According to him, the Bundesliga has already informed the Sports Ministry that the 16 teams want to return to the field. However, the willingness to train does not mean the willingness to really end the season. At the last club conference, nine clubs called for an immediate termination.
Above all, economic reasons were brought to the meeting: “ghost games” are a massive loss for second division clubs because, in contrast to the upper house, television funds were lacking, the manager of Blau-Wei warned. -Linz, Stefan Reiter. Furthermore, clubs would at least partially lose state support through short-term work.
This is exactly where Zirngast connects. “It is not certain that the short-term work will continue in June. If the clubs are not working to do what they are doing, playing soccer, then there is no reason for them to extend the short-term work beyond May” . Zirngast emphasized that there were no guidelines for short-term work beyond May 31, they had to be negotiated with the social partners, including the union.
Also, the question of how to deal with longer-term contracts would arise if the season were deliberately accepted. “If a club doesn’t feel like playing, the player should be able to withdraw from his contract,” said Zirngast. In this case, the kicker would be free of debris.
Currently only Lustenau in training
Most players would support the resumption of the season and would also accept financial losses, as a VdF survey showed. “There are signs that the players are giving up part of their salary so that the championship can continue,” said Zirngast.
The VdF president also asked that the public sector make a contribution. “It would be better if the politicians had funds to continue the season than to pay for short-term work and then unemployment.”
Unlike the twelve Bundesliga teams, only Austria Lustenau can train in small groups in the second division because the Vorarlbergers are in the cup final. Eleven rounds are still pending in the second highest division, according to the current state, the season should end on June 30. “If you can’t start training next week at the latest, it won’t work,” said Zirngast, and in the case of a follow-up, he basically planned to play until the end of July.
