Never even mentioned Marotta, I never said Schalke should let go of Draxler, and that quote was when I responded to X about having good manners in business. I'm not making Heldt the devil here, from the start I just said that going to the press to "auction" your players is a negotiation tactic that I don't like. If Marotta does that, be sure that I'll be the first to criticize him, because it'll make us look like a cheap club. You could agree and disagree, it's up to you. The discussion revolves around this and not about Marotta and Heldt
personally.
Well we are if we are buying and they are selling. And yes they can survive without us, because we are only one, but if they treat everybody like this, then I doubt others would respect them when doing business.
Wait, when did this turn to a a business ethics course.
