The national record player Lothar Matthäus does not understand the alleged mismanagement in the Bundesliga. “What I don’t understand is how there can be so many clubs that have obviously been able to live from hand to mouth for years, have made few or no reservations and are now almost at the end,” wrote the 59-year-old in his Column of Heaven. “So I see it” with a view to fears of the existence of some clubs in the coronavirus crisis.

“It is clear to me that not everyone has the same prerequisites and that small things often decide about success or failure in football,” wrote the former Bundesliga star. “But those who have been more or less bankrupt for many years, who have accumulated more and more debt more and more rapidly, are, of course, particularly affected now.”

Clubs want to close the season before June 30 if possible

The Bundesliga and 2. Liga clubs want to close the currently interrupted season by June 30 if possible. If this were not possible due to the crown pandemic, several clubs would face serious financial difficulties.

“If society and football survive this great crisis to some degree, which I hope with all my heart, then it should be an example of warning to all that in the future it will definitely try to never spend more than it gets and also regularly from your earnings put a certain part aside for the bad times, “wrote Matthew.
