Protests - Dreesen: "I understand the fans' concerns"
Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has shown understanding for the protesting fans in the debate about the German Football League's planned entry of investors, but at the same time defended the DFL's decision. "I understand the fans' concerns, but I am sure that the DFL will find a balance between tradition and vision," said Dreesen shortly before Sunday evening's top match against VfB Stuttgart on the streaming service DAZN.
Last Monday, the 36 professional clubs gave the DFL the mandate to enter into concrete negotiations with a strategic marketing partner with the necessary two-thirds majority. Many supporters had shown their displeasure with various actions over the weekend.
"It's important that we explain what we're doing properly. It's not about selling a share, it's about a revenue share in the league's media income, with a maximum of eight percent," said Dreesen. The league had set red lines in the tenders, he added. "I believe that some things have perhaps not yet been communicated sufficiently."
