“Who are ‘the’ fans?”

With the defeats against Kaiserslautern and Magdeburg, the voices of the Walter skeptics became louder and louder. Neither the won city derby nor the backing provided by Boldt could silence them completely. In an interview with “Sky” before the game against Paderborn, Boldt warned against overvaluing these votes. “Are they the ones who get in touch on the internet or are they the people who approach me on the street and say, ‘Mr. Boldt, please do me a favour: Hold on to the trainer.’ They’re the ones who come to the stadium,” said Boldt. For him there is no reason to reconsider Tim Walter’s position.
