Frankfurt / Main (dpa) – The German Football Association is an impending ordeal for now saves
In a four and a half hour special meeting, the Bureau of the World Cup affair. ailing Association agreed on a common line and the dissonance between professionals and amateurs – at least publicly – settled. “We have come to the common opinion that the work-up of the events surrounding the 2006 World Cup has priority,” said League boss and DFB interim president Reinhard Rauball after the summit meeting on Friday in Frankfurt.
The Search for a successor to the retiring DFB President Wolfgang Niersbach will once shelved. There is currently neither a timetable for an extraordinary parliamentary election even for urgent and imperative structural reform. “We agree that it’s not about a head, but the work-up of a very oppressive affair,” said Treasurer and Presidential Candidate Reinhard Grindel.
Therefore Rauball also wants as quickly as possible try to talk with Franz Beckenbauer, has broken his silence with accusations towards DFB tip of the week. In an interview with the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” (weekend edition) complained of the “Emperor” that the DFB interim president Rauball and Rainer Koch a by him in a “personal and strictly confidential” letter offered personal interview about the allegations in connection with the World Cup had refused the award. “What is that? For a level,” said the 70-year-old.
He would “in this discussion are to the best of my knowledge and belief and answer questions.” The honorary president of Bayern Munich but now complained that neither Koch nor Rauball had personally told him up on his offer. “If you so long know each other and then comes no reaction, and you get everything on television told: Yes, where samma because”
Rauball rejected that allegation. He had answered Beckenbauer’s letter on 11 November and sent to his office. “I’ll call the Franz and things dispel” Rauball announced. “. I think and hope we will be together again”
Beckenbauer, the president of the World Cup organizing committee in 2006, is in 2000, according to DFB – before the surcharge to Germany – an agreement with the former FIFA -Vizepräsidenten Jack Warner signed. The DFB had declared on 10 November, in view of the signature of Beckenbauer to go out of a possible bribe. In the week ahead Beckenbauer to dwell again for an interview with the lawyers of the investigating law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
remains unclear even where the ominous 6.7 million euros have been invested, which the DFB to the World Association FIFA dismissed. All these questions will the DFB initially cleared before re-establishes itself.
The professional camp is therefore initially nominate a candidate of their own. “It would not be in the sense of the thing and inconsistent, if we on the one hand only want to wait for the investigation results to the World Cup affair and on the other hand at the same time set up its own candidate,” said Christian Seifert, CEO of the German Football League (DFL).
But the issue is likely to seek the DFB again. Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke can imagine a double tip at least in the medium term. “It was Wolfgang Niersbachs great strength that he has done for the amateur and the professional sector as a parenthesis and united both sides,” he said at “kicker.de”.
If no one from the state find, which can form such a staple for the future, “we should think from my perspective at least for a period of three years on a DFB dual leadership”, Watzke said. “Maybe with Reinhard Grindel and a representative of the League.”
Grindelwald was named on Tuesday unanimously by the 21 national and five regional president for presidential candidates of amateur camp. “I must say that he totally integrity as a person is” Rauball said about Grindelwald. He wants to present the professional clubs on December 2 on the DFL-meeting his ideas.
The premature timing of candidacy had led to a massive upset in the professional camp. After the verbal skirmishes in recent days Grindel was therefore clearly trying to harmony and called a demonstrative cozies made. “They see us here in a very relaxed and joyful togetherness,” said the CDU politician and assured: “. We will make the DFB future proof”
