Changeover period in summer - two district leagues are in favor, two against
Erding - A lot of understanding, little enthusiasm - this is how the football district league teams have taken note of the decision of the Bavarian Football Association (BFV) to regulate the changeover period. Accordingly, before the continuation of the currently interrupted season, there is a change window within the period from June 30 to August 31 - but on the modalities of the winter change window "to offer the clubs the highest level of protection", as the BFV in one Press release writes. This means that the releasing club must give the player approval. Otherwise, a six-month lock applies.
"I was not surprised that the changeover period was coming. A lot changes in half a year. It is therefore okay that players who move away for professional reasons, for example, can continue to play, ”says Dorfens 2nd department head Bernhard Schöberl. "But I'm wondering what that has to do with the season itself." The TSV vice had found critical words immediately after the BFV decision to continue the season. "The decision to put the season on hold is gradually becoming a farce," says Schöberl.
To what extent the Dorfen squad will change due to this change option, he can not say yet. "The decision is still too fresh for that. We still have the whole month. As of now, however, no player from our first team has contacted me, ”continues Schöberl.
Rupert Lanzinger also has no personal details to report. He will then get an idea when the training starts. "If someone changes their job, we will of course not put a stone in their way," explains FC Moosinning's head of football. The FCM itself has no prospect of new signing.
“Personally, I would have preferred if all change periods were suspended until winter. But I don't know if that would have been legally possible, ”says Lanzinger. This is probably not so easy, especially for contract amateurs: "But I also read about clubs that have canceled all contracts."
Lanzinger expresses understanding for the BFV. “It is also difficult for the association. I've been in football for a long time now, but there has never been anything like it. ”It would have been less complicated, he suspects,“ if we had simply repeated the season. Such a decision would not have had many opponents. "
FC Schwaig, Moosinning's toughest competitor for second place in the Northern District League, faces the BFV. "We accept the decision as it is," emphasizes press spokesman Rainer Hellinger. There is always a pros and cons, but it is probably the most feasible solution “that best reflects the wishes and needs of the clubs. We ourselves are unlikely to be affected by the regulation. ”
Praise comes from relegation-prone FC Finsing. "If you continue the season, the decisions of the BFV were understandable and stringent," said board member Robert Hartmann. “We focus on keeping our squad together. Of course we are always on the lookout for young talent. But the uncertainty about the further course of the season makes the active people insecure. "
