FC Schalke 04 must now say goodbye with dignity



[ad_1]

If you think the lowest point has been reached at Schalke, the crisis club is coming with the next hammer just around the corner!

Over the course of Sunday, S04 confirmed an exclusive SPORT1-Message that all sports leadership will be exchanged.

The supervisory board has watched enough: now he is acting and, in addition to coach Christian Gross, who was only 63 days in office, also sports director Jochen Schneider, licensed player director Sascha Riether, head of fitness Werner Leuthard and assistant coach Rainer Widmayer. the door. The personnel earthquake in Schalke is severe, but correct.

Finally, the control committee, which certainly lacks the necessary sports competence, makes a decision. I should have done it much earlier.

In early February, the council announced Schneider’s untimely end for the summer and turned the sports board into a “lame duck” unable to act. Why wasn’t the hard cut made at that time?

Morality and decency at Schalke? Nothing!

The descent to the second division is almost certain in position 18 and only nine points. How is it that this anemic team, which was only able to win one of the 39 (!) Games throughout the seasons, plan to score seven or eight victories? (The Bundesliga table)

The characterless team without a leader rehearsed the lift from behind during the week and demanded the replacement of Coach Gross. Moral? Decency? Nothing!

Schalke is a pile of rubble and it is a ridiculous image. On almost all levels. It is right for the supervisory board to finally act. “Keep it up” was not an option. Now each stone has to be turned and everything must go back to the beginning.

On an interim basis, junior boss Peter Knäbel takes over the sporting fate. It is still questionable who will take over as coach for the rest of the season. (Bundesliga schedule and results)

Even BVB fans feel sorry for Schalke

The downside, however, is that the advice doesn’t seem to have any promising solutions up its sleeve. Where is the sports director of the reconstruction? Who is planning the list for the new beginning? Who will be the coach of the future? Which players are staying? What are they going? What are they coming?

What has been happening at Schalke in the last 14 months, some clubs will not experience for ten years. Hamburger SV, which was once similarly run, joked against it. Even BVB fans feel sorry for Schalke.

The once proud Revierklub now has to say goodbye with dignity and distance from the upper house of football and dedicate himself to the new beginning with all his might, at least that is what the loyal fans deserve.
