FC Bayern – JHV cancellation: FCB boss Kahn admits errors

Bayern board member Oliver Kahn regretted the cancellation of the annual general meeting at the end of November and at the same time admitted mistakes.

“Afterwards you are always smarter. Certainly you could have done one thing or the other differently,” said Kahn on the sidelines of Bayern’s 4-0 win against VfL Wolfsburg Sat 1.

An application initiated by Bayern member Michael Ott about the continuation of the controversial Qatar sponsorship had already caused a stir in the run-up to the event at the end of November. After some heated discussions on the subject, the AGM in the Audi Dome was canceled prematurely, which led to even greater chaos.

“The omens were not that easy,” explained Kahn. “There were very few members who were ever there at a general meeting. There were a lot of things that had already led to tension beforehand. It can then happen that something like this slips away.”

FC Bayern: Kahn announced talks with fans

According to Kahn, FC Bayern was not unprepared. “We knew that there are a lot of fans here who are very, very critical of the issue of Qatar. Of course we sat down and reflected,” said the FCB chairman and announced talks with the fans: “We will approach them and try to give more information. “

In general, he regretted that the Qatar issue had overshadowed everything at the annual general meeting. “At the JHV we looked back on the past two years. Among other things, there was a very, very successful year in which we won six or seven titles. In economic terms, we also managed to get through a difficult time. That whole Then it went down under a topic – which rightly interests some of our fans – that was a shame, “said the 52-year-old.
