"Only spend the money you have": Borussia Monchengladbach count on financial prudence to navigate through pandemic

Michael Plum, the club's head of administration, tells offthepitch.com a solid equity position ensures Monchengladbach won't have to part with their best players to stable operations.

Even so, the Bundesliga club expect an about €20 million deficit for the season though disposing of Manchester City in the Champions League would be a major boost.

Having already agreed wage reductions with players and staff, further cost-saving is not expected in the short-term, though that could change if next season starts without supporters.
