"Veltins-Arena" is always filled with fans of the second biggest club in Germany. However, the sports and economic crisis has ruined it.
First, talented players such as Sane, Mejer, Goretzka, Kehrer, Matip left... Then, the resignation of Klemens Tonis, president since 2001, due to the scandal with the conditions of employees in one of his meat companies, in which he had a massive outbreak of the Coronavirus compounded the problems of a club that was leaving Europe.
Other names like Nybel, Kabak, McKenney left... and the team collapsed. The runners-up of the 2018-2019 season, in 2020-2021 fell to Bundesliga 2 with four games to go.
Although they returned to the Bundesliga a season later, their presence in the elite lasted just one year and were relegated to Bundesliga 2 again.
Shalke has only been getting weaker, while the debts have only increased. The situation is very serious. "Miners" are fifteenth, with as many points as Hansa Rostok and Ajntrat Braunshveig, both in the red zone (one in the play-offs and the other in direct relegation).
According to "Sky", if Schalke will fall from Bundesliga 2, it will disappear! The club's debts (nearly 165 million euros) would make it impossible to obtain a license to compete in the Third Category. 119 years of history would be erased with a drop of the pencil.
They will have to start over from amateur football. A blow for a club that has had six managers since its first relegation in 2021 and hopes to bounce back with Mathias Tilmann as CEO.
" The next six months will be vital ," said coach Karel Geraerts. A real drama.
