Die neuen Geschäftsführer Andreas Niederberger (62) und Rick Amann (64) starten bei DEL-Absteiger Düsseldorfer EG bei null. „Die Breaking News aus Düsseldorf ist: Aktuell haben wir keinen einzigen Spieler für die kommende Saison unter Vertrag“, sagt Amann. „Das ganze Bild ist weiß. Jetzt fangen wir an zu malen.“
Emotionale Momente: Eisbären widmen ihrem verstorbenen Eder den Titel
Seit Dienstag vergangener Woche steht der bittere Gang in die DEL2 für den achtmaligen Meister fest. Kein einziger Spieler hat dafür einen Vertrag. Nun versuchen die früheren Meisterspieler Niederberger und Amann, eine schlagkräftige Mannschaft auf die Beine zu stellen.
„Wir haben erst seit einer Woche Planungssicherheit, und es ist Anfang Mai, von daher sind viele Wunschspieler vom Markt“, sagt Niederberger. „Aber wir sind überzeugt, dass wir ein gutes Team zusammenstellen werden, das um die Play-offs spielen kann.“
[–>Der sofortige Wiederaufstieg ist kein Muss. „Wir hinterlegen die Lizenzgebühr von 250 000 Euro bei der DEL“, sagt Niederberger. „Das bedeutet aber nicht, dass wir sofort mit aller Macht aufsteigen wollen. Die Rückkehr in die DEL ist ein mittelfristiges Ziel. Wichtig ist, dass wir ein solides Fundament schaffen und keine überteuerten Verträge abschließen.“
In diesen Tagen sprechen Niederberger und Amann nahezu pausenlos mit Spielern und Agenten. „Wir suchen in der DEL, der DEL2 und der Oberliga“, sagt Amann. „Ganz wichtig ist für uns der Charakter. Wie ist der Spieler in der Kabine, wie professionell ist seine Einstellung? Das ist uns wichtiger als ein großer Name.“ Der neue Trainer steht bereits fest: Rich Chernomaz (61), Ex-Meistertrainer von Köln (2002) und Frankfurt (2004).
Der Etat von zuletzt 9,5 Millionen Euro wird deutlich sinken. Dass es überhaupt weitergeht, ist dem Engagement der fünf Gesellschafter und der Stadt Düsseldorf zu verdanken.
„Wir sind überzeugt, dass die Fans uns auch in der 2. Liga treu bleiben“, sagt Niederberger. Kurios: In ihrem Abstiegsjahr erreichte die DEG den höchsten Zuschauerschnitt (9104) ihrer DEL-Geschichte.
Amann: „Wir brauchen eine neue Kultur bei der DEG. Wir wollen professionell, transparent, ehrlich und solide sein. Dann wird die DEG bald wieder da sein, wo sie hingehört.“

Rays star Junior Caminero, still just 22 years old, already has home run history in his sights: ‘Sky’s the limit for the kid’
CLEVELAND — Junior Caminero remembers his first home run.At just 22 years old, the Rays’ third baseman has already asserted himself as one of the premier power hitters at the highest level of the sport. But his generational slugging prowess didn’t manifest overnight.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I was 10 or 11,” Caminero told Yahoo Sports through team interpreter Eddie Rodriguez. “It was a Little League tournament at a park called the Olímpico.”Like many who grew up in the Dominican Republic, Caminero’s dreams of becoming a major-league ballplayer started young. And on this particular day at a ballfield in the heart of the island nation’s capital city, Santo Domingo, one swing sparked a supercharged journey to big-league stardom.The opposing team was from the nearby neighborhood of La Javilla. The pitcher was a lefty. The outfield fences were about 250 feet away from home plate. Caminero […]
Jerry Jones Addresses Micah Parsons Trade: ‘This was by design’
Micah Parsons has officially been traded to the Green Bay Packers, according to multiple reports on Thursday. The move puts an end to the offseason saga between the Cowboys and their premier edge rusher.Over four years in Dallas, Parsons was the definition of consistency, racking up over 12 sacks and 40 tackles each season. He sought a market-setting deal because of his production. The Cowboys, on the other hand, wanted to negotiate the terms and things got messy.Parsons met with Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones during the offseason to reportedly discuss leadership, among other topics. During the conversation, Parsons' contract situation came up, but the defensive end did not feel as if it was a formal discussion. Instead of negotiations continuing, Parsons and his agent, David Mulugheta, didn't receive responses when they contacted the team. Due to that lack of communication and […]
LSU starting safety A.J. Haulcy to miss first half of Clemson game for ejection dating back to 2024
Kevin Jairaj LSU starting safety A.J. Haulcy will miss the first half of Saturday's top 10 clash against Clemson because of an ejection for fighting last season, an NCAA official told CBS Sports.Haulcy, while playing for Houston last season, was ejected late in the fourth quarter of the Cougars' regular-season finale against BYU. While the ejection was initially listed as unsportsmanlike conduct -- which would not come with any additional penalty -- it was later changed after the game to fighting. With that designation comes a required first-half suspension of the next game which just so happens to be in a different season with a different team. LSU coach Brian Kelly said Thursday that LSU wasn't aware of the situation until Wednesday, though an NCAA official told CBS Sports that Houston's "coaching staff was made aware of the suspension and clarification […]
Vince Young, Ricky Williams Highlight Joel Klatt’s All-Time Texas Team
With No. 1 Texas set to face No. 3 Ohio State in the biggest game of the year — and with the showdown airing on FOX — we asked Joel Klatt to do something special: build his all-time Texas Longhorns football team.From legends like Tommy Nobis and Vince Young to modern stars, Klatt had tough choices to make as he pieced together an all-time team from one of college football’s most tradition-rich programs.Joel Klatt's All-Time Texas TeamHead coach: Mack BrownKlatt's case: "He's one of the classiest guys ever. He won a national championship and had sustained success for a decade — winning 10 games every single year." Brown set a high standard at Texas throughout his 16-year tenure from 1998-2013. He finished with the second most wins of any Longhorns coach (158), only behind Darrell Royal. He developed Longhorn greats such […]
Jerry Jones compares Micah Parsons trade to Herschel Walker trade
Jerry Jones compared the Micah Parsons trade to the Herschel Walker trade."I want to be sure that our fans understand," Jones said Thursday evening during the longtime owner and general manager's news conference at The Star.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement"I think a lot of Micah and I wish him so much success — I don't want him to have success when he plays the Cowboys as much as I do want him to have overall success. But Micah Parsons did an outstanding job for us for four years and a little bit of the way Herschel Walker may have had his greatest contribution to the Cowboys, what he brought to us when he left could be a tremendous thing for our fans and the success of this team."Dallas sent Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a pair of first-round picks and […]
Micah Parsons Trade Breaks During ‘First Things First’ and Reactions Are Crazy
The FOX Sports "First Things First" crew could not contain their emotions when the Micah Parsons trade went down while they were live. Reactions came in the form of everything from pure joy to utter disbelief.Chris Broussard took a positive approach, saying "Good for Micah! I am happy for him!" Parsons had requested a trade on August 1st, so for the Cowboys to honor that request and move him to Green Bay, who rewarded him with an extension, is a huge win for the premier edge-rusher.Danny Parkins, on the other hand, looked at the deal from a negative perspective. "This is my nightmare," he said. And Nick Wright thought about the impact the Parsons trade would have on the show as "First Things First" predicted how the NFC North would shake out on its Wednesday episode. "Are we able to revise our […]
