This surprising personnel decision raises a lot of questions. The former Schalke manager Christian Heidel considers a voluntary farewell of the not undisputed Peters at the Revierclub understandable. “The position of CFO at Schalke is not necessarily subject to amusement tax. Peter has been doing this at Schalke for many, many years now. Maybe at some point the point has come to say that it is enough, ”Heidel said on Saturday in the program“ Wontorra – the football talk ”of the TV channel Sky about the developments at his former club.

The Bundesligasoccer club announced on Friday that 57-year-old Peters had asked to terminate his contract by June 30 after 27 years. “The pressure is immense, one or the other decision has been communicated a bit unhappily in the past few days,” said Heidel, who was manager at Schalke from 2016 to 2019. “I can already imagine that a point has been reached for him at some point to say that it was now, at some point it is enough.”
Dissonances are perfectly normal. “You can’t speculate too much. That would not do Peter Peters justice in any way after 27 years, ”said the 57-year-old.
Most recently Schalke 04 was sharply criticized for the theater for the reimbursement of tickets in the course of the ghost games. It is reasonable to assume that the so-called “hardship case regulation” played a role in Peters personnel. In addition, the working atmosphere between him and his board colleagues Alexander Jobst and Jochen Schneider is said to have suffered recently. (fs with dpa)
