the former DFB President Reinhard Grindel is flailing these days so much that he can do a almost sorry. Finally, you could argue, is the Give-and-Take of high-ranking soccer official in the world, inherent to the system and Grindel has adapted to this world only. Perhaps Grindel is in the circles, even a light-weight, about the 6000 euros watch to the wrist, the colleagues from Fifa and Uefa could only smile.

One were to follow this line of reasoning from pure human love. But it is not allowed. Apart from its many other errors, Grindel would have allowed this watch from a dodgy official colleagues did not accept. And depending on the situation, he is also in the DFB more than in the Public and even by many of the staff members was known. It’s unseemly for a man who started in a volunteer and the proviso it was to be a voice of the base and, after the summer fairy tale affair more transparency in the Association.

Grindel has made it cozy in the sports official world

Because Grindels behavior so indecent, he should prove now a decency and his posts in Fifa and Uefa at the Latter, he is Chairman of the Compliance Commission – quickly give up. Grindel be remunerated Offices with just a few meetings a year with around 500,000 euros. That is, even without misconduct by an outrageously high sum. You will not be paid by the associations, so that the officials are rebellious, if, for example, a world Cup is awarded to Qatar and all of this is done to even the last dime from professional football to squeeze.
