Speaking to Sky Sports, the 50-year-old said: "How many titles have they won? Bayern scored more goals without Kane last year than they have now. He also had his price. That's a very high salary and it cost over 100 million. If [Mathys] Tel had played up front, would they necessarily be in a worse position? I don't blame him at all for it being his fault - of course not."
He went on to suggest that Bayern might have been in a similar position on the pitch had they not splashed out on Kane. He said: "But the club sold a lot of jerseys. That was the star purchase. The club would admit that it was a mistake in quotation marks - you can argue about whether it was a mistake. I would definitely ask the question internally: Are you better positioned with 100 million in the bank and him back on the island?"
