Applause or whistles for the new boss?
Bayern’s annual general meeting will take place on Thursday (7 p.m.) – and it could be uncomfortable for Oliver Kahn (52).
The stimulus topics: Corona and vaccination chaos as well as the fan anger because of the Qatar sponsorship.
For Kahn it is the first big appearance as the new Bayern boss. In July he took over from Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (66).
The decisive factor for the mood is likely to be how Kahn deals with the fan application to end the Qatar sponsorship.
Member Michael Ott (28) wants to submit a motion to vote on the Qatar sponsorship – the eV should put pressure on the AG if it is successful. Bavaria has not yet allowed the application, an injunction was rejected by the court. At short notice there was another court appointment. Otherwise Ott will certainly try to present the application spontaneously. So far, the bosses have ducked back on the subject, even if President Herbert Hainer (67) says: “As a club, we generally endure controversies.”
It is still unclear whether the application will be approved. If not, it could be even more simmering in the hall …
Due to Corona, a maximum of 1700 visitors are allowed in the Audi Dome (7200 seats). In addition, 2G + applies (vaccinated or recovered and additionally tested). If more came, Bavaria would have a problem – because every member must have the opportunity to vote. Bavaria therefore wrote to the members beforehand and asked about their interest. It is assumed that the capacity is sufficient. Otherwise, the following applies: those who arrive earlier are more likely to come in. Bayern boss Hainer explains the problem: “Basically there are new measures every day that we have to take into account over and over again in the concept.”
Important program item: The bosses will propose an amendment to the statutes. They wanted to “better clarify the values our club stands for, in particular tolerance, respect, cosmopolitanism, social responsibility, role model function,” explains President Herbert Hainer (67).
Are coaches and team coming?
Julian Nagelsmann (34): “If everything goes normally, and that’s what I’m assuming, I’ll go. For me it’s not a side war theater. Basically, it is always a nice experience to face the members. I think it’s always important to have a dialogue. “
Is it getting emotional?
Yes – Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (66) is saying goodbye as a long-time boss and is to be honored by the association.
