Andreas Müller final day

By: Porter | March 9th, 2009

After playing for Schalke from 1988 to 2000 as a player and then taking over managerial duties in 2000, in which they won the DFB Pokal twice before becoming sporting director in 2006, the club have parted ways with Andreas Müller.

I have stated my opinion previously and find it disgusting, if not putrid that Mr. Müller was let go. To let go a man who gives the balance of his adult life to a club is reprehensible to me and given that I have been around many that “bleed” the colours of their club as part of their “heritage/home”, I know what this does to the man. History can’t be bought but it was just thrown away as twenty years of service does not come easy. In a horribly difficult season, where hopes of championships have been lost, the club has just made an extraordinary error in judgment.

    20 years are not replaced and I agree should have been handled differently. Disgusting is the right word to me.

    Could they have moved him to another job, then?

    So you hold your fundamental beliefs so high, that you would rather have incompetent people running your club, because they’ve been there 20 years?

    Good comment Porter and I am with you all the way. I didn’t post my blog reference (not “my style”) but I agree with you and only an idiot would get rid of 20 year man.

    I am sorry I did not comment earlier but I agree completely with you and like what you said “between the lines.”
