Herbert Hainer in BamS interview: "It was an incredibly intense year. In terms of football, we were as successful as never before and with many great moments, but also many challenges due to the pandemic. Overall, I think we've been doing well for the past 12 months"
You spoke about a loss in income of €100m last year. Will things get even worse?
Hainer: "The number you mentioned is correct and up to date. The €100m loss is primarily due to the lack of fans income. We will certainly not generate a profit in the current financial year"

Things are even worse for other top clubs. Are Bayern winners of this crisis?
Hainer: "We're leaders in economics even internationally. We have no debts, we own our stadium 100% and the campus is paid off. We are well positioned and will be stable going out of this crisis"

Rummenigge said that the club must keep Müller & Neuer in other roles after their active career.
Hainer: "Integrating successful ex players into the management is one of Bayern's secrets of success. Rummenigge & Hoeneß are best examples. That's also why we got Kahn as successor"

Hainer: "I don't know what Thomas Müller's plans are. Whether he wants to become a successful dressage rider or breeder at some point (laughs). But Müller and Neuer stand for FC Bayern par excellence. I would be happy if both of them were interested."
Which role do you play in the CEO transition from Rummenigge to Kahn?
Hainer: "With my 40 years of professional experience, I can help & advise Kahn. Oliver is looking for my advice too, we sit together and talk about many things. He's very open & inquisitive. I appreciate that"

Hainer on the Covid vaccine: "Personally, I'll get vaccinated immediately when my turn comes. But it's the individual decision of each person. I still believe that the vaccination is the only way to stop this pandemic at the moment"
