. "Now it's all about football. We've completed a transfer window in which we implemented many things within our guidelines. We did lots of things during the transfer window, reduced the squad, created space for young players, made a net profit and savings in wages. Now it's about football," Eberl said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"In Munich's halls where the banners fly,The kings of red hold court on high,A new man came with a steady hand,To shape the fate of the proud old land. Max Eberl came with a builder's dream,To carve the squad and forge the team,Yet in the shadows, the elder's word,Still cut as sharp as a battle-sword."
Uli Hoeneß and Max Eberl are locked in a public disagreement that has strained their working relationship within Bayern Munich. Hoeneß maintains that his remarks were appropriate and sees no reason to meet with Eberl to resolve the matter. Eberl emphasizes that the club must now focus on football after a transfer window that reduced the squad, created opportunities for young players, generated a net profit, and saved wages. The dispute has attracted public attention and inspired allegorical commentary comparing the power dynamics to a dramatic struggle for influence.
