Effenberg urges caution from Hoeness and Rummenigge

Football: A Popular Sport - Effenberg urges caution from Hoeness and Rummenigge

Ex-Bayern Munich skipper Stefan Effenberg urges previous decision-makers Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge to tone down their public comments. "They need to understand that they're not aiding the sporting leadership or the club by continuously expressing themselves or meddling in other ways," Effenberg noted in a chat with t-online.

Recently, both Hoeneß, the honorary chief, and Rummenigge, a member of the supervisory committee, have propagated their opinions on ongoing developments. Hoeneß dissected former trainer Thomas Tuchel prior to a Champions League brawl, while Rummenigge slammed the selection of new coach Vincent Kompany.

Hainer's Failure to Assert

As per Effenberg, nobody in the team has the gumption to restrict these two. "Honestly, Herbert Hainer should handle this as president, but he doesn't," remarked the 55-year-old. Recently, previous coach Felix Magath hammered out Hoeneß' clout. "He's in power. Everyone who labors here depends on his acceptance," Magath cited on Sky.

The influence of the former overseer affects the current sports director Max Eberl too. "They make his job challenging. They make everyone's job challenging. They should grasp that," Effenberg decided. The inquiry is why they are still in the picture. "I believe they feel duty-bound to participate in activities like podium discussions due to prior loyalty."

The ideal remedy to the public communications of the pair, as per Effenberg, is sporting accomplishments. "It's not like Uli Hoeneß and Kalle Rummenigge just spontaneously jump in. It's generally due to weak gameplay or results," said the former international. "They've always played the poor cards in the dark and perhaps even chucked one to boost the team. That's operated before."
