Hoeneß: No lasting dominance of English football

Dusseldorf (SID) Bayern Munich President Uli Hoeneß does not believe in long-term dominance of English football despite the huge financial advantage. "What's happening there is that they have a lot more money. That won't last forever," said Hoeneß on Tuesday at the SPOBIS sports business congress in Düsseldorf. The 66-year-old emphasized that he does not believe "that the TV negotiations in England will continue as they are now. If there is no complete revolution with Apple or Google, British Telecom and Sky will no longer offer what they are paying for now. Then go "Start the whole game all over again." The stars of football always played where the most money was. “If it collapses, it will look completely different again,” said Hoeneß. It is doubtful whether English fans will play the game with investors in the long term: "The English have little leisure time other than football." The Bundesliga, said Hoeneß, "has to get better in terms of sport. We have to show the fans that something is happening, including in the youth sector. It's not always possible to just say: We'll get the next guy with a lot of money, and then another one. " Clemens Tönnies, chairman of the supervisory board at Schalke 04, said mockingly: "Dear Uli, I think a lot of that." FC Bayern has signed Schalke international Leon Goretzka from the summer.
