Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Schalke 04 will essentially have to start over as an amateur club.
Regardless, it has been yet another dismal six months for the Royal Blues. A 3-1 defeat away to St. Pauli on matchday seven saw Reis lose his job with Die Königsblauen lying in 16th, and since, under the stewardship of Karel Geraerts, Schalke have only moved up one position, level on points with Eintracht Braunschweig in the final automatic relegation spot.
For Geraerts, the next six months are vital. The second-most supported club in Germany have less than half a season left to save themselves, and the responsibility lies on his shoulders.
The players at the club will have a future beyond this season, but the fans will not be departing, and it will be them who suffer. If Schalke go down, it will undoubtedly be one of the darkest days in German football history.
