Bundesliga President Hans Rinner said that the "rejection is based on financial reasons." Rinner: "The financial framework of the offer doesn't meet the expectations of the clubs." Rinner added that the bookmaker has "an excellent reputation." He said that the league "will conduct a detailed evaluation of the offer." In addition, Rinner was re-elected on Friday "to serve another four-year term as president of the Bundesliga" (KURIER, 12/6).
