Stupid video, whats said in this video is 100% not true 😂 they sold shares years ago to adidas, audi and allianz, 25% the club rules say they only got 5% left to sell thats all. Viessmann wants to buy those 5% but to this day they didn't
First you have to learn, that german clubs are all registered clubs. (eingetragener Verein, short: "e.V.") The catch with an e.V.: They aren't allowed to make profit. That is why Schalke is short on money, but has a lot of property (they are still just an e.V. and didn't outsource their professional team till today). Most clubs outsourced parts of the clubs into corporations. Now comes 50+1 into play. 50+1 isn't about shares, it is about voting power. The e.V. in Borussia Dortmunds case holds only a share of 5.45% of the corporation, but the e.V. still has 50%+1vote voting power.
And RB Leipzig is a whole different thing, because the only members with voting power within the club are all Red Bull employees. So Red Bull holds 100% voting power, while technically operating under the rules of 50+1.
To pull this off, the Bayern Munich members would have to vote to change the clubs statute. Before that happens, the club would pull out of the corporation.
The case of TSV 1860 Munich is a good example of a club pulling out of the corporation.
Stupid Video, Nobody hates on Bayern for that. They still havent sold as much as they could so comparing them to Leipzig is a disgrace.
Bayern has set out in its articles of association that it will not transfer more than 30% of its shares. Currently they hold 75.01 per cent of shares, while Adidas, Audi and Allianz each own 8.33 per cent. Therefore, they can still sell 5 % to Viessmann.

bullshit, what is this embarrassing clowns video, lie after lie. dont believe this trash guys
Bullshit
No one is hating.
Today's football has 'ever been so soulless
München ist blau
100% BS
Garbage content. Get better or gtfo.
insert bro is just typing shit
Bayern sold 5% to Veisman, and only 25% of the club is privately owned and 75% is owned by the club and fans. And they didn't go behind their board, per the owners agreement, the club is able to sell up to 30% of the club to private owners. People online will do anything for clicks.
Honestly speaking, Elon Musk and even Google wanted to buy Bayern, but Bayern rejected it. I was in new york during the world cup and the Bayern office at New York, got such offers, because of the growing market of football and how Bayern is popular in the US as well. Bayern is always committed into being a majority fan owned club which provides great football experience for their fans. They could always sell out to the Americans or Arabs, but choose not to do so.
It's a 50+1 rule… Meaning 51% of the clubs is always owned by the supporters. That leaves 49% equity free to be sold and majority is still with the club supporters. Adidas and Audi own parts of the club as well. 😂
dude hast no clue about bundesliga clubs. no mentioning of wolfsburg and leverlkusen. But yeah, bayern sold his soul 😀 😀
Honestly I don’t care I still love Bayern ❤
total bullcrap
If Bayern tries to sell another percentage of the club, they'll be taken to court
"right now"? You gotta be kidding. They're rightfully being hated for decades. 😅
B U L L S H I T and a lie at that, too.
The facts are true, you're interpretation is 100% wrong.
Youtube should bring back dislike button for videos like this, spreading misinformation
Oh they cooking but the heat bill is going to be very manageable now that we get club discount
They sold just 5% for 250 million. The owners are now 5% Viessmann, 8,33% Audi, 8,33% Adidas, 8,33% Allianz and 70,1% Bayern München itself.
Shit ragebait content 🤡
Completely wrong Bayern own 51% and then allianz adidas and audi oun the other 49%. Get your facts straight
this guy is always spreading misinformation
POWER FOR THE PEOPLE 💪✊
Educate yourself before posting this kind of misinformation. But I guess you don’t care about facts or truth or…
100% incorrect. Like very incorrect.
Fc Bayern München ist einfach abstoßend
Source: trust me bro😂
by the math 30% of the club for €250m???? no way – Bayern is worth way more
Bro , do you think spreading misinformation let you feel good
This is completely misleading, Bayern is still owned 51% by fans and 30% of the club is free to be sold without permission
Das war schon immer eine Fussballfirma und kein Verein,jetzt wirds halt auch für den letzten offensichtlich🤷♂️
In München interessiert sich für die Sportfirma aus der Seitenstrasse eh keiner 🤍💙🦁
