Bayern Honorary Chairman Heness recently made a critical speech to sports director Ebert on the TV show Doppelpass. In the view of Bayern former player Basler, Ebert's job is very difficult, and he may resign himself before the season is over.

Heres described Eber as "quite sensitive" in the show and pointed out that the latter needed to learn to spread the work to the shoulders of more people, and these rekindled the already hot discussion about the sports director. Although Heness also mentioned that the argument was originally part of the job, his words seemed to be a criticism to many observers.

Basler made it clear in a sports interview that he could basically understand Heness's attack, but he also expressed sympathy for Eber: "I think that among all the sports directors of Bayern in recent years, Max Eber is in the most difficult situation. He must complete the team's renewal, cut salary, and pay attention to the budget."

Basler also said that Eber was always the one who suffered the consequences in the end: "If a transfer is successful, it is Bayern's credit; if it is not successful, it is Max Eber's responsibility. I feel a little sympathetic to Max. He has also become a plaything for the media."

Even though Basler Le stressed that he himself liked Ebert, but he was not optimistic about Ebert's future at Bayern: "I think Max will resign himself after the end of this season - or perhaps during the winter break."

For a possible successor, Basler mentioned Clescher, who is currently working in Frankfurt: "I believe that Bayern's conversation with Marcus Clescher has been very deep and has reached a very late stage. This is what I have heard, and I will stick to my opinion."

Therefore, Basler's remarks confirm the rumors that have been circulating privately for months: If Ebert's job fails, Clescher is regarded as a potential candidate within Bayern.
