It was probably the last chance for the Würzburger Kickers to catch up with the non-relegation places.

The bottom of the table in the second division absolutely needed a win against 1. FC Nürnberg in order to have a realistic chance of relegation.

But Ralf Santelli's team didn't get beyond a 1-1 draw.

According to the main sponsor, also because referee Tobias Reichel had disadvantaged the team.

The Kickers are generously supported by the online printing company Flyeralarm.

The company made promotion to the second division last summer only possible with its numbers.

Everything indicates that the club will be relegated immediately.

And Flyeralarm boss Thorsten Fischer has identified the culprits - the German Football Association (DFB) and the referees.

Against Nuremberg there was a scene when Nuremberg's defender Lukas Mühl only got yellow and not red after a foul against the broken Ridge Munsi.

"That can only be red," scolded Kickers sports director Sebastian Schuppan afterwards on Sky.

For Fischer this was just one of many wrong decisions against Würzburg in the current season.

“After eleven game-deciding wrong decisions today, I will use this method to verbally terminate all contracts with the DFB in advance - with all serenity and without emotion.

This concerns my complete sponsorship for the national team and the DFB ”, it said in a message from Fischer.

Fischer speaks of "willful wrong decisions"

Among other things, Flyeralarm is the name sponsor of the women's Bundesliga.

According to information from the German Press Agency, it is about sponsorship money of around 4.5 million euros, which the printing company wants to withdraw from DFB projects.

"I have lost faith and hope in equal treatment and serious business conduct," said Fischer.

The Würzburg team often did not convince in terms of play during the season.

In addition, however, Fischer listed eleven actions in the season in which the Lower Franconia were disadvantaged.

"These blatant, I mean, wanton wrong decisions against us, leave me no other choice for us," it said.
