“NEVER AGAIN” — DANNY ROHL CONFIRMS TWO SHOCK PLAYERS WON’T PLAY FOR THE CLUB AGAIN AS THEY ARE SET FOR JANUARY EXIT, NOBODY WOULD’VE EXPECTED

“Never again.” Those were the striking words attributed to Danny Röhl as he delivered one of the most ruthless decisions of his tenure, confirming that two senior players will not feature for the club again and are now set for January exits in a development that has stunned supporters and pundits alike.

The statement came after a tense internal review following recent performances and off-field issues that have reportedly tested Röhl’s patience. While the German coach stopped short of publicly naming the individuals in his immediate remarks, sources close to the club have since indicated that the decision is final and irreversible, with both players already informed that they are no longer part of the manager’s plans.

Röhl, who has built a reputation for discipline, intensity, and a clear footballing identity, is understood to have reached breaking point after what he viewed as repeated breaches of standards. Speaking candidly, the manager made it clear that talent alone is not enough to secure a place under his leadership, stressing that commitment, attitude, and professionalism are non-negotiable.

“This club has values,” Röhl is believed to have told those within the dressing room. “If you cannot meet them every day, then you cannot represent us. Never again means never again.”

The shock surrounding the decision stems largely from the profiles of the players involved. Both have been regular contributors in recent seasons and, at different points, were considered important figures within the squad. One is said to be a seasoned campaigner with leadership experience, while the other is a technically gifted player many fans expected to play a key role in the second half of the campaign. Their sudden fall from favour has therefore raised eyebrows and sparked intense debate.

Behind the scenes, however, the move has been coming. Insiders suggest Röhl has grown increasingly frustrated with what he perceives as a lack of tactical discipline and a failure to fully buy into his high-energy approach. Training ground standards have reportedly been a particular concern, with the manager demanding absolute intensity in every session.

January now looms as the inevitable exit point. The club is actively working with representatives to find suitable destinations, with both permanent transfers and loan deals being explored. Given their experience and pedigree, interest is expected from both domestic and overseas clubs, and negotiations could move quickly once the window opens.

For supporters, the news has been met with mixed reactions. Some have expressed disappointment at seeing familiar faces pushed out so abruptly, questioning whether the situation could have been handled differently. Others, however, have applauded Röhl’s firmness, viewing the decision as a sign of strong leadership and a refusal to compromise on standards.

What is clear is that the manager is sending a powerful message to the rest of the squad. No player, regardless of reputation or past contributions, is bigger than the club or immune from consequences. With the season entering a crucial phase, Röhl appears determined to streamline his group and ensure every individual is fully aligned with his vision.

The decision may also have implications for January recruitment. By moving on two established players, the club will free up both squad space and wages, potentially allowing Röhl to bring in reinforcements better suited to his system. Fans can now expect a busy and possibly transformative transfer window.

Ultimately, Röhl’s “never again” declaration may come to define this chapter of his reign. It is a gamble, but one rooted in conviction. If results improve and performances follow, the shock exits will be remembered as a turning point. If not, questions will inevitably be asked. For now, though, the message is unmistakable: under Danny Röhl, standards are everything, and there are no second chances.
