A lot is possible in theory.

It is not a question of probabilities.

Even after the 0: 3 (0: 1) against Mönchengladbach, Schalke 04 can still make it to relegation.

The gap to possibly saving place in the table is eleven points, but there are still 24 points to be awarded.

Theoretically.

And after Ralf Rangnick's cancellation on Saturday afternoon as the future sports director at the Gelsenkirchen team, the 62-year-old ideal candidate could ultimately take over as the builder of a new Schalke.

At least that is what Jörg Grabosch, member of the Tradition and Future group, believes.

They regret the decision, but “of course still have a small glimmer of hope.

The little word that it is 'currently' not possible for him is in the explanation.

In my opinion there is still a chance. "

And the media entrepreneur sees this in the prerequisites: "Perhaps it is now up to the association and everyone involved to ensure clear structures that make work for Ralf Rangnick possible in the first place." With the election of five supervisory boards, the subject of outsourcing is likely to be discussed.

But Rangnick may also agree in advance.

Jens Buchta, chairman of the control committee, shares Grabosch's optimism: “We will sound out again what is possible and what is not,” he said on “Sky”.

Own goal of the Schalke goalkeeper

In terms of sport, it was not enough to score points even in the home game against Borussia, who had not won nine times.

Lars Stindl benefited from an unsuccessful attempt at clarification by Williams and scored 1-0 (15th minute).

Stefan Lainer increased to 2-0 (63rd), before the opponent helped again.

Schalke's goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow maneuvered the ball behind the line for the final score (72nd).

"We deserved to win and showed the consistency that we lacked in the last few games," said Gladbach's defender Matthias Ginter.

Closing words Grabosch: "For a club that has almost been relegated, it is a great honor when a man who is under discussion for the office of national coach deals with Schalke." Already relegated?

Everything is possible.

Rangnick, relegation.

Theoretically.
