Criticizes “system football”
President Kay Bernstein is reluctant after Hertha BSC has been relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga and does not automatically put direct promotion back on the agenda. “To announce a goal now would be nonsense,” said the person responsible in an interview with the “Deutschlandfunk”. This is only conceivable after the end of the transfer phase.
Bernstein attributes his caution to the numerous challenges that the capital club is currently struggling with: “We have the licensing issue, we have the restructuring issue. We have the economic restructuring issue, we have the squad change.” In particular, the acute financial hurdles could make Hertha falter and endanger the license.

Bernstein said: “The football system is not designed to operate sustainably, but it is always the idea of maximum sporting success on the verge of economic insolvency. And that’s why we’re in need of restructuring, because we’ve been through it so excessively.

“We would have to fundamentally question this system,” demanded Bernstein and put a salary cap up for discussion. He would like the club representatives “not to chase success by hook or by crook”. The following applies to Hertha BSC: “We simply have not managed well in recent years and we have spent more money than we have earned.” With a loss of 75 million euros this year and 90 million euros in the previous year. The 100 million euro injection from the new investor “777 Partners” is intended exclusively for financial restructuring.
Bernstein confident: Hertha BSC receives the license for the 2nd division
Despite all the problems, Bernstein sees the Berliners on the right track to being able to meet all the requirements. “We say we’ll get the license and start in the second division.” In all likelihood, Pál Dárdai will continue to coach there – official confirmation is still pending.
