These are stromy times for Borussia Dortmund supporters. 3 days before Christmas Sueddeutsche Zeitung published an article that led to a uproar. As BVB crashed out of the Champions League and UEFA Cup they miss out on the big money and will make a loss this season (fiscial year). The officials are planning a loan deal that could have a volume of up to 100 Mio. Euro.
At the moment the German medias are hitting out on Borussia and everyday new rumours, figures and accusations appear. Only the management knows what is fact and what is just BS.
But Uli Hesse-Lichenberger is a long-time BVB supporter and is on the Südtribüne (south stand) for more than 25 years. He writes for German daily newspapers "taz" and "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" and for English papers and magazines "When Saturday Comes", "FourFourTwo", "Guardian" and "Sunday Times". He has the mind of a BVB expert and the heart of a BVB supporter. I really like his articles.
Back to the topic:
BVB have to make sure that they reduce their wage bill for next season and maybe they have to sell 1 or 2 of their star players (Rosicky, Koller, Dede are mentioned by the medias).
But at all let's wait and see what will happen. The first target should be to secure at least 5th place in Bundesliga. That is vital to the club.
