Schalke fans insult new coach Kramer – club calls for fairness – Bundesliga

It has been clear since Tuesday: Frank Kramer is the new Schalke coach.

Apparently not all fans like that. Many followers vented themselves on social media, some with very negative personal comments.

Schalke board member Peter Knäbel has condemned the severe criticism and called on the fans to be fair:

“In my opinion, personal hostilities on the net among club mates are not appropriate. When I look at what we said weeks ago in the Max Eberl case, how we want to deal with each other and what we have allegedly learned through Corona and the time and that you don’t treat people like that, I call on all Schalke players to to treat Schalke the way they would wish to be treated by their club-mates. I think there is a red line there too.”

Eberl resigned in tears from Borussia Mönchengladbach as head of sports at the Bundesliga club at the end of January. He explained his withdrawal for health reasons. Referring to rumors that had come up before, he said at the time: “What’s going to be done in 24 hours, what’s being said and speculated, that’s what makes me sick.”

Schalke sports director Rouven Schröder also commented on the comments against Kramer. “It’s a social issue that people are quick to judge. That 95 percent directly say: “No”.
