Schalke Board of Directors demand points,
Rutten annoyed
Thursday 20 November 2008
Fred Rutten better start getting
points with Schalke 04 if he wants to keep his job.
That was the rather peculiar message
that Clemens Tönnies, chairman of the Board of
Directors of the club from Gelsenkirchen, sent into
the world this week.
"I expect 10 points from the
last four games before the winter break," said
the influential director.
The remarks didn't go down well
with Schalke manager Fred Rutten.
"This type of remarks are
not very intelligent and it's not good for the club,"
Rutten muttered.
"Have I talked to Tönnies
this? Hell no and I am not going to. This is not part
of my way of communicating."
Rutten is having a difficult start
with his new employer.
Schalke are currently ranked eighth
in the Bundesliga and earlier did not manage to qualify
for the Champions league.
