Bayern Munich club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has to the Bundeskartellamt in Bonn apparently possibilities for a different allocation of television rights of the Bundesliga plumbed.
According to information of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” the 60-year-old has thereby promoted a more independent marketing of television rights by the clubs. “It was discussed what for Bayern is possible,” it said.
The visit took place three weeks ago. The Cartel Office informed this with: “In the course of testing and discussions with individual market participants are out.”
TV central marketing will probably remain
The competition authorities deal currently with the procurement procedures of television rights on the Bundesliga. There is a case for the authority, because the teams awarded on the German Football League (DFL) the rights in common, bypassing the competition, thus consolidated in a central marketing. Therefore, an examination is necessary.
Poll: Should the small clubs collect more TV money
Rummenigge have not demanded in his interview in the cartel, according to "SZ" the abolition of the existing central marketing, it was talked about but the current legal situation. Conceivable are about more freedoms in the marketing outside Germany or on the Internet.
Bayern could quadruple revenue
The current four-year contract worth a total of 2.5 billion euros end 2017. In this Season distributes the DFL from the central market a total of 850 million euros, 170 million of them (20 per cent) will go to the 2nd league.
The Bayern currently receive annually more than 50 million euros from the sale of television rights and thus much less than, say, British or Spanish top clubs. Would the Munich market alone their TV rights, up to 200 million euros could after their information is saved, so four times.
The excitement among the clubs regarding future TV marketing is currently already high: Just recently Andreas Rettig, Managing Director of the Hamburg-based club FC St. Pauli, proposed to exclude some clubs on the distribution of television money
Rummenigge explains. "Too much Solidarity "
Rummenigge had the request of Hamburg welcomed the decentralization of TV marketing in German professional football, but also the most attacked by the second division" supports business clubs ". "I'm in the spirit at the club that there now fight back to right: Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Hannover and Hoffenheim. And I believe that we will show us a lot of solidarity with those, "Rummenigge had said on Tuesday.
The chairman of the championship record, however, had referred to the discussion initiated by Rettig as "overdue": "I was the last a bit too much for solidarity. It was no longer about the value that represents every club - including Bayern München "
