Still no official deal, but all sources report it. Heynckes, currently in Bilbao, wants to wait until they clinch the UEFA Cup participation and then announce to leave. In Schalke’s embarrassing search for a new coach, Heynckes already was a topic weeks ago, but in the first negotiations Schalke refused the signature as Heynckes wanted five coaches – including goalie coach Walter Junghans, who is everything but popular in Schalke.

Haha, now isnt that something!! Now Ill definitely have to go to the Schalke-Frankfurt game next season, that'll be one friendly athmosphere.... You forgot to mention one thing: Clubs destroied, brought from championship candidate to second league and forced to nearly collapse: 1 But Frankfurt's coming home!! Were not going down that easy! We have a drink that gives us strenght to stand through all that - - Äppler!!!!
The question concerning Heynkes and Schalke is, which player he will fire first ? - Mpenza ? - Agali ? - Boehme ? - Rost ? - Varela ? Let's start a bet !
Aeppler is back. The only one missing now is Hessebub--the other intelligent Frankfurt fan (trust me, I grew up in Eintracht country , (Offenbach forever ) surely must have made me a Bayern fan). Nonetheless, Ebblewoi, the drink of champions.
LOL, good to know that there are at least some "intelligent" people in this board! Sure saved my day!!! I mean if you admitt sympathies to Bayern and the german semi-champion of 59 in one single sentence, you'd have to be a smart one!!! Great response though dude! Nice job on that! And so much on topic.... :-/ I'd say Mpenza and Agali! Schalkes luck might be though that they dont really have players that are stars enough to fire 'em...
