Thick air at Schalke 04 ahead of the home match against FC St. Pauli. We talk about this in the new episode of the fußball inside podcast.

An embarrassment at 1. FC Magdeburg, a debate behind closed doors, angry fans at the training ground, the threat of traffic chaos due to the public transport strike – events came thick and fast at FC Schalke 04 in the week leading up to the difficult home match against FC St. Pauli (Friday, 6.30 pm/Sky), who are almost invincible at the top of the table this season. Presenter Nils Halberscheidt analyzes the situation in detail with reporters Andreas Ernst and Christian Brausch.

Second topic in the podcast: Third division club Rot-Weiss Essen. There’s been a lot going on at RWE. On Thursday (February 22), RWE coach Christoph Dabrowski extended his contract until June 30, 2026. A few days later, WAZ and Forecasting reported on the departure of board boss Marcus Uhlig and his board colleague Sascha Peljhan – as well as on Uhlig’s successor Marc-Nicolai Pfeifer.

We talk about these topics and, of course, the current situation at the other clubs in the Ruhr region on “fußball inside”. Have fun.
