Hertha BSC sack Schwarz - Dardai takes over

[Rucksackfranzose]

Nothing to see here. The only surprise with Schwarz being sacked is that it's coming that late and Hertha BSC appointing Dardai isn't something never heard of. Although @Tommy might be happy he's back.

Even though it seems obvious, I didn't even have that option with Dardai on my radar.  But yea, happy to have him back in the business. Quite a character.

I actually think Dardai is a decent guy.  I'd love to have a beer with him... I'm sure he's got a ton of great stories.  

I hope he fails though.

Oh boy... trouble in the Big City:

On Monday, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported that the club are in acute danger of failing their licensing application for next season. Every Bundesliga team have to prove financial viability ahead of the next campaign, but regulators are worried Hertha might lack liquidity. They are due to pay back a €40million bond in the autumn and there are worries that efforts to generate income by selling off the few semi-useful players that were bought during the Windhorst years won’t go far enough. “This is the worst case we’ve ever had,” an unnamed league official involved in the licensing system told Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

And there’s more. The league are reportedly also concerned that Hertha’s new investors, US-based 777 Partners, have been given more rights to determine decisions than German football’s “50+1” system stipulates. The rules allow for investment into Bundesliga sides as long as the majority of voting rights remain with the club. According to Suddeutsche, regulators have expressed doubts about whether the arrangement between Hertha and 777 confers too much power to the Americans.

Only one option.
