VVD group leader Klaas Dijkhoff has called on the KNVB and the clubs in professional football to come up with a sound plan of action to deal with the consequences of the corona crisis. “You expect ‘football’ to not only cry that they are going through a hard time, but that they will come up with a plan. If you only indicate that you are suffering 400 million damage without putting down a decent plan, you will be in the back of the line. “
Annoyance
Dijkhoff, season ticket holder of PSV, clearly shows his annoyance at the state of affairs in professional football in his speech on Facebook. “We do see controversy every week about the short term, disagreements about decisions, administrative soap operas and accusations between clubs that the other is not in solidarity. If KNVB and clubs are mainly engaged in fighting for next season, they ignore the problems they are facing stand, “writes the leader of the largest government party.
The KNVB recently appealed to the cabinet for support. Professional football would suffer 300 to 400 million euros from the corona crisis. Dijkhoff believes that it is currently mainly one-way traffic. The government must help, but what are the federations and clubs themselves doing now? Clearly too little in his eyes.
