Munich (dpa) - According to Hanover 96 managing director Martin Kind, there will be ghost games in the soccer Bundesliga well into the new season.
"According to the current assessment, one has to assume that there will be no spectators until the end of December. Thank God we have a relatively stable ownership structure at 96," said the 76-year-old to the news magazine "Focus". The next season will be "dramatic".
Child expects a rethink and thus consequences for football. "Crisis always means an opportunity. That means that you do a self-critical and honest analysis that also tells you what went wrong," said the creator of the Lower Saxony second division soccer team.
The time of extremely high transfer fees for the professionals was over. "No Bundesliga club will be able to cope with this anymore," emphasized Kind. "That is also why we need completely new rules of the game. We now have the chance to do so, and I hope that we have the strength, the will and the reason to use them."
