Martin Kind: “We will definitely start in May”

Hanover – Majority shareholder Martin Kind from Hannover 96 firmly believes that the season in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga will continue in May.

“In May, I think we will definitely start,” said the manager of the second division club to the «NDR Sportclub». Kind emphasized that “football always has a special charisma” and that resumption can be “a signal for the population”. “It starts again. Something starts again, »said the 75-year-old.

Football must not go it alone. “That would lead to criticism again in society, probably not without justification,” said Kind. For now, game operations in the Bundesliga and in the 2nd Bundesliga will be suspended until April 30th.

In addition, the hearing aid entrepreneur warned against completely canceling the season. «Because then there would be an unbelievable number of legal questions that would cause a lot of unrest. And that would not solve the financial problems either, »said Kind. “We should end the season, get the television money, and then the financing of the households should be essentially secured.”
