FFor Hans-Joachim Watzke it was a setback in a week that was actually intended for anticipation because of the prospect of the German Championship. “No one should come to us with solidarity issues in the near future,” said a visibly pissed Watzke, who is not only CEO at BVB, but also the spokesman for the executive committee and chairman of the supervisory board of the German Football League (DFL) at the press conference after the failed one Voting on an investor entry into the Bundesliga.
According to Watzke, the big clubs such as FC Bayern and BVB would have given up many rights and money in favor of the smaller clubs in the plan – in order to make the Bundesliga more attractive. But the clubs from the lower half of the league in particular had rejected the plans that Watzke and his colleagues on the presidency had been campaigning for in the past few months and from which the league had hoped for funds of 2 billion euros. There are not even talks with interested parties such as the financial investor CVC, which is already invested in the Spanish league.
