"The financial situation of some clubs is critical, but not hopeless", said Rummenigge in an interview with focus and added: "the clubs have in recent years while their sales can significantly increase further expenditure increased however." "This is the core problem."


Rummenigge however exhibited a good testimony to the German clubs. You are mostly healthy. The "black sheep" were in Spain, search Italy and England. "Clubs, sometimes very successfully playing in the Champions League, make together as many losses as the complete Bundesliga." "For this reason financial fair play will be introduced now", said Rummenigge, Chairman of the European Club Association ECA.


The European Football Union (UEFA) had introduced last new licensing rules for Player salaries and transfer fees are not further explode. From the coming season 2011 / 12, the clubs can no longer spend as they take.
