From an economic point of view, relegated Erzgebirge Aue can aim for an immediate return to the 3rd soccer league. "In my opinion, we won't fail to get promoted again for financial reasons," CFO Andreas Stark told the "Freie Presse" newspaper. However, one must "of course take into account that other clubs are on a par with us."
Stark, who has held the position of board member since last November, sees the club in an "averagely solid position". However, the club is also dependent on financial aid and deferrals. This would enable the club to meet its financial requirements and at the same time maintain the opportunity to "invest in the sporting quality of the team and the overall maintenance of the infrastructure."
