Also Borussia Dortmund is severely affected by the corona virus. This obviously causes BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke to take a drastic measure.

The managing director of Borussia Dortmund have been sharply criticized. In a special program of the ARD sports show, Watzke had the topic corona voiced. The criticism of many fans: Watzke would downplay the topic and see the profit of the Bundesliga clubs in the first place. In addition, some fans in Watzke’s statements recognized a lack of solidarity towards the smaller Bundesliga clubs, which are particularly badly hit by the crisis.

Corona: BVB boss Watzke as a pioneer?

Now Watzke could become a pioneer in the Bundesliga in terms of solidarity. As the “kicker” reports, the 60-year-old should forego a third of his salary in the corona crisis. With a monthly fixed salary of almost 160,000 in the 2019 financial year, this would correspond to around 53,000 euros a month, which Watzke would do without. The BVB boss himself did not comment on the topic.

Many complainers among the fans may say that even after waiving such a sum, Watzke really does not have to switch from butter to margarine. But the measure taken by the managing director of Borussia Dortmund would be a strong signal in the corona crisis.

Complete failure of the season?

The season break scenario is becoming more and more likely. Virologists even believe that until the beginning of 2021 not a single game can take place.

Bundesliga before collapse

Should there really be no Bundesliga game in 2020, the Bundesliga would face the end. Even the largest in the industry are likely to experience massive problems. The smaller clubs would probably not be able to cope with such a long break.
