“You don’t have that in a lot of boardrooms, but you only need to look at Bayern Munich as a great example of how to run clubs.
“Bayern is filled with former players, who understand what Bayern Munich are like and they understand the history of the club and what it takes to remain consistent.
“I think that is what great clubs should be about. They should have people who understand the history of the club and we are fortunate that way.”
