"Herbert Hainer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge stand behind Uli Hoeneß' 'loan only recommendation'. Everyone at FC Bayern knows that a mere recommendation from Uli Hoeneß is practically a law set in stone. For them, the new signing will only be a back-up player, and should not block the path and take minutes away from youth players The sporting management (Eberl, Freund, Kompany), however, is fighting for real reinforcements."
"Last season serves as a warning for them. When Bayern were eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals by Inter, they were missing nine players. That would be a disaster with the current state of the squad. In the second season under Kompany, they want to achieve more than just the league title."
Herbert Hainer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge support Uli Hoeneß's 'loan only' recommendation, meaning potential newcomers are expected to be backup players. Everyone at FC Bayern treats Hoeneß's recommendation as effectively binding. The club intention is that new signings should not block youth progression or take minutes from academy players. Sporting management — Eberl, Freund, Kompany — is pushing for genuine reinforcements to strengthen the squad. Last season's Champions League exit to Inter, caused by nine missing players, serves as a warning about current depth. In Kompany's second season the aim is to achieve more than the domestic title.
