But Schumi-deal not in jeopardy

Dusseldorf --
The sports world is looking forward to the comeback-Schumacher, the German fans on the Formula-1-Traumehe with Mercedes - the Luca di Montezemolo is also now his blessing. "If he decides to take a different path, then our agreement no longer apply," says Ferrari chief despite an ongoing agreement until 2012 with Schumacher as Ferrari's advisor.
But, now brings a suspected fraudster as good as the deal still lashed to falter? It's about a million scandal in Düsseldorf, Henkel Corporation (EXPRESS reported), is also in the English borrowed from Mercedes BrawnGP team involved. Ross Brawn concluded with the now terminated Henkel PR man Kai von Bargen (42) a three-year contract from about 90 million euros. This fixed scheduled Mercedes suddenly missing money, because the detergent giant declared the contract null and void, "Henkel is not willing to take because fraudulent documents created for a non-payment intentions Formula 1 sponsorship." Because of the center of Brawn November reminded us pay the first installment drew Henkel court.
30 million per year, even in the billions of Formula 1 circus is no trifle. Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug ( "We are in the budget by 2011, a total of 50, aim for 60 million euros), therefore missing half of the annual budget!
Is now the entire Formula 1 engagement in danger? Dies, the German dream team with Nico Rosberg (24) and Schumacher before the completion? Or the company will pay the 30 million to his new team at the end of yourself? Daimler spokesman Wolfgang Schattling to EXPRESS: "The immediate loss of sponsorship money from Henkel does not affect the objective and plans of the team." The dispute with a handle, he says: "Mercedes is a consensual agreement regarding the complete BrawnGP summer with sponsorship contract interested. "Which means: One hopes that at least a partial amount.
And as Schumacher comes into play: With him as justifying brand ambassador could handle a million-investment in the global advertising platform rather than only Brawn, Haug and Rosberg.

Should it come to that, we need to prepare for severe disruptions in communications, banking, the financial system and public services.

It's not the first time that humanity would suffer from the solar storms. As early as 1859 the threat from space could burn off the telegraph wires. And ten years ago have been set by the radiation parts of the Canadian power grid out of action.

In addition, the Leverkusen said on Friday the Express: "What rubbish. They know full well that the fight, the way they want it, is not possible. Which become important only at my expense.

Because: "There was no firm offer from us," informed spokesman George Mc Kinney scarce. The company currently saves and wants that other DSL providers shift the expensive fiber optic cable. The giant from Bonn wants to equip this year more than 400 municipalities with fast Internet access. Rheinbach is not dabei.Die city continued to knock on the expansion: "We insist on the enforcement of our agreements," says spokesman Peter Feuser.
Even Mayor Stefan Raetz is sour.

By how much is at stake is still unklar.Das fast Internet in the Rhine river - yet it lacks in every 15th Budget - should be finished by March, so the plans.

Cologne - "It would be nice if Manasseh Ishiaku times were an alternative" - Zvonimir Soldo after the morning practice on Monday.
The FC coach smiled at this statement - and acted as if he himself was not more to it believe that the ever-injured Nigerians (in Emden, not once again) in the squad ever become a real option in the Cologne attack could be. Bitter!
Especially striker Milivoje Novakovic more missing. While the captain and 16-goal man last season was the first time on Saturday to train with the ball, but - stand now - Nova is ready until the third match against Frankfurt for a bet.
EXPRESS-BuLi Cup: League tap here and cruise to win>
Clearly, that yearns Soldo as cult-Keeper Faryd Mondragon ( "We need two new") after reinforcement. EXPRESS hooked by the Croats: they want another striker?
The answer: "We're off, still looking for players that we can improve. About the positions I do not want to talk now. "
That said, Michael Meier. The FC Manager clarified that the issue Cristian Tanase was far from finished.
"We are clear with the player and the club have made an offer which Tanase market value. We are waiting for an answer and see: He still has not signed anywhere else. "
Pitesti boss Andrei Penescu drives the poker now at the top. The Patron for the dubious EXPRESS:
"Meier came with Dorinel Munteanu in Bucharest, we were negotiating. The FC has offered more than two million euros. But that's us too little. The Cologne do not have enough money. If you ask me, the thing is done with Cologne. We have interested parties who are willing to pay more. "
Well one more reason why poker-Meier ( "The Art of a manager is to play well with a bad hand") to the EXPRESS information maintains contacts in Spain.
No joke: The advisor of Real Madrid's Alvaro Negredo should have been spoken about a borrowing. But the striker is probably a size too big for the FC - because it is too expensive ...

Van Gaal big problems

Munich - It was almost 45 minutes late, but then powerfully:
To Kölsch time clock at 11.11 Louis van Gaal (57) appeared on Wednesday for the first time on the training ground at the Säbener road.
And with stopwatch and whistle around his neck asked the new Bayern coach to a 102-minute unit.
With big ambitions and clearly addresses the Dutchman goes to his task. "Our model has to be the FC Barcelona. They have good football players - like us. But they work as a team. That is the reason for their success. I am convinced that we will be able to do, "said van Gaal.
But obviously wohlernährte Dutchman has problems thick over his chest. To be integrated not just nine to newbies. There are also sensitive personal data, which may provide more explosive.
The diva-like genius. Star Franck Ribéry would rather stay on Thursday than on Friday to Real Madrid, but must be () well. "First, there is no new offer, and secondly, there was never an offer," said general manager Uli Hoeness this on Wednesday.
The intelligence chief wounded. Lucio (31) no longer feels used and abandoned. And, thinking aloud for a farewell: "Bavaria and the reports I have created a situation that is anything but beautiful. Therefore, a change makes sense if there was a great offer, "was now align Lucio from Brazil.
Gambling on the gate. The record champions looked Manuel Neuer undertake. But to stay with Manchester City - and the Bavarians have two goalkeepers (Rensing, get butt) that the very high standards could not be enough. Luca, the loser? Luca Toni in the storm could come to the siding. The Italian now has three strong competitors (Gomez, Klose, Olic) and flirted with a return to Italy.
The rights to the right. The right-back van Gaal is preparing a headache, then he has so far only the untalented Christian Lell. The coach will probably have to repurpose left-back Philipp Lahm.
The large squad. The new sporting director Christian Nerlinger had announced that the 26-man squad will be reduced. Lell, Andreas Ottl and Tim Borowski (Werder talks with) are no longer needed - and we know it. Make a stink?
Get discipline fanatics van Gaal, the stress fields under control? By its very nature, he would have to adjust to Munich, as he says: "The Bavarian lifestyle fits me like a warm coat. Mir san mir! We are we! And I am I: Self-confident, arrogant, domineering and honest, industrious, innovative, but also warm and friendly. "
