They are naturally delighted — who wouldn't be?

— Peter Gauweiler, the Hoeneß family’s lawyer, describing their reaction immediately after the ruling.

I go to bed with the thought of him and wake up with the thought of him.

— Uli Hoeneß, following the Musiala shock, in an interview with Sky

He runs a players' agency, and he is its managing director. He also holds shares. I see this as a problem. The whole thing feels like a ‘friendly takeover’. Klopp and co. have taken over the DFB, and I think that’s wrong.

— Uli Hoeneß, Bayern honorary president, on RTL/Sky

Continuity provides orientation, stability provides strength; both are needed for us to consistently develop FC Bayern at the highest level.

— Herbert Hainer welcomed the decision during the FC Bayern supervisory board meeting regarding the extension of Eberl and Dreesen.

In our world, where there are wars, I have to go to court because someone wants to remove our trees. Everywhere people are talking about climate protection. And we are helping climate protection, and then they want to remove them purely out of spite; I am against that.

— Hoeneß speaking before Munich Regional Court II in Bad Wiessee, in connection with the dispute over two trees planted on his property.

Honestly, I find it shameful. I am ashamed that we in football are talking about such thoughts. FIFA is for me there to accompany this game, to host World Cups. I have the feeling that they only want to profit; it's all about the money. Even me, who lives and breathes football, it disgusts me. It disgusts me.

— Max Eberl, Bayern Munich's sporting director, speaking at the introduction of Nathaniel Brown, the club's new signing
