Clubs hit back at Rummenigge remarks

Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach have hit back at Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge for suggesting the rest of the Bundesliga are plotting against his side.

Rummenigge accused his club’s rivals of rejecting Bayern’s request to delay the start of the 2014/15 season in order to gain an advantage from their World Cup-winning players’ late return to pre-season training.
