In his new book 'Echte Liebe' the BVB chief claims he would not embarrass the club by asking for money from their fiercest rivals
Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has revealed he never asked Bayern Munich for money during the club’s infamous 2005 financial crisis.
BVB were on the brink of bankruptcy 14 years ago and were assisted by funds from their arch rivals, just as they were during a similar situation in 2003.
It had been widely believed that Dortmund contacted the Bavarians for financial help, but Watzke has claimed he never asked for as much as ‘one Euro’ from Bayern.
