Manager Klaus Allofs arrived at the training camp in Donaueschingen Monday morning and naturally was a much desired interview partner. He answered some questions to the current situation. 


Klaus Allofs about the core of the alleged conflict: "The position of the advisory board is comprehensible. If I as manager only had to consider the economic conditions than I would also say let's wisely not spend any more money. But the coach also has good arguments. That is the point about which we have to find a solution."

About the different options of clearing up this question: "There are different possibilities in question. We find ways to generate new money. We come to an agreement that we will use our means to take on a manageable risk or we come to the conclusion to wait and see how our injured players progress. In the end we will do what is good for Werder."

Would a transfer of Sokratis Papastathopoulos solve all problems in the defence: "This defender is a young professional who is highly regarded everywhere. But of course he would initially be a new acquisition who would have the same problems that all new players have. We see things realistically and I am not worried that our fans don't see things that way too."
How long can the transfer be dragged out: "We have a clear signal from the player that he would like to transfer to Werder. But it's also clear that we have to live with the fact that other clubs are interested as well."

To the excessive reporting: "Werder is not poor, but you have that impression if you read the newspapers. Nobody has to be worried that salaries will not be paid. That is nonsense. We have made some transfers and have a squad that is interesting."

About the mood in the team after two weeks of preparations: "I sense a positive prevailing mood within the team. There is motivation again, discipline, a tunnel vision for collective goals. Everyone wants to strengthen the team with their own performance."
