Horst Heldt, manager of 1. FC Köln, is open to an upper salary limit in football. However, this would have to apply across Europe, otherwise the German Bundesliga would suffer.
Manager Horst Heldt from 1. FC Köln can imagine an upper salary limit in football for the future. “But that would have to be introduced at least across Europe, otherwise it wouldn’t even make sense for German football,” said Heldt to the “Weser-Kurier” and added: “If you only introduced this in Germany, everyone would have to be clear about it Lewandowski will then no longer play at Bayern. And every BVB fan should know that Haaland would not have moved to Dortmund. “
The task force “Future professional football”, which was headed by DFL boss Christian Seifert, has a positive attitude towards Heldt. You can be successful. For this “different perspectives should flow”. The former professional footballer thinks of “fans, politicians, the media or even people who deal with ethics. Sponsors from business are also part of it”. But you should take the time to do it and not just want results in two months because of the corona crisis.
With a view to the upcoming ghost games “everyone will feel how much we miss the spectators in the stands,” said Heldt, who had already played a ghost game with FC in Mönchengladbach before the Corona break. Nobody likes that. “Perhaps it will lead us to respond even more to the needs of the people who come to the stadiums. If you play without spectators, some will only realize how important the fans are in the stadium,” said Heldt.
