Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Yup, there is a new transfer committee at Säbener Straße per Abendzeitung and no transfer will get presented to the supervisory board until there is a consensus by the committee:
Before making any further signings, sporting director Max Eberl is expected to sell players first. This is a decision made by Bayern’s new transfer committee, which has been meeting regularly for some time and decides on every single new signing or departure.
According to information
from the AZ, in addition to Eberl, the committee includes CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, President and Supervisory Board Chairman Herbert Hainer, as well as Supervisory Board members Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Only after the quintet has reached a consensus will the powerful supervisory board be involved; it must approve all investments exceeding 50 million euros. This was the case, among others, with the transfers of Brown and Saibari.
The distinction here is that Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge appear to be involved earlier in the process than they were previously. In a way, this should streamline the internal operations, ensuring that when a deal reaches the supervisory board, it will almost certainly be approved. The roles of Hoeneß and Rummenigge will likely be to vet prospective deals early, so that Eberl and company are only spending time on viable, approved projects.
