The 98th Revierderby was the last for the moment, for at least a year and a half. FC Schalke 04, Pott’s once proud club, will move to the second division at the end of this season.
The 4-0 loss at their own stadium to BVB was something of a knockout blow. The terrible performance proved once again that this bloodless Schalke team deserved relegation!

The farewell tour now has twelve games. Coach Christian Gross, who no longer exudes confidence on the bench, said after the derby: “We believe to the bitter end that it is still possible. We will fight!”
Put an end to the slogans of perseverance!
Even if mathematically there may still be something to him: Does anyone really believe that this team, which has only won one win this season, will win half of its remaining games? How does it work? In the last four games, Schalke have had five shots on target.
At least now it is clear: the focus must be fully focused on the planning of the 2nd division.
No more for Schneider: a step in the right direction
The club had one last week SPORT1-Message confirmed the end of the season for sports director Jochen Schneider. The right step. However, that may only have been the first of many steps. They must follow more, and fast! Above all, the new sports director, who has to find a sports director and coach, must finally come!

TO SPORT1-The supervisory board wants information on the president Dr. Jens Buchta introduces the new strongman in early March. Three candidates are said to have made the short list.
Until then, the transition team consisting of Mike Büskens, Norbert Elgert and Peter Knäbel will take over the planning, Schneider will be there to advise them.
Time flies. Every two days that he enters the country without the new sporting director is a loss for Schalke. The new second division season begins in less than four months. And that has to end in a new direct promotion for Schalke.
