Rummenigga said that players are trapping themselves with salary requirements. - Why are you always harshly speaking about players who complain that they play too much?
- because I think that the players themselves drive themselves into a trap, demanding more and more money. This money, one way or another, the clubs should earn more games, which requires the television market.
But if every year players ask to increase the salary, and the agents ask for money just to talk from time to time, how can clubs can earn money?
- What way out of this do you see?
- I know the owner of Liverpool John Henry very well: he will also invest a lot in American sport and knows before the championship that the season will be profitable in any case. The key point is the salary ceiling.
- where to start?
- all parties should sit down at the negotiating table: UEFA, FIFA, League, Players, Agents. We must negotiate without emotions and look for a solution that will be acceptable to everyone. I came across the Bosman case and other trials and I know that the agents are immediately in a hurry to file a lawsuit. This must be avoided.
- is the discussion already underway?
- I talked with FIFA President Canni Infantino, and he is ready to start a discussion. It is also important for him that everyone is present and be involved in it. If no one removes the leg from the gas pedal, the football will ultimately crash into the wall, ”said Rummenigga, a member of the supervisory board of Bavaria, Karl-Khinz.
