Gelsenkirchen. The Corona compulsory break hits FC Schalke 04 hard. Because of the financial threat, the club has to save everywhere in order to remain solvent.

Now the club is taking another drastic step. After the partial waiver of the salaries of the professionals, there are apparently no further payments.

As the “Bild” reports, S04 sports director Jochen Schneider has now negotiated another savings deal with the professionals. When the Bundesliga starts again, the players therefore waive one third of the special bonuses that would normally be paid out if the team achieved certain successes.

The payment of another third is to be postponed so that the club has more money available immediately after the Corona break. The new deal means in concrete terms: Even if Schalke plays a successful remaining season, the club will continue to save and will not slip into insolvency thanks to numerous bonuses.

The new deal is the next drastic step on Schalke’s extreme austerity. The club had previously mutually reduced the salaries of professionals and leading employees. In addition, fans were asked to refrain from reimbursement of ticket prices; sponsors and partners should keep their booked VIP box seats.

Also new is that S04 apparently sits down with the player advisors in order to save further money at this point. As the “Bild” reports, team planner Michael Reschke asked the player representatives for a partial repayment of the consultant’s fees – at least for the month of March.

Schalke is pursuing a consistent austerity course and leaves no stone unturned to make money. (the)
