Football Icon Oliver Kahn disputes Negative Sentiment Towards Investors
Superstar goalkeeper Oliver Kahn positions himself among soccer heavyweights like Beckham, Messi, Ronaldo, and Mbappé.
Got a bone to pick with ya, football fans! Oliver Kahn ain't holding back his gripes about the criticism hurled at investors in the sport. As a former Bayern boss and football legend, Kahn believes he could bring a whole heap of expertise to clubs, but somehow, folks just don't seem to get it.
Kahn's been pretty bossy about promoting his potential return to football, and he's been drawing comparisons to big-time names like David Beckham, Ronaldo, and Mbappé. He reckons clubs benefit from a charismatic, well-connected football personality like himself, attracting new fans, potential sponsors, and players, generating a buzz. Especially for smaller, lesser-known clubs eager to establish themselves on the world stage.
Initial Rejection, but a Shrewd Investment
Crisis club Bordeaux initially gave Kahn the cold shoulder, but the ex-pro ain't giving up on the idea of helping clubs climb back up the European top leagues. "I'm all abouteveloping things in the long term", he wrote in his Sports Illustrated Germany column, explaining that he and his partners scout clubs they can professionally support in the long haul.
The Reflexive Aversion to Investors
Kahn remains skeptical about the reflexive aversion towards investors, acknowledging that their poor image ain't unfounded. "It requires a whole lot of special expertise to successfully develop a football club", he stated, reasoning that's why ex-pros are increasingly showing up as owners rather than employees.
