Bayern Honorary Chairman Heness criticized sports director Eber, attacked Mattus and made controversial comments on the summer window when he was a guest on SPORT1's program Doppelpass. His old friend, Bayern legend Sep Meyer, said bluntly when accepting SPORT1 that Heness always speaks as he pleases.

- Heness and Mattus had another verbal conflict:

Sep-Meier: "It has almost become a ritual! Heness just talks as he pleases - he always does. I am not surprised this time, everyone knows that when Heness and Mattus face each other, there will be a loud bang, but it won't burn the whole house. To me, this is not a 'conflict, but more like a little Bavarian drama. It's just because it looks bigger in public than it actually is."

"Is Waltermad worth 80 million euros or 100 million euros? In the end, this is determined by the market anyway. But one thing is clear: Heness does not want to belittle Mattus, but just wants to show that such numbers have nothing to do with reason."

- To Henes also said that Matteus had a brain problem:

Sep Meyer: "This is typical Henes! His words are sometimes sharper than necessary, but this is him. And Matteus: He can withstand it, after all, he has been used to it for 25 years. They are like two old opponents in the ring, sometimes this man punches, sometimes that man punches. Think about the saying 'Matus can't even be the field manager of Bayern', which was a big bomb at that time."

"No one can deny Matteus's career, but Henes just sticks to his route: he won't let others come to his table to make a decision. To be honest: Matteus said, someone ran to apologize for Henes at Bayern? I don't believe it. Everyone knows him!"

- How to look at Heines’ critical remarks about Eber:

Sep-Meier: "His work is hell, and you are always under constant firepower in Bayern. Heines is there to criticize him a little, not out of malice, but to make him stronger. It is a real slap for Eber, but no one in Bayern will be treated in velvet gloves - it must be known before taking responsibility here, and it also applies to Eber."

"This is indeed the case, and important issues in Bayern are shared by many people. Bayern is not a two-person business, and there are many strong shoulders here. Uli is right: If someone thinks that everything can be done alone, it will collapse. This is the message - and it is right."

"Eber is more sensitive than Rummeniger? He may take the quarrel more easily. What is important is: we must come out together and work for the club - and Ebert can do this, I am sure. Many people think: Ebert is actually supposed to resign now, but I don't think so. He won't pack up and leave."

"Heres never speaks to humiliate others. He says what he thinks, which sometimes sounds sharper than he originally intended. But he is actually making it clear: Ebert is important and he must take responsibility. It is not so much an attack, but a cavaliers' award ceremony. So he doesn't have to worry about it. "

" There are always conflicts in Bayern - it's as tradition as the Oktoberfest! But that's what makes the club strong. Wherever there is a lot of pressure, there will be a lot of energy. As long as everyone has an upright heart, I don't see the danger. On the contrary: Bayern lives on this friction."

- Heness compared the transfer market to the Monopoly game:

Sep Meyer: "In the past, it may have been possible to introduce big-name players with relatively limited amounts, but today we play completely at another level. The market has changed greatly: transfer fees, salary, broker commissions: These are now at a level that they used to be imagined in the game. And that's exactly what Heness is implying."

"Bayern must gain a foothold in global competition, where clubs from England, Spain or now Arab report numbers far exceed the traditional customs of Sebena Street. Now it is no longer about having the 'Rich Avenue', but about making sure that you can still remain competitive on the board."
